“Completely relevant because it gives cause for the west to support Ukraine in its struggle. It destroys the ridiculous claims that Russia is being reasonable and thus the west should not oppose Russia.”
War doesn’t care about nobility of cause, both sides think their cause is the noble one. The only way to beat Russia is to send about 200,000 troops and all their needed material. Trump isn’t going to do that and no one else can.

It is obvious that you have not studied much military history. Wars are not won only, or even primarily, on the battlefield. Ukraine has already halted Russia's attempt to conquer it.
