The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

I cannot say often enough that for all his narcissistic swanning about the stage "agonizing" about "his" decision, the Constitution flatly forbids Trump from attacking a sovereign country that has not attacked the US without obtaining congressional consent.
1/2 Marker of our times:
Public discuss has normalized idea that whatever is churning around in Trump's mind can, *w no restraint or involvement from anyone else,* plunge world into recession ("my tariffs") or major war (Iran)
And that he'll make "reveal" of his whim something like 'Survivor.'
