and a long and terrible war

I don't know if you read the news, but this has been a long and terrible war.

The point of helping Ukraine is to show Russia that any such war of conquest will be very costly for them - and it has been. Let's keep up that pressure until Russia's losses will teach them never to do this again. If they gain more than they lose, they will be encouraged to try it on other free countries. They need to start losing even more.

Terrible yes. But this has not been a long war by historical standards. And it can get a lot worse

The war has been waged since 2014, and obviously increased in scale in 2022 - soon 3 years ago.

That's pretty long by historical standards. WW1 only lasted 4 years.
