I very much doubt that people in the West calling for "peace" (e.g. surrender to Russia) have anything in their little heads except a desire to run away from hard reality and seek refuge in soothing platitudes - and, most importantly, to return to the situation as it was before 24th Feb 2022 when they could live idle peaceful lives in which their primary interest was gawping at mindless entertainments while cramming slop down their throats. As Europe was stupid enough to become reliant on Russian hydrocarbons, such people simply want cheap power again and care nothing for the realities that are consequent on living under Russian domination. We in the West are, in short, ignorant, foolish, spoiled, self-indulgent, and spineless. It's not a very edifying fact, but it's true. And it is why our "leaders" continue to do far too little, far too late, to aid Ukraine in any truly meaningful way.
