    So… the grade school bully (with a reputation for lying) is promising he’ll only stop punching your friend IF you close your eyes and put your hands behind your back. Hmm.

    And because of what is happening in Ukraine the Baltic states (Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia) won’t want to lose their NATO membership. So it’s just again an empty demand.

    How would that even work? Would Estonia have to station its own (NATO) forces in Finland?

    Would Lithuania and Latvia have to do basic training in Poland?

    It’s obviously not serious.

    So Russia, and Russia alone, wants to continue the war. Not exactly new information but gotcha. I guess Putin has like 3-4 years to go until Democrats win pretty much everything in USA and the west is then back to normalcy.

    But hey, I guess the bright side is that he might die extremely painfully before even that.

    In the meanwhile, I think the west should be putting significant resources into instigating a revolution in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Communist, liberal, centrist, conservatist, I don’t care. Just split up that shit. And this time when Russian state breaks up, don’t let them keep their earlier status in UN and give them a similar deal regarding nuclear weapons as Ukraine was given.

        Well yeah ok. I think we can hope for a relative diminishment of utter fucking insanity.

    We should give Russia some of its own medicine. We move out, promise to not move back in, then later on break that promise.

    It’s the only language they understand.

      No no no. Promise to move out, don’t move out, blame Putin for not ending the war in Ukraine because you were totally going to move out.

      I doubt countries sharing a border with Ukraine or Russia would want to take that risk, but let’s ses how these countries reply, if they even bother to.
