What I think does not matter. You are not answering my question: How do you want to force both parties into negotiations when you have already decided the outcome? I am really curious about your answer. If you cannot answer the question, your entire line of thought is worthless.
You will not like the answer. Large parts of Ukraine are not a democracy. It is still a cruel, corrupt regime. It is Western propaganda that is spread here and believed by many.
Ukraine wants and needs our support. But it cannot come without a price. We have to force them to negotiate and also to make painful compromises. The highest priority is to protect the population. Zelensky does not care about the population; he burns his soldiers just as ruthlessly as Putin. He just pretends to empathize better. His Nazis and Azov fighters have been integrated into large parts of the military. There are well-founded reports on this from 2014. By the way, on your favorite channels ARD and ZDF, not Telegram.
We force Russia with clear messages and a combination of effective sanctions plus the prospect of relief. But most important: get rid of moral superiority and the USA. Again, the Americans are at least as ruthless and brutal militarily as the Russians. Only there we do not dare to impose sanctions because of NATO.
Our media are largely just as populist and deceitful as the Russian ones. 90% of Russians think their media are honest and therefore support the war. Here, it is exactly the other way around. But it is easy to settle for being in the majority and for lies. I understand that.
