Nope!
Too many people use the term "settle" in the context of one side committing indiscriminate war crimes and atrocities while DESTROYING THE INFRASTRUCTURE and PHYSICAL HISTORY of a country.
From the perspective of 911 to what the Russians are doing is spitting vs a hurricane. Talk of the Ukrainian President being "crooked" seems to justify the disgusting slaughter of the Ukrainian people in some folks' minds. One does not "settle" such destruction of a people for personal, financial benefits.

William Barret Travis at The Alamo was one. Before that stand, he abandoned his wife and young son to come to Texas and basically cause trouble. He was pro slavery. He was known for a terrible ego.
But at The Alamo, facing dire straights, he rose to the occasion and through his letters to his compatriots, showed a man willing to fight and die as a soldier.
Second was the great Winston Churchill. Many don’t realize that before WW-2, he had a rather checkard career.
As Lord of the Admiralty at the Gallipoli campaign, he was blamed for two military disasters.
He was in the backwater of British Politics until WW-2 when he rose to Prime Minister and singularly inspired Great Britain to never give up.
Ukrainian President Zelenskyy just might be cut from the same mold. At this point in time, he is showing the kind of leadership while facing insurmountable odds that makes hero’s of ordinary people.
The next few weeks will tell.
