    You only negotiate with people you have complete trust in? Do you also live in a bubble?

    That's NOT how international diplomacy has ever worked...
    You haven’t considered that everyone on this forum knows they smell a rat.

    Pootin is running out of Canon fodder

    Russians tried to recruit in Cuba and got kicked out

    Nepal has arrested Russian recruiters

    Lending Credence to the report that Putin is confiscating Russian's passports

    Ukraine controls almost all of Crimea now

    How has international diplomacy worked with Putin?

    Give some examples so we know exactly how you know international diplomacy works.
    The Korean Armistice Agreement that stopped the fighting in the Korean War is violated to various degrees just about all the time. You're not going to get anything that's perfect with Russia either. The point is to at least try to bring an end to major hostilities through talks, which should be possible given that this is in both sides' interest to do so. It's not about "trust" -- it's about "interests".

    Taking back Crimea and the land bridge that Putin wanted is simply not realistic. But I guess Zelensky still thinks this is possible so the fighting continues.

    Korean armistice is enforced by USA and 30000 US soldiers. Korean border length is also only a tenth of Russia-Ukraine border and much more defensible. USA committing a quarter million US soldier to defense and protection of Ukraine is certainly one option, but you will have to increase the US defense budget significantly for it to work.

    You didn't answer the question.

    One can only conclude you don't know how international diplomacy works with Putin.

    How it started: "for as long as it takes"

    How it's going: "as long as we can"








    Biden says US will support Ukraine 'as long as we can' amid GOP standoff, a change from 'as long as it takes'

    It's a vacation spot for American GI's. Sure.

    We cover Korean's health coverage like we do the Nazi's over in Ukraine.
