They say we're getting people killed in an unwinnable war when we should cut off support to force Ukraine to give up Donbas and Crimea which is what Trump has to deliver to Putin to get what he, Witkoff, and Lauder want.

Ukraine should be more aggressive in destroying Russian aircraft, ships, and infrastructure. They should also inflict more casualties in rear staging areas and logistics hubs. Force Russia to handle commit more resources to handling their casualties instead of Ukraine committing more resources to capturing and treating POWs. This would also make it harder for the Kremlin to hide the real cost of the war from the Russian people.
