I see the analogy but I think it's a bit more complex when people are actually dying right now and there is no clear path, or even any path, to a Ukrainian victory (defined as return of territories). Should the shopowner keep fighting the shoplifter or let hin go and focus on improving his security for next time? And yes, I understand that you'll say the shoplifter will be encouraged to return, so it won't increase future security, but it might still be the best bet. I haven't personally concluded on this but I'm more pragmatic than you'd probably appreciate. I still appreciate you though 🧡
