Why wouldn’t the dying stop? Russia is going to need as many workers as possible to rebuild and make up for military losses, on top of the preexisting population stagnation that was already dwindling their workforce. The worst case scenario imo is population transfer, and that’s not good, but I don’t see Russia being able or willing to waste a population boost from Ukraine.
Precisely. Even if the active war stops with Russia taking over Ukraine as a whole or in part, there would need to be repression against the non-conformant Ukrainian population. The fact that the Ukranians haven’t folded a long time ago and keep fighting means there’s a lot of people that would not be happy with Russian government and therefore they should be expected to resist if that happens anyway. Therefore the obvious need for repression. Therefore the continuation of dying and violence under hose conditions.
That has never been the goal, at least not of the US. The goal has always been to drag the war on as long as possible to maximize the damage to Russia. That’s it.
The goal of the Democrats in the US has been to send much more aid much sooner than the Republicans. It’s the Republicans that want to see Ukraine fail and who are dragging out this stalemate.
Biden proved that he can just do whatever he wants when he bypassed Congress to give a huge military aid package to Israel and how he’s constantly selling arms to Israel using monetary trickery to avoid needing Congressional authorization. Why doesn’t he do that for Ukraine?

Because Ukrainians wouldn’t just stop resisting.

Yip. Russia would not stop until total control of occupied regions and surroundings was obtained.

You mean the people died because of the war?
Gosh if only there was a way to prevent that!
People that died in torture chambers, in civilan houses that got hit by rockets, people that have been deported or incarcerated because they have been deemed to be opposedto russian occupation.
Just onesuch example is written about here: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jul/22/a-murdered-writer-his-secret-diary-of-the-invasion-of-ukraine-and-the-war-crimes-investigator-determined-to-find-it

Also Israel does literally all of that and to an even greater extent, I say we declare war on Israel.
There is, give Ukraine the ability to defend itself and push Russia out.
