How to end the war:
1. Tell Putin and Zelensky that each province in the East and Crimea will have free and fair elections conducted and monitored by truly unbiased neutral observers. Each province can choose to be with the Ukraine or Russia by free choice.
2. Tell Putin if he does not agree to this we will support and arm the Ukraine with anything they need to win and recover all Ukrainian territories including the Crimea.
3. Tell the neocons in the United States to shut up and not get us in a nuclear war.
3. Tell Zelensky if he does not agree all support will be withdrawn and Russia will have all of the Ukraine.
To have free and fair elections you would need to have the Russian army withdraw and be replaced by neutral peacekeepers. I don’t see Putin agreeing to that.
Uh, how do you propose having “fair” elections in areas where entire towns and cities have been reduced to rubble and most of the population has fled?
How are results handled if Kharkiv votes to stay in Ukraine (certain) but Kharkiv Oblast votes to join Russia? (The latter unlikely now, but Russia might flood the areas they control with pro-Russians who of course will have proper documentation. /s)
Who controls and keeps peace in contested areas with mixed populations until new borders are fenced and patrolled, with a demilitarized zone along each border?
Who removes Zelenskyy’s head from the pike for burial?
Great job of destroying NATO, though.
