My point in posting that is to remind those who cheer a humiliated and defeated Russia that time doesn't just stop. When the Germans were confronted with a peace they found unacceptable, they returned to a more ferocious war just two decades later.

While it is necessary to end the war in Ukraine, it's important to end it in a way that enables Russia to return to the world. Forgetting the past dooms us to repeat it. So it was once said.

“My point in posting that is to remind those who cheer a humiliated and defeated Russia that time doesn’t just stop...it’s important to end (the war) in a way that enables Russia to return to the world.”

No, the lesson is to either bring the Russians to heel like we did with both Japan and Germany or to break up their empire to prevent them from going on the warpath again.

But letting them destroy a country and expecting the world to let them go right back to status quo antebellum?

No.

Yes I got it, but there are nuts on this forum advocating exactly that, ranting about destroying Russia and leaving a rump Russian state.
