    I’m saying the Ukrainians should not be expected to negotiate, given that it is their land being invaded. If Putin doesn’t like that, he can pound sand and leave.

    If someone invades your house, you wouldn’t just given them a room and bath to have them clam down.

        I’m saying Ukraine should take their aid and push Russia back, as they are doing quite well. Russia isn’t doing too hot there right now.

          A couple points:

          Ukraine is not doing well even with the combined weight of NATO behind them, despite what cope you might have read on reddit-logo

          Even if Russia did suddenly pack it up and leave, there would be an immediate attempted cleansing of ethnic Russians or presumed Russian “collaborators” (anyone they don’t like).

            If there was an ethnic cleansing attempt of any kind, I would promote the greatest of sanctions against them. I dislike bullies.

            This is an example of you justifying Russia’s actions.

      If Putin doesn’t like that, he can pound sand and leave.

      Or he can keep grinding Ukrainians that are poisoning their own soil with mines, cluster ammo and depleted uranium because I assure you Ukraine isn’t winning this and even their NATO backers are announcing it now that the “spring counter-offensive” has failed.

      I sure am glad that libs are aware that international relations are complex issues that cannot be boiled down to household analogies. It sure would be frustrating if they tried to make this into some simple black/white scenario with good guys and bad guys separated from material reality and historical context
