Pretty much. It’s hard to imagine being as delusional as these people are, to think they can simply negotiate a victory out of a military defeat. These were legitimately unacceptable conditions from the beginning that could only be imposed through force of conflict – so these sociopaths rolled the dice… and lost. But now they want to just reset and be given a free roll to try again.
If imperialist war is policy through force, it seems to follow that the policy dies in defeat. Like… at what point are they going to accept the actual outcome?
The stupidest thing is that Russia would never have accepted anything that could have come out of those talks.
NATO or EU troops in Ukraine is a major red line. It’s basically why the war started.
Ukraine doesn’t need “peacekeepers”. Russia has no reason to invade again if Ukraine stays away from the EU and NATO.
