:melon-musk: 's take is still the vague galaxy brained kind of take you'd expect from him, but it sure brought out the :LIB: in one of the few subreddits I was still managing to enjoy.

    like it is a bit of capitulating on the ukraine side but like russia would have to accept the risk of losing their new annexed regions on the election thing so i feel it is fair enough like you are not ending this war without concessions anyway unless someone actually wins, which takes a long time and an incredible ammount of human misery and that is just bad vibes all around, and i am nothing if not a vibe based thinker

      Yeah, if there were genuine elections, I'm not sure if any of the 4 regions would 100% join. Two have been divided for the past 8 years, and the other two were conquered this year.

        like people are wondering how do you convince ukraine, not even considering how WILD it would be for russia to accept losing at least 2 of those, i feel the more recent ones would be real likely to just go back, the other 2 are a bit harder to tell, but THEY REALLY WANT CRIMEA and i think they would actually choose that over the ukrainian land they took especially if this deal makes it is an official part of russia and ukraine or the us will not annoy them over it

          That's kinda why I've thought basically since the beginning at least just let Russia have Crimea
