No one has denied that they lack the military power to physically remove the Russian military from their territory.

Great. At last a simple acknowledgement of reality.

You seem to be using "drive the Russians out" in the very narrow and limited meaning of "physically removing them by force of arms." They can't do that.

Your board compatriots have repeatedly shat on the idea of the Ukrainians bartering for a cease-fire and trading any territory for it…their stance is in the all or nothing category.

Which, if you’re a Ukrainian, understandable. However the simple fact needs to be acknowledged around how difficult that will be. And how costly.

But they have more than enough resources to cause the Russians to leave,

This is, of course, the single assumption driving the entirety of the left wing responses in this thread.
