Lets talk peace. Seems to be what Russia wants to talk about so lets do it. Of course anyone engaging in such a discussion needs to know a few things. First, Russia has never honored a single international agreement she signed. Most importantly the Budapest Memorandum. She signed

that in 1994 and promised to respect Ukraine's borders. Second, Russia does not feel bound by international law. For example, it is illegal under Interational law to annex territory or forcibly transfer children. More of those international agreements Russia signs but does not

honor. Third any pause in the fighting will provide time for Russia to train her mobiks, reconstitute units and dig in making any future Ukrainian counter-offensive much harder and bloodier and also limit Russian losses to the cold and wet by allowing the bulk of the invaders to

find shelter from winter. Fourth, Russia does not negotiate in good faith. Russia was a part to the Minsk Agreements negotiations but as soon as they were inked claimed she was not a party and that Ukraine had to deal with the separatist directly while also directing the

separatist to tank the implementation of the agreements. Fifth, per Russian law, there is nothing Russia can do to cede back the territory she invaded and illegally annexed. She literally has nothing to bring to the table and the best she could do is promise not to invade again.

See points 1:4 as too how much that promise would be worth. Got it? OK, now what's there to negotiate? Peace talks at this point are just a stalling tactic and a way to sow division in the West. Sure eventually there will be talks aimed at getting stolen Ukrainians back, how much

reparations Russia owes Ukraine, the turn over of Russian officials and war criminals to stand trial at the Hauge and the required benchmarks before there is any sanctions relief. But that is not today. Today is a day to kill or be killed in a war that Russia wanted. To keep the

killed (Russians) and be killed (Ukrainians) numbers as high/low as possible what Ukraine needs are not diplomats interested in peace at any cost but leaders who understand the real cost of an early peace. Thats why I tag @JohnBoozman, @SenTomCotton and @RepFrenchHill in my daily

threads. Send more, send better, send now! That is the recipe for a real peace. We can do our part too. Firstly, we can stomp all over the idiotic comments that Ukraine must surrender (early peace) to Russia and let Russia win. Bonking this BS is the way. Shaping public opinion

countering the trolls is why #FELLAS and #NAFO exists, well that and supporting the @georgian_legion as they help shape the future peace. They and units like the @belwarriors or 92nd Brigade being supported by @LibertyUkraineF are negotiating in the only language Russia

understands. We can also give to other worthwhile charities: @MriyaAid, @UkraineAidOps, @U24_gov_ua and @3xR_team round out my list of "you can trust these ones" There are more but this is my list. No offense to any of the others who have spoken on @MriyaReport intended.

Until Ukraine Wins On Ukraine's Terms: Slava Ukraini! @mfa_russia <--- still losing and I wouldn't trust you to dispose of used toilet paper let alone anything important like say honest negotiations.
