Some believe that the war has already ended.
Some think all the West needs to do is to send more money munitions and equipment, and train more fresh Ukrainian conscripts of just-about-fighting age to work them.
Some believe we should send our own troops to "confront Putin" (but it is fairly obvious that we have already done that to some extent, so we are already at war with Russia).
I suppose some even think that a few nukes aimed at Russia would do the job, even at this late stage, but we won't go there today.
One thing I think we can rule out is "war without end". Russia has made it plain that that isn't going to happen, and, well, she seems to hold all the cards ...
"The lack of manpower in Ukraine cannot be solved. It is a product of endless death paid for with our tax dollars. NATO has prolonged the fighting with funding and arms, but not to win, only to sacrifice more people in a bloody conflict Ukraine is destined to lose"
