Elon is not arguing that Ukraine should surrender and become Russia. He is arguing that peace talk should be held and some concessions be made, for example let Russia keep Crimea and Donbas. Peace sucks and is totally unfair. But he thinks letting the war go on another year, no progress have been made or worse Russia has gained more ground and then have to make the same decision sucks even more.
All legislation in the US has to be written by the House or Senate and has to get either the Speaker of the House to bring it up or a majority in the House and 60 votes in the Senate to just get a vote. That is why it is almost impossible to get legislation passed now even the support of Ukraine which most legislators want but refuse to vote for out of fear of their own party. But yes Biden supports unions even though a lot of their union members vote for self extermination.No he's not, otherwise he wouldn't be discriminating against Tesla who is literally the only western company building BEVs at scale. Biden wanted to kneecap Tesla by giving more IRA incentives to unions, only Manchin's intervention saved Tesla from being discriminated.
How do you understand the logic of peace talks to work?Elon is not arguing that Ukraine should surrender and become Russia.

The Jews, the Roma, the Socialists, the homosexuals and others got eternal peace thanks to the deals worked out between Germany and its weaker opponents in 1939.How do you understand the logic of peace talks to work?
If one side is stronger, they will not want to stop. Russia is stronger than Ukraine. Ukraine evens the odds with some help from allies, but doesn't get strong enough to win outright.
Now, major ally stops helping -> Russia gains the advantage -> peace?
Here's Tucker actually telling the truth about the Russian Dictator back in ~2006 when he was working for MSNBC. Fast forward to 01:50:
for example let Russia keep Crimea and Donbas.
That would work if Putin keeps his word. He's been shown to not keep it. Give him a couple of years to regroup and he'll invade again. After all, this is the second time he's invaded after he broke his word once.Elon is not arguing that Ukraine should surrender and become Russia.

IMO a lot of Elon's extremist opinions these days are originating with the company he is keeping. Emotionally he's 13. He wants to belong to the cool kid's clique and his "friends" are using him for their own ends.
- Moscow has put the Estonian prime minister, Kaja Kallas, and other Baltic states officials on a wanted list, as Tallinn warns of an imminent Russian military buildup along its border. The Russian foreign ministry spokesperson, Maria Zakharova, said the Estonian state secretary, Taimar Peterkop; the Lithuanian culture minister, Simonas Kairys, and Kallas were accused of “destroying monuments to Soviet soldiers”, a reference to the removal of Soviet-era second world war memorials.
- Estonia’s prime minister Kaja Kallas said on Tuesday she would not be silenced and continue her strong support to Ukraine after Russian police put her on a wanted list. She said: “I will continue my strong support to Ukraine. I will continue to stand for increasing Europe’s defence.”

Russian Federation is different from Russia.Russia will only regroup and attack again after "peace deal". So why give Russia a breather? In your lifetime, or our children's.
This war is eventually about grinding Russia to the ground, preferably Balkanization. It is the only lasting solution.
Yep, this was brought up before a long time ago for the previous "peace plan". And like the first go, that's Ukraine's decision to make. We should be fully supporting them before and after they make such a decision. If we pull support to "force" them to a ceasefire, you would have to be fairly naive to not see that Russia will just use this as a chance to overrun Ukraine.That would work if Putin keeps his word. He's been shown to not keep it. Give him a couple of years to regroup and he'll invade again. After all, this is the second time he's invaded after he broke his word once.
Strangely they didn't put Kallas on their wanted list because of her staunch support of Ukraine, but for removing a Soviet era monument from Eastern-Estonia, right next to the Russian border. The monument was of an invading T-34 tank on a pedestal with the barrel pointing towards the capital, Tallinn. Yeah, no thanks.Russia-Ukraine war live: Zelenskiy hails US Senate vote on Ukraine aid – as it happened

I support the sentiment, but the realities of a Russian break up would be way more complicated. Due to centuries of russification most of the regions are by now majority ethnic Russian, and the voiceless people have been denied any autonomy based on national identity.Russian Federation is different from Russia.
Dozens or hundreds of downtrodden nationalities. Russians are primarily located in a few areas/cities.
A lot of the mineral rich areas are not primarily Russian.
Russian Federation splitting is just a natural continuation of USSR splitting.
