It sounds like you think we forced Putin into a corner and he is therefor justified in his actions, and will respond to rational negotiations if only given the chance. I doubt that.

I have said multiple times that it is a no-win situation, and there are no good choices. You have said multiple times that I support warring with Russia - perhaps you know my mind better than I do?

And, I have opened all of your links and am not persuaded of anything by any of them.
