Can you think of a perspective more extreme, more anti-russian than your own?
It's a test of whether your view is an extreme view or a moderate one.
You got me. I need to adjust the question.
I like your "bully" analogy. Russia's problem is that it's a small bully in a world of big bullies. It needs to steal food from smaller children or it will die. But the top tier bullies are afraid it will become a big bully and a threat if it stays healthy. They are stopping it stealing the food so it will die.
Even more accurately, you could say Russia used to be a bully but is now poor and starving. It needs to steal a dock so it can fish. But the top tier bullies...
Ukraine could alzo stop the war right now by entering peace negotiations and giving up the regions which voted for independence. NATO could also end the war by stopping to send weapons to Ukraine.
Like you say, absurd. China has no reason to stop its resistance to imperial conquest without any fight.
