Appeasement doesn't work with this aggressor; it only emboldens them and increases the likelihood of another landgrab in a few years. The only thing they understand is force.

Wanting the war to end is reasonable. Not caring who wins is extremely naive or selfish

Exactly, that's why supporting Ukraine is extremely important. As long as the aggressor still thinks there's a chance to conquer more territory, the war won't end.

I would say that the US also belongs in the agressor camp.

Do you mean globally in general? They're obviously not the aggressor in Ukraine. My Ukrainian friends didn't have their their family home annihilated US shells directly or indirectly.

Whether you are an agressor or not depends on the conflict. One can be both in different conflicts, and even change roles over time in the same conflict.

Yes, and in the Russian-Ukranian war Russia is the aggressor.

It worked with Stalin at Yalta in 1945, when Churchill signed away vast swaths of Eastern Europe to Soviet rule. "Appeasement" is frankly nothing more than a pejorative word for diplomacy. Be wary of those who employ its use.
