Things are going to get ugly. Wish they would have reached a truce early on.
- jwr 4y agoA truce? This was an unprovoked invasion of a sovereign country by another nation, with deliberate targeting of civilian population.
- sudden_dystopia 4y agoBetter than billions dying in thermo nuclear war cuz that’s where this seems to be heading.
- Zigurd 4y agoThe intermediate steps to where you think this is going would be invasions of the Baltics, other FSU nations, Poland, and Finland. The safest way forward is for Russia to be comprehensively defeated in Ukraine.
- tenebrisalietum 4y agoIf Russia takes Finland what happens to Linux?
- luckylion 4y agoThey would in either case. Give Russia what it wants in Ukraine and it will tell you what parts of Poland it considers theirs and threaten nuclear war as the alternative. The only good news: it'll stop once it reaches its eastern border. You cannot appease a fascist state.

- Traubenfuchs 4y agoThere is this famous tweet that I am unable to find, that essentially says: "If you tell Ukraine to just surrender the parts Russia want, please point to the parts of your country you would surrender if one of your neighboring states attacked your country."
- SamoyedFurFluff 4y agoWe’ve been trying to get rid of Florida since bugs bunny!
- lawgimenez 4y agoRussia will be dealing with separatists attacks and assassinations for several decades on the occupied territories. For me this is one of the reasons for this new partial mobilization.
- Terretta 4y ago> please point to the parts of your country you would surrender if one of your neighboring states attacked your country Oh, that's fun. Just imagine if Florida was ceded to Cuba.

- LanceH 4y agoMississippi and parts of California.
- vkou 4y agoI think a fair number of people who live in countries divided among factional and/or ethnic lines would actually welcome certain undesirable parts of them splitting off. I know I would cry crocodile tears over Florida ending up as part of Cuba. Or Mexico. They can take Kentucky, too. The problem here is that the war doesn't seem to be about Donbas.
- throwaway290 4y agoYes. And if you tell Ukrainian men and women to fight to their deaths, ask yourself if you would sacrifice own life (or your children's).
- lawn 4y agoI wish they didn't attack Ukraine at all. A truce would've just given Russia what they wanted, and given them more time to mount the next and inevitable attack.
- ClumsyPilot 4y agoFor every bullet produced and soldier trained by Russia, the west can train 20, and they could be in Ukraine if needed. 'next attack' would be an even bigger disaster
- lawn 4y agoThis is true, but then we'd leave the people in occupied territories to the Russians, and with the amount of mass graves and torture victims we continually discover that's probably as good as a death sentence.
- warinukraine 4y agoNo, no truce. A truce can only happen when Russia leaves Ukraine and pays restitution. Otherwise, you'd be creating an incentive for countries to invade smaller countries and then ask for a truce when they're losing.
- layer8 4y agoYou mean after the illegal annexation of the Crimea in 2014?
