    You know who has total power to end this war? Putin. Just get the fuck out of Ukraine and it’s over.

    There’s really nothing to negotiate.

      They literally were negotiating at the start of the war for this exact outcome: Russia pulls out and Ukraine maintains neutrality.

      Johnson threw a wrench in those plans.

        Sorry what? You’re blaming Boris Johnson for this now?

        One person has the power to put an end to this: the person who started it. Putin.

          I’ve seen this Boris Johnson argument several times on here and never once seen anything even remotely approaching a convincing explanation of what leverage Boris ever had to do this. Like a deal for a white peace with Russia was on the table and Boris somehow twisted Zelenskyy’s arm into fighting by threatening to not send weapons that wouldn’t be necessary if there was peace anyway?

            It’s an idiotic straw man to claim Johnson had some personal leverage over Ukraine. What’s actually being said is that Bojo was delivering the message from NATO to Ukraine that if they accepted the deal then NATO would not act as their guarantor and they’d be left on their own.

        Ukraine was never going to abort neutrality lol. Being a NATO member does not affect neutrality.

        Also remember the Budapest Memorandum? Ukraine literally gave up nuclear weapons as instructed by Russia, for the promise that was broken.

        I’d say the wrench was thrown by someone else. Or, rather, someone hit their own head by a wrench good enough to lose all mind.

        Putin’s “solution” has been to give him what he wants to stop his invasion. This is how bullies, terrorists, extortionists and facists “solve” problems they create. If you agree with that solution then you’re one or all of those too.

          If you’re going to misuse the term “fascist”, at least fuckin spell it correctly. Jesus, and this is supposed to be a representative of the ‘greatest empire on earth’ but ain’t none of its settlers are literate.

            Nothing of what you said is relevant to the situation in Ukraine.

            I swear Putin removed are THE most brainwashed “model” citizens that live in dictatorships, parrot the same state/military propaganda and what-about everything they do onto their “enemy” countries.
