Man, you are practically illiterate. That isn’t what I said.Do you seriously not understand what a fucking stupid argument that is? "OMG, he won't respect a ceasefire, and we could end up in the same place in a few years, so let's just keep getting people killed the whole time". Derp.
You could allow Ukraine into NATO? That seems to be the best deterrent to Russian hostility. All the Baltic States are in NATO and they’ve been spared.
The prior “peace deals” that Russia put forward in Turkey required Ukraine to really minimize its militarization and Russia kept all stolen ground. Anyone with a functioning brain can understand why it’s bullshit.
If anyone is curious about the actual details here it is:
- ~57% cut in Ukrainian troop levels over January 2022 levels (from ~195k down to 85k).
- The piece doesn't say if the 85k would include reservists; if it did, than that would be an even more laughable demand, since total combined active duty and reservist forces in January 2022 were close to 1.1 million, going down to 85k would mean an over 90% reduction
- ~55% cut in Ukrainian artillery below pre-war levels (from ~1150 down to 519 pieces)
- ~62% cut in Ukrainian tanks below pre-war levels (from ~900 down to 342)
- Complete ban on any Ukrainian missile with a range over 40 kilometers
- Complete ban on any imported weaponry in Ukraine
- Every guarantor state (US, UK, France, China, Russia) required to pull out of all treaties and international agreements that allowed arms sales to Ukraine, unless those sales went to Crimea
- All Ukrainian claims against Russia at the International Criminal Court dropped
