Former President Donald Trump says Ukraine should have made concessions to Russian President Vladimir Putin instead of going to war with its invading neighbor.
Not that I disagree about Ukraine but a good firefighter would probably know if a house is a lost cause and that the best course of action is to prevent the fire from spreading to others.
Ukraine may be in rough shape, but no real fire fighter would stop trying to put out a fire at a burning house. There is always something to save.

Almost as if no analogy is 100% perfect
They would also yell at the people holding back the water.
Its almost like thats exactly what has happened and is still happening. Russia would be on its knees if we actually stopped holding Ukraine back
Ukraine most certainly is not fully engulfed requiring a surround and drown.
Hence the “Not that I disagree about Ukraine” right at the beginning. Just pointing out the fireman metaphor doesn’t really work here.
You are welcome to provide a more apt analogy; mine works fine. @cheese_greater@lemmy.world caught the gist, you may be stuck in the mist?
