OHH I THOUGHT HE’S THERE TO FIGHT OFF NAZI, NOT TAKING LAND.
I somehow thought this was a Battlefield DLC announcement
At this rate, he’s gonna be out there all by himself.
This is what Europe should propose to Putin. Russia will withdraw from all land it seized from Ukraine after the 2022 invasion. NATO would be dissolved and replaced with a European alliance. Ukraine and Canada would be permitted to join but not the US. All sanctions against Russia will be lifted. Russia will not be required to pay reparations. If Putin doesn’t accept the proposal, the UK and France would send troops to Ukraine.
Why should Russia not be required to pay reparations?
That sounds.. too forgiving given what they’ve done.
A proposal has to be offered that would entice Putin to accept. The killing has gone on too long. It has to stop.
Putin can stop the war any time he likes.
If there are no consequences for Russias actions, what would stop them from pulling back, rebuilding, and then attacking again?
Nope, that’s being too nice to Russia. They definitely need to pay massive reparations to Ukraine.
Putin won’t agree to reparations. A proposal has to be offered that Putin could accept.
It’s not just about Putin. It’s also about the precedent you create by letting Russia go Scot-free.
What’s going to stop him from rebuilding his army and doing it again if there are no consequences? What message does it convey to other bad actors?
We don’t force enough bad actors to pay reparations. And war criminals get off scot free as long as they’re from a certain set of nations.
I also agree 100%, and this post is not meant to be a whataboutism. Just because some criminals get away with it doesn’t mean others should.
That precedent has already been set decades ago, unfortunately. We do need to address that one too, but that is going to be a much harder challenge.
But in the meantime, let’s not set any new ones. The world is in a poor enough state as it is.
