My Ukraine take that nobody asked for because, “stick to poker”
Putin is a bad guy.
Zelensky is a brave dude who hates Putin and wants to defend his country.
I spoke to friends in Ukraine who said in the first year they had hope they could win this war, but at this point, they just want the war to stop.
So, how does this war end?
Can Russia win? Maybe.
Can Ukraine win? I don’t think so.
Continuing this war leads to more resources exhausted, most importantly the lives of soldiers, many poor ones from rural areas being forced into war and death.
Found on the streets walking their dog, thrown into a van, and into battle against their will.
At this point, to win this war on the battlefield requires starting WWIII, and the only other option that might work is to end it in the boardroom over a negotiating table where both sides have to make some concessions.
Without some concessions, the war doesn’t end.
What is Zelensky’s proposal to end this war?
More weapons?
More money?
More soldiers?
Is that the plan?
If so, I don’t see how it ends war, it just prolongs it.
The US can play a role in ending it at the negotiating table, but I don’t see how more weapons aid solves anything.
Ukraine faces two scenarios that are both
-EV
1) Continue to fight and lose lives in an unwinnable war.
2) Make concessions to the monster that you hate that attacked your country.
Both choices suck, but sometimes you have to choose between the best of two bad options.

If you are angry at me for this take, I just ask you to ask yourself why?
I want to see an end to war, and in my opinion, a deal of some kind is the only way.
I am no expert, but based on the information I’ve gathered from listening to some experts, this is how I see it.
I was hanging with a friend yesterday who's launched a couple successful businesses. He said this,
"Happy people don’t hate. People compete at the bottom and collaborate at the top."
Given all the PvP on CT recently, it makes me think we might be nearing a bottom.
The best days on Solana were when all the ETH guys said we were poor.
Pre-Memecoins.
Pre-Degods Hype.
Just a buncha random NFT mints daily and everyone screaming “RARE AF!” And “FREE!”
We just kept vibing as a community and not giving a fuck.
Good times.
