Yet more evidence that you appear to struggle with reading for understanding. I've never suggested for a moment that Ukrainian surrender was not an option, but I've pointed out that both morally and pragmatically it's a problematic strategy. In the short-term it rewards Putin's aggressive expansionist imperialism, and in the long-term it gives Putin time and freedom to rearm and plan his next invasion.
As for Jeremiah, why would I give even half a shit what he had to say, given that even if they are an accurate representation of his words, he was existing in a fundamentally different political, social, economic and military paradigm? At least if you were to suggest Sun Tzu's 'Art of War' it would be directly relevant, or von Clausewitz's 'Vom Kriege' it'd only be from the last millennium.
