Diplomacy is the only way to end this war. I’m tired of hearing that Putin won’t negotiate. It might be true, but the same people are outraged when Scholz tries to call him. Again, how do you think this war can end otherwise? 2/2

Because Scholz, Biden and Macron repeatedly tried to negotiate with Putin, both, before he raided Ukraine and afterwards with no results at all. He isn't even considering Germany a serious negotiation partner (he might be right on that one). 1/2
And Putin sure as hell wont agree to a ceasefire if it means what remains of Ukraine joins the NATO. In fact he stated NATO membership of Ukraine is a red line. so what is your strategy if he wont make concessions or if just isn't open for negotiation as has been the case for the last 3 years? 2/2
I agree that Ukraine joining NATO is ambitious, but a ceasefire deal should appeal to Russia, and avoiding constant bombardment is in Kyiv’s interest too. What alternative do you see especially with Trump in the White House?
Its not ambitious its delusional. A ceasefire without NATO membership would be pointless though. Best alternative would have been full-hearted support of Ukraine when they stood a real chance. This war is very expensive for Putin. economy, demography, reputation all went down the shitter.1/2
If a ceasefire without NATO membership is pointless, but NATO membership is “delusional,” doesn’t that mean this war will never end? A ceasefire is never pointless, even a one-week ceasefire could save thousands of lives. How is that pointless?
I mean that without guarantees Putin will break a ceasefire as soon as it fits him. Everything you propose boils down to trusting that Putin negotiates. I don't have any intel supporting this hope. And in case he doesn't, what is your plan B?
Catalyzing this decline to actually force Putin to negotiate is the best option imo. But we are failing at that and now we have to hope that Putin is willing to negotiate and that Trump will manage to get a fair deal for Ukraine. But as long as Putin is unwilling I say give Ukraine everything. 2/2
