Oh, I see, you think because he's focused only on Ukraine right now that you're containing him as long as Russian and Ukrainian soldiers keep dying and Ukraine keeps getting pounded into dirt. Did you realize that's where you come out on this? As long as it's just them dying, it's okay because you don't have any better ideas for stopping the war?
What's your plan for removing Putin from Ukraine, and why do you assume he's going to stop expansion efforts because you did? The Afghans removed Russia from their country, and it did nothing to stop them, so why do you think Quid Pro Joe had a better idea?
In short, what you think is containment is nothing more than short-term occupation of Russia's attention, which is not superior to ending the war and is far bloodier.
