    I don't even know what this means because it has no grounding in reality.

    They can't negotiate peace because they are in a war? How is it possible to resolve this conflict in any realistic way if thats the criteria?

      Ideally by standing down. Again, they arent in their own nation.

      Lets change perspectives here. Lets go back in time to the British colonialist and the native Americans. Are the natives supposed to just do nothing?

      The victims ought not be expected to let the perpetrators continue to harm them

        Your way of conceptializing this is so childlike as to be useless.

        I want the war in Ukraine to end. I want them to negotiate the best and most obvious solution to this conflict for the parties involved. I want the war to end because then people will not be getting killed.

        You want NATO to keep supporting Ukraine, to keep Ukraine away from negotiating. You want this, because... i don't know why.

          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.

            So in your mind they should not negotiate and fight to the last Ukrainian because your conception of geopolitics is a home invasion?

              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.

                  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.

                    There was an ethnic cleansing attempt going on prior to the Russuan invasion. The Azov battalion was shelling ethnic Russians (who make up the majority of people in the Dnbas and Eastern Ukraine)in the Donbas for the last 8 years.

            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.
