Do Not waste your breath here Unless you can agree Drag Queens need to govern Donbas and pedophiles should run surrogacy factories. They just wantsexlib from science and morality.Make the Donbas a neutral zone free of Azov Battalion and Russian troops. Ukraine doesn't join NATO and Putin agrees to get the f*** out of Ukraine.
You have to understand what sits behind all of this. When Gorbachev agreed to dismantle the Soviet union on his deal with Reagan, Reagan pledged to stop the expansion of NATO. One side has primarily kept to their side of the bargain (Russia) while the other side (NATO allies) have continued with their aggressive expansionist tactics.
Any way you slice it the Ukrainian Special Operation has been a drain on Russian resources and anyone who thinks they are in any fit state to continue marching on has rocks in their heads. This is the single biggest difference between now and ww2. Pre 19349 Hitler had amassed the largest most lethal military force in human history. Not until it was too late did, what we now know as the Allies, just how far ahead Germany really was militarily. Dunkirk is a good example of this.
This time around Russia is a country with an economy smaller than California. America dwarfs it in miliary spending and both sides have a vast nuclear arsenal. This isn't some type of 1939 rerun.
