We aren't the police of the world, why should we determine when a country surrenders in a war? We can determine if we want to continue to support them financially and with weapons/military backing but outside of that libertarians typically take the stance of non-intervention unless war crimes are being committed.. Which arguably they could be.
Either way this is one reason why rand is a GOP member and not in the LP.
Pretty much every military act since 1946 has been unconstitutional.
Congress, and ONLY Congress, has the power to authorize acts of war.
But here is former Chairman Henry Hyde on that issue when Ron Paul motioned to require a declaration of War on Iraq before invasion:
There are things in the Constitution that have been overtaken by events, by time. Declaration of war is one of them…There are things no longer relevant to a modern society…Why declare war if you don’t have to?…We are saying to the President, use your judgment…So, to demand that we declare war is to strengthen something to death. You have got a hammerlock on this situation, and it is not called for. Inappropriate, anachronistic, it isn’t done anymore….
Why declare war?
BECAUSE CONSTITUTIONALLY YOU FUCKING HAVE TO YOU PIECE OF SHIT.
I mean you could preferably NOT go to war. but if you are going to go to war, you fucking have to declare it according to the constituion. You cannot abdicate that power to the president.

Congress signs off on budget for weapons to Ukraine. Republican Majority Congress at the moment.

I only want to correct one thing, it's the Biden administration and not President Joe Biden that has chosen WW3 as the grand finale

Joe is only picking his flavor of ice cream and nap time everyday.

C’mon. He doesn’t get to pick his nap time.

Russia attacked Ukraine today with a conventional armed ICMB equipped with MIRV's earlier today. Maybe its time to end this shit....
