Nice try. Last I saw Ukraine hadn't invaded anyone so perhaps drop the obtuse act.

I take it our resident Kremlin fan boy is trying to convince anyone who'll listen that Ukraine is evil for defending itself and anyone who supports them is a war criminal, while Putin has a golden nob or some shit?

The easy solution to this war is for Russia to GTFO of there. It's not that difficult, but that could be the end of Vlad and his quest to reinstate the soviet empire, so I guess it won't happen.

And that’s what I think should happen too ideally, but the alternative you all want, to fight, means millions dying, so find a peace settlement and compromise.

Richmac you seem to have invented that I’m on the side of Russia. I don’t automatically support the west, huge difference

Whatever happens I seriously doubt the end result will be either fair or just, and that is why many people support the Ukraine.

They are being brutalised by a megalomaniac, and any settlement which gives him a reward for murder, rape and destruction will embolden him to do the same again.

100% JB. It takes absolutely no brains to figure that out, we should have been in a position to talk and this in 2014 after Putin stole Crimea, but instead the west chose to appease and avoid conflict and oh, look what happened.

Fucking geniuses.

It’s easy to be brave when you’re out of range I suppose

Unnecessary. A feeling for natural justice is all you need. Politicising it by going back to Bush, Blair and the likes makes pretty leftist debating points but its rarified self indulgence won't help the Ukrainians who are being maimed, murdered, raped and abducted on a daily basis. The Russian boys neither.

Our first hopes should be that their suffering ends quickly, and, sad to say, capitulating to Putin won't achieve that.
