Yet, some European leaders seem to be leaning towards this unsustainable position. Eating tomorrow's bread today. Reaching a false peace today may tranquilize old leaders but will bring future society into a war.

Yep

Letting Russia control the south bank of Kherson apart from abandoning people would be a strategic disaster for Ukraine. it would allow Russia to blockade every port in Ukraine at will.

Putin won't stop until he is stopped.

Goes without saying. Why we still have to repeat outselves?

One cannot impose neutrality on a sovereign state under genocidal attack and occupation
Those words don’t compute

liebchen59.bsky.social•97 days ago

What makes anyone think that Russia would attack Ukraine again if Ukraine were neutral.

They did not attack Ukraine for thirty years, even when Ukraine was *more* vulnerable than in 2022.

Agree.

jiimwilliamson.bsky.social•98 days ago

I agree with everything in the article, but still think there is diplomatic room between NATO membership and a demilitarized and weakened form of neutrality. A peace agreement that allows Ukraine to remain strong, possibly involving the presence of European troops, may be the best outcome available.

jiimwilliamson.bsky.social•98 days ago

One factor to consider is that Putin is old and won’t be around forever. Is time on Russia’s side or Ukraine’s side?

candac19.bsky.social•98 days ago

Or is Putin keeping the hawks at bay, be careful what you wish for.

svantevid.bsky.social•98 days ago

Which hawks? There will be serious infighting once Mad Vlad is gone, and more than one candidate for the throne found dead of acute lead poisoning.

Like after Stalin.

candac19.bsky.social•92 days ago

"Mad Vlad" your opinion is discarded.

svantevid.bsky.social•92 days ago

Someone who is on Putin's side doesn't get to play an arbiter, as his opinion is deeply flawed.

Ukraine is not neutral. Ukraine is active part under attack, with strong national will to be positioned as democratic western liberal nation. They bravely shield whole Europe and civilized world so we can taxi peacefully.

If Ukraine falls the Baltic and Poland and a few Stans are on the chopping block for sure.

This is our war too and yet we cowardly let 🇺🇦 fight it alone 🤯

#RussiaIsATerroristState committing a full-scale genocide in plain sight.
It is our duty towards Humanity to help 🇺🇦 win the war.
Whatever victory takes, right now 🔥

Exactly. Ukraine was neutral from 1991. That did not pan out well. Constant Russian meddling & ultimately the maidan ousting of the Kremlin's obscenely corrupt Yanukovich. President Yushchenko cancelled the Black Sea fleet lease in Sevastopol. Guess who renewed it ?

Sovereignty of both 🇺🇦 & 🇮🇱 attacked, no questions asked ✍🏽 Biden Harris admin gives ammo & resources to both affected countries. Then, change of guard with a man baby at the helm of incoming govt & hypocrisy starts. Not one word on 🇮🇱 & it’s ammo but 🇺🇦 fighting another superpower faces a choice🤔

captain-armetis747.bsky.social•98 days ago

All the graft done to take 🇷🇺head on & weaken it’s diplomatic economical & military footprint along with 600k plus casualties taken seems literally for nothing🤦🏽‍♂️Depravity of unimaginable magnitude, not forgetting Novichok was used in Europe & 🇬🇧 by 🇷🇺

captain-armetis747.bsky.social•98 days ago

🇨🇦 stands strong with 🇺🇦 reason why they want PM Trudeau out ✍🏽
