After reading through some articles online I realized that despite the negative effects of war, there are still positive outcomes that can be achieved through war.
This brought my attention to the Russian Ukraine war that lasted about 1 year now.
Some positive effects that result from war include "the correction of injustices, the defeat of a problematic government, advancement in technology and medicine, and a reduction of unemployment".
1. My question now is, has Ukraine achieved any of these positive outcomes in the course of the war?
2. As President, would you engage in a war to achieve any of these positive outcomes?
"Engaging in war" - you mean defend your country?
You talk like if there was a choice - or better said - a reasonable choice. This is the old dilemma of fight or fly. Flying would mean that the country would have been in disarray or someone would have taken the reins and lead the war or that Putin would have seated another despot and millions would suffer for it. Fighting (self-defence, no "engaging in war") means that you accept there will be loses and suffering during a not known period of time and the outcome could anyway be bad.
Zelensky and the other members of government chose to defend the country, as at least if offers some hope for the future.
