:::Furthermore, Jesus said, "He who lives by the sword, dies by the sword". Jesus and Christianized countries are not for imperialistic wars which violate [[Just War Theory]]. Russia has paid a high price in both casualties and national treasure as far as the war in Ukraine.

:::And as far as whether or not Ukraine could win the war and gain back all their land, while winning the war to that extent is not likely and a frozen conflict is more likely, it is not impossible either. Russia is having significant economic problems. In addition, as time progresses the war is becoming less popular due to the casualties and slow territorial gains in Ukraine. If you add growing economic problems, Putin could eventually have problems. In the last 100 years, Russia has had 3 revolutions.[https://www.historynewsnetwork.org/article/are-russians-really-long-suffering] Already in this war, the paramilitary group The Wagner Group, was heading for Moscow in terms of a rebellion. On the other hand, Russia may wind up eking out a [[Pyrrhic victory]] in Ukraine (with the possibility of having a Ukrainian insurgency for many years).

::::'''"low territorial gains"'''. I get a kick out of this argument, presented in many ways at many times. ''''Question:''' The [[United States]] fought the [[Vietnam war]] for 10 years, the [[Afghan war]] for 20 years, and the [[Iraq war]] for at least 11 years (before it expanded into [[Syria]] with the rise of the [[Islamic State]]. After 41 years of [[war]]fare, how much [[Vietnam]]ese, [[Aghan]], or [[Iraq]]i territory does the [[United States]] control?

:::Lastly, there are a lot more cultural ties/similarities between the USA/Europe that with Russia and the USA does a whole lot more trade with the EU than with Russia. The EU is America's largest trading partner. While it would be excellent for the USA/Russia to have better relations, many times our national interests have not lined up sufficiently is why the USA and Russia have only had good relations 37% of the time since 1898.[https://grok.com/share/c2hhcmQtNA%3D%3D_02ddecee-ca38-4978-a0ac-3d2e1bad39ff] As long as Russia wants to violate the air space of NATO countries and have an imperialistic war in Ukraine, relations are going to be strained between Russia and the USA.
