What is your opinion on whether or not Russia is justified in its invasion of Ukraine? Because nobody here is talking about lifting the sanctions to please Russia, Russia would have to stop invading Ukraine, which is explicitly not "Appeasement"[0] considering they're the aggressor and the ones creating the conflict. The only way you could see Russia as not the aggressor here is if you think Russia is justified in its invasion of Ukraine...

> Because nobody here is talking about lifting the sanctions to please Russia Right, as the ball is in Russia's court to appease the West to see them lifted, and so what political, material, or territorial concessions are being made by the West to avoid conflict? In reality, Russia is the one who must concede on Ukrainian territory for sanctions to be lifted. > The only way you could see Russia as not the aggressor here is if you think Russia is justified in its invasion of Ukraine... This is a logical fallacy. One's feelings towards the matter have absolutely no relevance to the topic at hand.

    Not really my area of expertise. Any opinions I have would be pure tribalism, which is rather meaningless, and completely off-topic. I came into a discussion about the use of language, not geopolitical relations. What was wrong with the original subject that you feel the need to change it?

        What is it that you thought? Your comment is unclear. That you, deep down, knew your appeal to emotion would fail? Being from the West, my uneducated, tribalist-driven opinion says that Russia is not justified. But, again, not my area of expertise and not a subject I have much interest in. I do, however, enjoy the subject of language which is why I am participating in this conversation about the use of language. Let's stick with that. Bringing this back to the topic at hand, how do you see the West appeasing Russia leading to sanctions being lifted?
