Putin have 2 options to stop war or get russia occupied by france

[Hispo]

France is no Napoleon anymore. Nobody is going to be sending troops into russia, not even Ukraine.

Putin should use his other option to stop the war... conquer all of Ukraine.

He's doing a bad job at that so far.

I find quite interesting the fact some people in a democratic country like the United States could be willing to accept a big country to invade a smaller neighbor country, against the international laws. Specially because, most of the people in the USA did not even know about Ukraine and could not even point out on a map where it is located.
People in the United States which do not care about Ukraine or it's people, in my opinion, do not seem to be actually in favor of democracy. What kind of democracy they would be defending if they accept a regime like that Putin keeps people under and plans to expand over free republics like Ukraine was supposed to be?
It sounds like a big contradiction to talk about freedom and yet support a dictator who does not think twice before killing his political adversaries in the country.

If someone of those pro-Russian Americans were born in Moscow, they could not even badmouth Putin in the same way they do to Biden, without being thrown in jail for charges of terrorism, treason or something.

Russia will be happy to keep things at a standstill with Ukraine. They already have captured enough of the east. The Ukrainian speakrs that didn't like Russia already have fleed and Europe took them in with open arms. They already have visas and jobs. Soon more of them will be having children in EU countries which will be getting automatic residency status. The Ukrainian economy is in shambles and keeps going only thanks to western funds.

Europeans have also kept feeling the pressure from the war with increased agricultural prices and expensive gas, petrol and electricity. The deficits of European economies have increased and never really recovered since the war begun. The stabilization the politicians are now talking about is not for prices to ever return to normal, but maybe for food inflation to be lower than 10% yoy.

The war in Ukraine was sold to Europeans as something necessary. Some economic sacrifices would be needed, but without having to send soldiers, so Russia wouldn't get closer to European borders if we prevented them from annihilating Ukraine. Now that Ukraine appears to not getting any ground, politicians are also talking about sending men on the ground. The European people however are not fond of that idea. And if that starts happening at scale, I'd expect a few governments to fall. Interestingly enough the rise of reactionary right wing politicians has those new politicians split in spite of them supposedly being part of the self proclaimed patriotic right. Some of them would support Ukraine no matter what, but most listen to the people and say no to sending weapons or men to Ukraine (just as the populist left has been saying for ages). So there's a growing European sentiment against support for Ukraine actually.
