Regular poster Stephen Green approvingly posted this comment at Instapundit. Understand, neither Green nor Ehrlich is arguing Putin is no war criminal. Truth isn't always what the situation needs.
With Green's reference to Sun Tzu's "golden bridge," both are arguing that what's needed, if Ukraine isn't to die under a grinding Russian onslaught, is a way for Putin to claim victory, bring his troops home and stay in power. If we convince people Putin is a "war criminal," how can we make a deal with him?
