The way Trump is thinking of ending this senseless war is how all humans should be thinking after centuries of mass wars and death.

Only Trump is thinking right. His brain has developed. He knows wars are pointless and all end in talks anyway. So why fookin' start them!!

1) An aggressor starts a territory war

2) (By your logic) everyone should be keen to stop wars once started ASAP and by any means

3) Powerful countries step in and stop the war by gifting large chunks of territory to the initial aggressor.

4) The war ends. The aggressor has achieved their war goals, either partially or fully, by gaining territory (see point 1)


5) ... you have created a pretty big motivator for the same or other aggressors to start more wars, not fewer.



If you want fewer wars to start then the solution to ending existing wars cannot place the aggressor in a meaningfully better position than the one they were in when the war started.

This is why wars tend to end on a compromise once war exhaustion has set in and there have been significant losses. When the aggressor will be in a better position if they stop now, than if they stop later. But not in a better position than they were at the start. If that happens then the war was "worth it", and will simply reoccur, either there or elsewhere.
