I hate the 'the West prolongs the war by supplying weapons' take that I've also seen being uttered. Fuck right off, Russia prolongs the war each day they spend in Ukraine.
I somehow never hear anybody say that the allied countries prolonged WW2 by taking up arms against Germany. We even celebrate that fact each year. Mindboggling mental gymnastics on how we could do the same for another country, but now intervention is suddenly a bad thing.

Yeah, Britain got exactly what it deserved during WWII.

The west has definitely prolonged the war, but only by being pansies about what weapons we supplied Ukraine and how they were allowed to use them

Avoiding global nuclear annihilation is typically a good move.
-
If Russia was going to drop nukes, they would have already done so the past several hundred times they threatened to do so. It's all saber rattling.
-
That's pretty easy to say in hindsight.

Hey how about you empty your bank account and give it to me?
If you don't I'll press the nuclear annihilation button.

- You don't have any nukes
- No

How did you know I wouldn't destroy the entire world, including myself, for your minuscule possessions?
If only this lesson could be applied somehow to global political theory...

Russia does not seem to want to turn itself, and the world around it, into radioactive ash anytime soon, despite their constant threats.

The current tankie take to justify the war to avoid just accepting that Russia is conducting imperialism is that Ukraine is a Nazi country. That's it, no nuance, nothing. It's a Nazi country that needs to be liberated. No, you're not allowed to ask any follow up questions. You can get that straight from Cowbee along with 19 pages of bullshit . It's their current meta.

Oh, their "current" meta is so old, they can't come up with anything new.

"Doctors prolong the illness by providing medicine for an otherwise deadly disease."

I mean, yeah, if Russia really wants peace, then they should get the heck out of Ukraine, but Russia (and Russia puppets) have been constantly violating the agreements before 2022, and after 2022 they are bombing our country almost every day with missiles, drones, etc. Though, I think the West is prolonging the war by not helping enough, or very slowly.
Stopping the supply of weapons and money, with the surrender of Ukraine, will be a nightmare for the Ukrainian people, not a "peace".
