That’s fair—I don’t expect this to look like the end of WWII either. The conditions and the world are completely different.
I bring up the end of WWII as a comparison to the end of WWI, which sowed the seeds for its successor.
My position is that we need to think carefully about how this conflict ends, such that we don’t plant the seeds of the next conflict in a myopic attempt at punishment. That must be balanced, of course, against what measures we need to take to ensure that this doesn’t happen again, to the best of our ability to compel such an outcome.
And in this era of politics/warfare by other means, are there consensus mechanisms to coordinate such an effort? Contrast with the end of WWII, which was a clear military declaration—will there be such a clear declaration on Reddit and Twitter? Will the economic sanctions from a variety of sources, both countries and companies, be lifted together or at all?
