Chomsky advocates that the west should stop fanning the flames in Ukraine by supplying more weapons and prolonging the conflict. Instead, it should help broker a diplomatic solution that will end the conflict and end the suffering for the people in Ukraine.
The soldiers? Coercion from their state, at the least. I don’t know how most feel about it, but soldiers rarely abandon in large numbers, even in other controversial invasions like USA in Vietnam or Afghanistan or Cuba.
The state? They didn’t just go in for no reason. Whether it be expansionism, anti-NATO “forward defense”, Putin being irredentist, concern for neo-Nazis being embraced and killing pro-Russian separatists or ‘ethinic Russians’ what ever that means to them, whether the motives are ethical or selfish or not or a mix, they had motivation or they wouldn’t have spent so much on it. They’ve sunk the cost, what happens if they retreat? Massive morale loss, reputational damage to leaders, continued expansion of NATO and US influence in Europe, loss of useful territory, impact to their allies including (what Russia recognizes as) Donetsk People’s Republic and Luhansk People’s Republic. There’s a lot motivating them to continue being there, whether we think it’s right or wrong effectively doesn’t matter to the people making that decision.
tl;dw?

Nothing is stopping the Russians from going back to Russia.

Your cope novel doesn’t detract my statement. If Russia leaves Russians will stop dying in Ukraine, end of story.
Explaining why your utopian comment is false isn’t a coping mechanism lmao.
Except you didn’t explain how it was false, you wrote a bullshit novel that boils down to “just because”.
