So suggesting diplomacy these days is to be an imperialist fascist? wow this is a new level of pro war propaganda.

I've never heard such nonsense - calls for peace is equitable to genocide? You need to get a grip.

I never claimed to be an expert, - even though I do have a Masters degree in International Relations - but it's clear to anyone with half a brain who isn't drunk on the cool aid that if negotiations don't begin soon, things are going to get even worse than they already are and we might reach a point of no return.

Agreeing to a detente with Russia is the best case scenario for everyone involved - what good can possibly come from threatening a nuclear armed power on their own border? Even the Western European leaders agree that's a bad idea.

And yes actually, I have spoken to Ukrainians and Russians alike - both want an end to this war.

Drawing a line in the sand and allowing both sides to cool off and recuperate is the best solution available. If Russia crosses that line again, well, then we'll see what happens, but the current situation is unsustainable.

And btw, there is absolutely no evidence to support claims that Putin has any intentions towards Poland, Alaska or elsewhere - lies and myths abound on both sides.
