minus-squareEcho Dot@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months ago Russia will withdraw from all land it seized from Ukraine after the 2022 invasion. Yeah because Putin would totally agree to that. NATO would be dissolved and replaced with a European alliance. Ukraine and Canada would be permitted to join but not the US. So that’s exactly the same as NATO currently is under a new name? Can’t see why Russia would see that as a benefit. All sanctions against Russia will be lifted. Russia will not be required to pay reparations. So now Russia has no incentive not to start the war all over again 5 to 10 when they rebuild If Putin doesn’t accept the proposal, the UK and France would send troops to Ukraine. Oh good escalation. That’s exactly what you want out of a peace deal. I think your idea could use some work

The European Alliance would be a formidable deterrent to Russia starting a war in 5 to 10 years. Unless Putin is losing, he won’t agree to a peace deal. The entry of the UK and France into the war would make Putin face the possibility of losing.

There are some in the Russian leadership that are pushing put into towards nuclear weapons, been overly antagonising seems counterproductive.
