        Yeah, he would. There are lots of people who would rather bend over for Russia than think for one second. Putin has zero love for America and actively attacks our infrastructure and companies by sponsoring hackers. If you support Russia you are a traitor or an idiot.

                The same way anyone starts negotiating with anyone: open a dialogue and exchange demands, and then work to make concessions and compromises. They won’t do that, though, because then the infinite money spigot from the US will shut off because America doesn’t want this war to ever end.

                  You tell me where you live, I’ll break into your house and steal half your stuff.

                  Instead of fighting back or calling the police, we can negotiate so I can have half your stuff. Sound good?

                    I dunno, do you have nuclear weapons that could cause the apocalypse?

                    Countries aren’t people. The scale the work on is much greater.

                    For the sake of peace, yes, I think they should be willing to make concessions. That’s how negotiations work.

                    If you refuse to offer anything you aren’t really negotiating. You’re just making demands.

                    Yes because they cannot win on the battlefield and have lost an enormous amount of lives. Just because Russia is adversary to the US does not mean we should send 100,000’s of young people to the grave. (Meanwhile safe over in the states we wave Ukrainian flags and call them heroes as we leave them dead or mangled)

                    So yes reaching a compromise even if Russia was the aggressor is in the best interest of the people left in Ukraine.

                    Would you rather use our weaponry and intelligence and money to prolong this war for 10 years … just to have the same outcome but 20x the number of casualties?

                  I doubt Ukraine will demand anything less than Russia pulling out of previous held lands. Russia will doubtless demand all lands it currently occupies (and maybe even ones it claims but does not occupy). Russia’s demand could be cast as peace, though really it involves giving a massive portion of Ukraine to Russia. And if you’re thinking that might be temporary… well, just ask Finland, which lost 9% of its territory to a peace agreement in the Winter War after the Soviet Union invaded them.

                By involving the same country that was responsible for setting up the scenario where it was invaded, and having that country also not go out of its way to cancel the peace talks that were going on, because they threatened its imperialist hegemony in the region.

          Oh yeah cuz Putin has just seemed so open to peace, dipshit… it’s not like it hasn’t been tried about countless times. He doesn’t want peace, he just wants everything handed to him with zero consequence

              What nuclear weapons? The fuel got sold for vodka money and the tritium has decayed away to uselessness with Russia giving up on producing more

                If that were true, do you think America and its allies could resist total war? They’d just bomb the whole country to ashes.

        I personally dont give a fuck about Ukraine so yes. I give as much of a fuck for Ukraine as much as I give a fuck about whats going on in Sudan or Sri Lanka.

        I. Dont. Care.

        Those hundreds of billions of dollars are given to the banks to perpetuate this stupid war.
