I was talking to someone recently, who was like “yeah we’ll have a ceasefire, raise NATO spending to 3% and rearm ukraine in the meantime.” I was fucking incredulous to hear this in real life…
Do you really think the Russians would accept a ceasefire that allows for that under the circumstances? AFTER MINSK???
Quite apart from the fact that if you are arguing (or more likely pretending to argue) from the ukrainian interest, it is completely incoherent. Such a strategy spells doom for ukraine
I’ve seen this attitude as well, and it seems to be the thinking that most western leaders have now adapted. And it’s just so surreal to not even consider things from the Russian perspective here. The west got so used to dictating terms to the rest of the world, that it’s now inconceivable for people here that a country cannot be dictated to.
