Withdrawing means admitting defeat. That wont happen without a ceasefire and talks and compromise in some way shape or form that makes
Putin look good.
At least you are admitting they can negotiate.
I thought you had gone full on blood lust.
Yes, I am glad you acknowledge that the belligerents in a confrontation tend to have demands and interests and negotiating these is difficult.
I'm just saying, since you insist that the war itself is a tragedy and should be ended as soon as possible, that the single fastest way to end it is for Russia to stop prosecuting the war that they started.
That you find those conditions unacceptable should hopefully make you realize that maybe there are conditions the other party in the war (Ukraine) also finds unacceptable, and your continual insistence that they accept whatever Russia demands is perhaps not the most realistic expectation.
As I have mentioned several times, I dont have dog in this fight.
This a blatant and obvious lie.
You have a fierce ideological commitment to the idea that NATO is to blame and must be dismantled.
(You have other obvious biases, sure, but that's the actual dog you have in the fight.)
If you were willing to step back and be objective or cooler in your analysis of geopolitics in all its complexity, you wouldn't say quite as many silly things as you say.
And I have. I have talked at length about how the last 30 years of NATO actions have led up to this moment.
Yes.
We've discussed your cartoon view of history and geopolitics.
On the other hand, while you run your mouth about addressing actual actions and behaviours on the ground and staying objective, you consistently display the opposite and use 2 primary reasonings for the war a) Apparently "unprovoked" Russian Aggression(s) leading to distrust between the west and Russia b) Russian ambitions to recreate some version of the USSR.
Wow.
You aren't even pretending to pay attention, are you?
