      Yeah, if only they’d just surrendered to Putin immediately he wouldn’t have had to massacre so many of them in this way. He could have done it quietly and out of sight, where it wouldn’t bother us.

        You and 21 others think negotiation means to surrender.

        I hope your education wasn’t expensive.

          Minsk 1 and 2; can’t negotiate with someone who doesn’t know the meaning of good faith.

          You seem to think that (1) there is something legitimate to negotiate and (2) Putin can be taken at his word.

          Putin already annexed Crimea in 2014, breaking one Russian promise to uphold the territorial integrity of Ukraine. This invasion marks a second time Russia proved they can’t be trusted. Why would anybody trust them a third time?

      The only negotiation should be the timeframe when Russia leaves and goes home.

      The only timeline that should be accepted is “immediately”.

      Yes so they could all become Putin’s slave army after he took the rest of Ukraine without fear of Western aid and set his sights on the Baltics

      The really grim thing about this ignorant comment is that everyone did

      Russia has Crimea because they did negotiate last time. They surrendered land for peace. And that’s why it isn’t happening again

      You mean just like how all the Jews of Europe just “got out” as the Nazis rolled over country after country?

      Because that sort of thing is so easy…

      If you are a man you are not allowed to leave. There are people who will promise to smuggle you out for many tens of thousands of dollars, but there’s no guarantee they will succeed at doing it, or even seriously try.
