    Seems like reasonable demand

    Of course, for fairness sake that would also mean no Russian troops in any russian countries bordering the West

    Russia is not a serious country. The demands are essentially a shitpost. It’s one of the most delusional things I’ve seen in a while.

    Of course, his demands are impossible. That way, he can just point to everyone else and say “see? They’re prolonging the war!“

    I really wish people would stop, acting shocked and surprised when Putin and Trump do shit like this. We have known, for decades, that both of them are insane monsters. Do something!

    so, NATO’s surrender then… as a condition of a cease-fire with Ukraine… which isn’t a NATO member… which Putin invaded ostensibly to prevent it from joining NATO. right…

    sure, I think we can do that. no Western troops, no problem! we’ll just give them each a few dozen hydrogen bombs, and call it even.

      A few dozen hydrogen bombs each? Sir, this is Europe! We won’t have such uncivilised weapons that could be used for discriminatory purposes in our beautiful continent.

      No, the only solution is for every country in the EU, NATO, or bordering Russia to be equipped with a Project Sundial device. It’s the only way to preserve European unity.

        If built and detonated, Sundial would have created a fireball up to 50 kilometers (30 miles) in diameter, instantly igniting everything within 400 kilometers (250 miles) and causing a magnitude 9 earthquake. It was thought that the explosion would lead to an apocalyptic nuclear winter, drastically lowering global temperatures and contaminating water sources, resulting in mass fatalities.

        If detonated at an altitude of 28 miles (45 km) the Sundial device could ignite fires across an area the size of France.

        The fuck is wrong with us?

    So Russia wants vassal states of everyone on their border. Just fucking try it with Finland. Go on, it will be funny.

        All the Eastern Europeans know that Russia is not to be trusted. There is a reason all of them pushed so hard to join NATO.

          Go speak with real people, everyone I know is terrified of immigrants and want to vote for the furthest right, even pis despite their past scandals with selling visas.

          They’re telling me the ukrainean ““dictator”” is a world wide begger that keeps the war going to get rich. The Polish are clad with propaganda. They will be invaded by the Russians and they will love it

              he’s not wrong. AfD are on the rise in Germany, NF in France, Reform in the UK. Immigration is the core issue for a huge swathe of the european population. whether you believe in russian interferance or not it wont matter when these parties get in, which they will.

              There is some extremely concerning polling in the UK putting reform ahead of all of the other parties including the one currently in government.

              We have some strong european leadership right now in terms of rhetoric, but macron is weak domestically, and Merz had to form a coalition to keep the AfD out

                “Merz had to form a coalition…”

                Dude, ever since the BRD exists ALL governments in Germany were coalitions.
                Every single one of them.
                So, if you dont understand what you talking about about, please read some wiki article or something, and skip the rightwing bullshit propaganda on youtube, ok?

                Immigrants are just a Boogeyman being used as propaganda to prop up Russian-backed conservative political movements.
