If negotiated properly this could stop Putin’s march and safeguard many countries. If that happens Russia can be pulled into the fold of sane nations - as with Japan and Germany after World War II. Tell Putin, “here’s the path to peace, sanity, and having a wealthy country”...
Yeah, it’s a dream but it’d be better having Russia with us or neutral - if we have to take on Iran/China....
After they give up their nukes.
Take a look at a picture of Putin.
He is perfectly comfortable handing out death.
Except it can’t be negotiated properly. At the core the argument is that Putin wants to dictate what Ukraine does (constitutionally forbidden from western alliances) and Ukraine wants to be their own country. There’s really nothing to negotiate. Either Putin loses and learns the limits of his power, or he wins and he’ll keep rolling.
