    The only reason I opened the article, “whatchu mean fear of peace talks?!”

    Like I get it, Ukraine shouldn’t capitulate. But ending the bloodshed is a good thing, surely.

      To what end though? Freeze the border where it is now and give Russia another few years to build up force for round 3?

        I suppose that’s up to Ukraine, right? They’re the ones fighting so it makes sense for them to decide what terms they’d be willing to accept.

      The issue is that we’ve already tried the whole peace thing before. Remember the Budapest Memorandum? The Minsk Protocol & Minsk II? The Partition & Friendship Treaties?

      I feel like the heart of the issue is that Russia doesn’t want peace. If it did, we would not be here in the first place.
