I understand your viewpoint although I don't agree with it, when you say:

"The only way out of the hell that is this war is defeat and surrender."

This war has been happening, on and off, for decades. With periods of unstable peace in between.

A more effective and lasting path to peace needs to be found, and the Dogs of War laid to rest.

People who whitewash the actions of one side while demonising the other side don't help much.

Enough said.
