    I find it completely unreasonable to request a peace talk whilst in a neighboring sovereign nation invading. That's lunacy to think Ukrainians are being the unreasonable ones here in regards to a peace talk.

                For it to justify Russia invading Ukraine, it must have been something like Ukraine infringing on Russia's sovereignty, right?

                    Of course I do, I have family in Ukraine. I'd love to know how 2014 infringed on Russia's sovereignty, though, since that's the only way I could see it remotely justifying what Russia is doing today.

      You have a very funny idea about the realities of war. By your logic most could never end. Wars are resolved through diplomacy or full collapse and loss. Your sociopathic ideas about what is "reasonable" devalues the lives and well-being of Ukrainians living through war.

      This is liberal "moral victory" nonsense that no serious person believes.

      That's lunacy to think Ukrainians are being the unreasonable ones here in regards to a peace talk.

      Thank you for conceding my point and implicitly retracting the claim I replied to.

      When in the history of ever did a nation willingly withdraw from its enemy before even holding peace talks?

      Did the US withdraw from Mexico before they started hashing out Guadalupe Hidalgo?

      Did Germany withdraw from Russia before negotiating Brest-Litovsk?

      Even the 'we do not negotiate with terrorists' US negotiated with the Taliban before leaving Afghanistan.

      It’s a deal, and withdrawal is one of the terms. You don’t do it before the deal has been made. That gives up all leverage.

      And Ukraine has already demanded they get absolutely everything, including Crimea. If you want a deal to be everything you want and nothing you don’t, you need an unconditional surrender, not peace talks. Good luck getting Ukrainian tanks into Moscow.
