Cornering?  Strange.  I don't think you understand, but not surprising.  For many Americans, what goes on in Russia is a concept that's difficult to understand.

In the time-period of Putin's early career as a KGB spy, the KGB typically rewarded ruthlessness that achieved results.  There were no bounds, no rules, nothing off limits.  Assassination, blackmail, intimidation - not a concern for the KGB.  It was the perfect environment for a black-belt judo scrapper who grew up on the streets of post-war Leningrad.

I believe he is inherently aggressive.  For him, anyone who dares to contradict him is a threat.    Appeasement of that type of personality also doesn't end well.  Like a jackal circling prey, I believe he will relentlessly pick off the weak first and surprise attack the strong who could offer resistance.

As an example, if he steals something, rapes someone, murders someone - his expectation is you stand and watch; maybe even clap and cheer him on.  But this also means that the more you appease, the worse it will be.  This is why so many Russians are ambivalent to politics or even sending their children to die in Ukraine.  Many are brainwashed sheep.  If today milk is white, then it's white.  If tomorrow milk is red, then it's red.  If nuclear war is discussed as inevitable on television, then nuclear war is inevitable.

It is ironic that you believe that capitulation in Ukraine will solve the issue?  You believe Putin will be happy?  Will stop on his own?  On the contrary, I believe it will accelerate his aggression.  The portions of Ukraine being fought over include key natural resources and industry needed to sustain a wider global conflict, to include oil.

Ask yourself, would you be fine having your child raised under the Russian government?  Where the only rule is abeyance absolute power?  If so, you're nothing but a slave, my friend.

Hopefully you understand what the Ukrainians are fighting for and why it's important to the World.[/quote]

Are you an expert on Russia?

Also, Ukraine and Russia are much less different than Ukraine wants the West to think 
I happen to agree with “political realists” that Putin’s aggression was caused by the US and NATO flirting with Russia’s neighbors 
To me it sounds logical. I think it was more than possible to coexist.

That makes it even worse that Russia would treat them so badly - with violent disrespect [/quote]

It’s like a thug snubbing a bigger thug. Never ends well. [/quote]

No it was not like that at all. [b]Ukrainians did not believe US intelligence that Russia was actually going to invade their peaceful country but believed Putin that amassing over 100k troops on the border was just a military training exercise.[/b] They would say we are almost cousins / they would not do that to us. Very few fled in advance of the invasion despite many warnings from US.

[b]Ukrainians kept going about their lives normally for the most part. They were far from thugs but just regular people leading their lives. [/b]

Russia was the only thug in this invasion and in their arrogance thought the Ukrainians would just submit after a few days. It is not thuggery to value your freedom and independence and fight back when the elephant next door with a much bigger military and economy that is led by an insane war criminal illegally invades you. That is bravery. [/quote]

Remember this as you read about Russia's nuclear war preparations.  This is Putin's MO.  Surprise attack on the weak or unsuspecting.[/quote]

I am pretty sure that he is planning nuclear attacks but don’t think I can do anything apart from remind others that he is a savage war criminal with no respect for human life and the author of endless lies and propoganda. It is sickening how much damage that he has done in our world all in the name of unbridled power.

We are surrounded by likely military targets so I doubt that we would survive.

I try to live my life with love and purpose every day though. Every day is a gift.

If you work in US intelligence, as I think you  may, thank you for your service and for helping western democracies to survive better than we otherwise would. [/quote]
