Land deal?

Russia has never asked for a land deal. They started the war and their goal has always been the total destruction of Ukraine and the enslavement of the people.

Where they’ve pulled back from occupied areas they’ve mass civilian graves and bodies with signs of torture.

Go read the article on the Bucha massacre and then the see also.

Sometimes the only way to deal with the boogeyman is to accept they are the boogeyman because of their pattern of behaviour.

Are you even aware of what has been going on in Ukraine for the last 4 years, and in Crimea for the last 12?

Sure! You’re more than welcome to give up Canada to Russia to protect the people in Ukraine.

No? Don’t want to trade land suddenly?

> Wouldn't walking away from your house, maybe with a reparations package, be better than it being blown up by drones and your family killed?

Please explain your analogy. Everyone should give up their property whenever they are threatened? For free, or whatever the aggressor chooses to give them?

> I don't think we need to go to war. We need to find a way to deal with Russia with humanity instead of treating them like some boomer-era cold war bogeyman.

What does that mean? How would you deal with them with humanity? Just give up your country when they invade?

> We need to find a way to deal with Russia with humanity instead of treating them like some boomer-era cold war bogeyman.

We tried that in the 90s. Didn't work. Made things worse, really.

Appeasement does not work. It emboldens fascist dictators.

Agree completely.

But part of that would be getting Russia to stop attempting to become a cold-war boogeyman, and stop behaving like a cold-war boogeyman.

Russia also signed that treaty, and is also blatantly breaking it.
