@Darryl @2ndStar @HistoPol @jeff I don't know enough about Socrates to understand the jab, but probably not. Would you continue the war to gain entry to NATO?
I'd suggest this to be one of the more pointless wars because it could be negotiated. There in fact was a peaceful solution in place at one point.
But Socrates was like a warrior poet or something? I am more familiar with Socratic method, and logic. But no expert.
Arguably, we're spilling Ukrainian blood by continuing the war.
