It was always going to end this way unless we restored neutrality & resolved the issue of security competition in Europe (NATO expansion): - Between 2004-2014 I argued against dragging Ukraine into NATO against the will of Ukrainians & threatening Russian security - In 2013/2014, I argued against toppling the Ukrainian government and ending its neutrality - Between 2014-2022, I argued for implementing the Minsk agreement and restoring neutrality - After 2022 I argued for peace negotiations based on permanent neutrality & ending NATO expansionism - The people who insisted they were "pro-Ukrainian" set the country on a certain path to war. The people who warned that converting Ukraine into a frontline against Russia would destroy the country were denounced as Putinists. - If we now recognise that NATO/Ukraine has lost the war and more men & territory will be lost every day - what is our excuse for not starting negotiations and save what is left of Ukraine? There is no way to turn the tide! - The people who provoked the war, sabotaged the peace agreements, and suspended diplomacy for 2 years should stop their empty moral posturing and claim some ownership for this horrific war
@Glenn_Diesen @GeromanAT At least there are some people today on the side of "reason" still trying to explain and do what they could to end this madness for more than 20year...
