    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.

    Nothing surprising here. Putin can’t shutdown his wartime economy without crashing the state, and himself. Expect more and more of these ridiculous headlines and moving of goalposts.

    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.

    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.
