There wasn't option for peace for Putin. The choice was either war when Russia is weak (now) or war when Russia is stronger (later). In the meantime Ukraine would be prevented from getting any stronger by recieving weapons or forming alliances.

No, there was the option of not having any war at all, and just being friendly with their neighbors. How is that not an option? Wow, the Putin boot-licking here is incredible.

I guess my comment was misunderstood. What I meant was that there wasn't option for Ukraine to have peace, because Puting doesn't want peace. Any peace achieved by appeasing him would be temporary and serve only to strengthen him for the next round of this war.

Sorry, I misunderstood. I agree completely.
