The only way to end the war in 24 hours is to force both sides to accept the current lines of control as permanent.
I agree...This could have ended months ago. 8 million Ukies have left home...20% of the population and everything is destroyed.
All Putin needs to hear is the magic words:
“The US no longer supports perverts.”
Then they will know there is a deal to be done.
“The only way to end the war in 24 hours is to force both sides to accept the current lines of control as permanent.”
So if I rob your house and you settle with me how much of your stuff do I get to keep?
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 Tell Zelensky if he does not agree all support will be withdrawn and Russia will have all of the Ukraine.
