That’s what any lazy quitter would say. Mind you : They’re trying to get their own little windfall from this, so it’s probably for the best if they quit.
The implication Is that they’ve tried to achieve peace, when all they’ve done is gaslight the victim while supporting their homicidal rapist.
The EU needs to grow some fucking balls and put their collective militaries into Ukraine. Tell Putin that he has X days to withdraw or he will face the full force of the EU. This is the only logical response to him buying out the USA’s political class, implementing a puppet fascist regime, waging decades of psychological warfare and cyber criminal warfare, plus dozens of other acts of war against the world.
Has everyone forgotten that Putin has shot down commercial airliners, severed undersea cables, used chemical weapons and other illegal war-crime weapons in Syria, poisoned political and intelligence operatives abroad, etc? All of this, in addition to invading a sovereign nation? At this point the EU should be actively — openly — trying to assassinate Putin at every opportunity. Why is there not a billion dollar bounty on his head for anyone in Russia to claim?
Russia has the remains of what used to 5k nukes 35 years ago. All with an annual military budget that is less than what the US spends on maintaining their nuclear arsenal and a culture of corruption that is likely the most prevalent in areas like the nuclear arsenal where nobody corrupt ever expected missing maintenance to be noticed.
So? I’m not saying the EU should invade Russia. I’m (mainly) saying the EU should defend Europe.
Do you suggest we negotiate with terrorists now? How far has that gotten us, apart from fractured democracies, and more powerful tyrants? Should we hand over the world to every tyrant who threatens to push the button and start a nuclear war? All the more reason to eliminate the tyrant as far as I am concerned.
Narcissists and psychopaths do not respect the rule of law, or notions of “soft power”. The only thing they understand is violence. If they can’t be forcefully tried and imprisoned for their crimes, they should be neutralized, with extreme prejudice.

Russia has 5k nukes
Russia is free to go home any day. There is no universe where what you mention is somehow a better play for Russia than simply going home.
We must insure they do not win their war of conquest, otherwise there will simply be more.

Sick of Russia holding the world hostage with their crusty nukes.
