    Fool me once, shame on me, fool me 20 times and I should sign away half my country’s mineral wealth for no guarantees and no gains…

            Your point hasn’t been proven. OPs point was that Putin promises can’t be trusted. And without US putting force behind that promise, Ukraine is wise to be worried about such a deal.

            Just because one alternative realized doesn’t mean there weren’t other options, better or worse.

            Edit: plus, a peace deal is far from done, regardless which side you root for.

            History teaches us that Russia cease fire agreements mean that fewer die immediately but that lasts a far shorter time than you hope for. In the end, even more people die than before when Russia resumes their aggression.

            This is not a prediction or an opinion. That are literally dozens of historical events to draw this information from.

              According to what you’re saying, the only solution is NATO troops fighting in Ukraine because we cannot trust Russia in any way, shape or form.

              When are you willing to enroll to go to the front?

                    No. People who repeat Kremlin talking points are Russian bots. I’m still waiting for your solution. That’s more evidence to you bottyness. You’re just trying to stir the pot while pretending to care

        Give Ukraine everything they need to kick the Russians off their soil. Tomahawks, F35s, a million artillery shells a week, etc… lift all usage restrictions with the exception of civilian targets and infrastructure. Once every square inch of Ukraine is back in Ukrainian hands full NATO membership and a Marshall like recovery plan.

        Or assassinate Putin. As long as Putin lives Ukraine is under threat.

          That’s unsustainable, brainless and unrealistic, who is going to pay and fight if the war continues for 5 more years, what about 10 more years?

            Russia is importing North Koreans to fight. You think if Ukraine gets unlimited weapons the war will last 5 more years? What day of the 3 day invasion are we on now?

            The only reason the war has lasted this long is because of the drip feeding of weapons. which was probably a ploy to extend the war and make defense contractors more rich. So yeah, end it quickly by giving Ukraine what it needs to win.

            So, what’s your "totally realistic"TM solution?
