The proposal would recognize that while Russia cannot continue to push westward, the project for Euro-Atlantic expansion has also run out of steam. It would see the establishment of deconfliction channels, neutral zones, and lines of control that, taken together, would formalize something that resembles spheres of influence, even without naming them as such.

If there was a modicum of truth to the Russian narrative then Russia wouldn’t have parked nukes and several hundred thousand troops in Belarus while constantly talking about creating a unified state... And then having the brass neck to complain about not being able to veto NATO exercises inside NATO countries.

Russia has already pushed its nukes all the way to the NATO borders and pointed those nukes at European cities. Even now, no European nukes are programmed to fire at Russia. Russia isn’t being threatened; Russia is feeling threatened because Putin’s whipping up a fantasy.

Europe has not threatened to invade Russia since Uncle Joe and Molotov’s deal with Hitler / Rippentropp fell through. Putin conveniently forgets that without the UK and USA hitting the Nazis from the west, Stalingrad and Moscow would’ve fallen.

Europe has had absolutely zero interest in invading Russia for over eighty years. For my entire lifetime - and I’m in my fifties now - the Iron Curtain only ever existed at the insistence of the USSR to stop desperate Soviet citizens seeking a better life in the west; its existence had bugger all to do with a nonexistent ambition in the West to occupy Russia.

Putin’s fantasies about US NATO aggression are because the Able Archer 1983 near miss still live rent free in his retard taxi driver head, but he doesn’t acknowledge it was Soviet paranoia and Soviet refusal to listen to anything other than its own propaganda that nearly started a nuclear war. They were told repeatedly that Able Archer was just an exercise; the Party apparatchiks just didn’t want to believe it and the commanding officers were not allowed to think it.

And Putin’s solution to everything is to party like it’s 1983.

So what if Ukraine was being an EU NATO partner for peace? SO WAS RUSSIA!!!

(Putin always leaves that bit out.)

The USSR did that at the height of the Cold War.

We effectively did that 200 years ago with the Monroe Doctrine.
