    What can they give in exchange for their land?

    “How can we make them pay for something that was stolen from them?”

    I suppose it truly is a capitalist approach…

      It is not capitalism. It is robbery or extortion. But what is the alternative at this point? Let more people die?

        You really think it’s going to stop them from killing people to get what they want? It’d only embolden them.

        It’s not like Russia is relying on highly valuable lives to them. And they clearly don’t care about lives of the other side.

        This option was tried last time, and here we are. Russia has made it clear that the only option is how much do they want to fight to not be part of Russia. I’m not sure if they can fight enough to stop it, but peace and sovereignty is not an option. As Europeans, I’d push hard to help them because they won’t stop with Ukraine, but they can make it abundantly clear that there are cheaper options than expanding west.
