I wouldn't call it "playing" geopolitics when his company is sinking money into the conflict via starlink, and he presumably has no choice in the matter. Peace is always better than war, I'm not sure when we started valuing life so cheaply. Or is it just Ukrainian lives we'll happily write off? Overwhelmingly men, and not the children of the oligarchs that are funnelling money out of the country. Ultimately, every one will pay the price for this war, except for the political elite that are profiting from it.

Ceding territories in a forced negotiation to only set the stage for the next conflict is not peace, it's appeasement.
