War and nukes

A thorough search of the Internet concerning the war in Ukraine leads to some interesting conclusions. First off the west is in total agreement that they should continue to finance the war for as Biden says, as long as it takes. Ukraine officials are in total agreement that they will not cede one inch of land to Russia. Russia sees the loss of Ukraine as the beginning of the end to their country. With Ukraine and Finland joining NATO it means Russian/NATO is border longer than the US/Canadian border. Russian history tells the Russians that when they don't have a buffer state to protect them they get invaded and they can't take another WW2. So we are faced with the immovable object meets and irresistible force one side has to give. There are some legitimate reasons to believe that if Ukraine begins to lose that the west will not give them nukes to survive but there are equally legitimate reasons to believe that if Russia begins to lose Russia will use nukes. In searching the Internet there is only lukewarm interest in a negotiated peace because it is inconceivable that Russia would pull out without anything to show for their invasion. The US pulled out of Korea, Vietnam and Afghanistan without a clear victory perhaps it is time to do that again. If it comes down to a negotiated peace through giving land to Russia or a nuclear confrontation people should not forget MAD (mutually assured destruction) the policy that kept the two supper powers from going to war for 60 years. A new approach is needed and it should be based on old adage that if you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.
