Can you really not imagine an alternative?
I can’t believe that my point was proven in just a couple of days: https://www.rferl.org/a/trump-congress-ukraine-russia-war-tariffs-speech/33336730.html
Your point hasn’t been proven. OPs point was that Putin promises can’t be trusted. And without US putting force behind that promise, Ukraine is wise to be worried about such a deal.
Just because one alternative realized doesn’t mean there weren’t other options, better or worse.
Edit: plus, a peace deal is far from done, regardless which side you root for.
I see plenty of alternatives, just not one in which people stop dying immediately.
History teaches us that Russia cease fire agreements mean that fewer die immediately but that lasts a far shorter time than you hope for. In the end, even more people die than before when Russia resumes their aggression.
This is not a prediction or an opinion. That are literally dozens of historical events to draw this information from.
According to what you’re saying, the only solution is NATO troops fighting in Ukraine because we cannot trust Russia in any way, shape or form.
When are you willing to enroll to go to the front?
You have textbook RT talking points. It's so fucking obvious you're a russian asset at the very keast
Yeah bro, everyone who doesn’t have your specific world view is a russian asset. What, are you 12?
No. People who repeat Kremlin talking points are Russian bots. I'm still waiting for your solution. That's more evidence to you bottyness. You're just trying to stir the pot while pretending to care
The solution is peace. But you and our leaders don’t want it because it means compromise and it means that Putin also gets something (surprise, that’s how peace works ✨)
Call me names all you want, it doesn’t make your argument better, it just makes you look like an infant.
There is no peace in which Ukrainian land is occupied by Russia. There is no peace if we don't stand up to Putinnow. He'll just start the war again in the future. You want a false peace now. I want peace long term.
I rest my case, looks like Zelensky finally woke up and realized that there are indeed no alternatives: https://www.rferl.org/a/trump-congress-ukraine-russia-war-tariffs-speech/33336730.html
Then when can you enroll to go to the front?
Oh wait… you want OTHER people to stand up to Putin and die while you sit comfortably on your sofa telling people that peace and compromise is not an option.
