There are many experts saying that tomorrow won't rain, unless we make it rain ourselves. Don't make it sound like there's a clear consensus.

> What data do you have that Russia will stop?

I’m not the one suggesting we throw away €800 billion, excuse me for asking why. Still, I'll try to explain.

Russia has lots to lose and nothing to gain from a direct war with NATO. The last thing it needs is more land and resources, so we can exclude that as well. I also genuinely think the cause of this war is Russia feeling threatened by NATO expansion and a civil war on its border, whether you consider that legit or not.

The only reason for Russia to not stop is if we don't allow it, at this point.
