Searching desperately for reasons to justify compelling Ukraine to stop fighting and accept the loss of conquest of much of its territory.

The reasons seem invalid to me.

It seems to me that if Ukraine finds it that recapturing what Putin has taken costs too many casualties, it will drop the goal on its own.

On the other hand, if it succeeds in largely pushing Putin out, there is no reason to believe Putin will go mad if Ukraine approaches complete success. At that point, if Ukraine offers a commitment to neutrality in exchange for the rest of its territory back, I contend Putin will accept that deal.

Protests can sway the US Supreme Court. US supporters of abortion rights need to organize strongly now.
