>> Now it's all transactional.

Can you give me ANY scenario in which there is a cogent rationale for continuing this war, and what the end-game might be? Are you thinking there is some reasonable scenario in which Ukraine wins this war, and if so, at what human toll in lives including children, what economic terms do you envision this win occurring.

(I will just say that the cogent estimates I see are that best possible case scenario gives Ukraine a 20-25% chance of regaining significant land if the West joins in, and unstated (but large numbers of) casualties on both sides).

So, you tell me what losses you anticipate given your way forward that isn't "transactional".

And tell me, in this transaction, what makes it worthwhile to either of the participants in this transaction?

If someone can pose a credible way forward other than Ukraine negotiating to keep what it can, I'm willing to listen. I just haven't seen anyone doing that.
