Answer this: how many more Ukrainians have to die in Russia's genocidal war lengthened by decreased political support for delivering sufficient weapons for Ukraine to win for you to change your evidence-free opinion?
Since I've studied Russian history since 1972, lived in and been married in the Russian language since 2005 and been to Russia four times, I can certainly read the Russian mind far better than you can. If this counts for nothing, then you're engaging in the populist Brexiteer Michael Gove's anti-intellectual "people are tired of experts" and Trumpster reality denial.
Russia's mind is an open book and follows centuries old Rules of Russian History you refuse to see:
Alexander Dugin: "kill! kill! kill! Ukrainians."
Timofey Sergeytsev's genocidal Ria Novosti rants.
Medvedev's genocidal erase Ukraine rants.
Lavrov's Jewish Nazi rant about Zelenskiy.
An estimated 87000 dead in Mariupol alone, bringing Russia's Aleppo operation to Europe. https://euromaidanpress.com/2022/08/30/87000-killed-civilians-documented-in-occupied-mariupol-volunteer/
Mass torture in filtration camps and 300000 Ukrainian children deported to Russia in a repeat of the 1930s' genocidal planned famine and purges that's the reason 3m Ukrainians live in Vladivostok, Khabarovsk, Magadan and the rest of Russia's far east.
You responded to none of my questionss about whether your deescalation formula would apply to abrogating NATO's Article 5 applying to the Baltic States. Would your previously expressed preference for surrender over war also apply to where I live in Latvia? I'd appreciate a specific reply.
I advocate a policy of no boots on the ground weapons and targeting intelligence support for Ukraine's final decolonization war for survival and independence. This advocacy is based on five centuries of Russian empire-building through genocidal conquest.
You've repeatedly written in favor of an ahistorical and abstract concept of one way deescalation by appeasement that's nothing more than the war with dishonor of Neville Chamberlain 2.0.
