Vladimir Putin is a murderous thug who launched a war in Ukraine a year ago to steal Ukrainian sovereignty and end their democracy by committing mass murder and terrorizing destruction. But sure, tell me again how Zelensky and the Ukrainians should negotiate for peace with him.

โ€œ...Georgia was followed by Crimea. Look at the pictures of Grozny or Aleppo. Compare them to Kharkiv & Mariupol. Why do they look so similar?

Because Putin sees every off-ramp provided to him by the world as an entrance on the road to his next target.

We must, after 2 decades, learn the lessons Putin has taken such pains to teach us...

Either we stop him this time or he will do this again.โ€

โ€œWe must, after 2 decades, learn the lessons Putin has taken such pains to teach us. There are two choices. Either we stop him this time or he will do this again. Either he pays a price for these crimes greater than any he has known before or we will be right back here again soon.โ€

And Georgia was preceded by two Chechen wars.

Thereโ€™s also the non military takeover of Belarus.
