    Why? Did you read it? This is not the Trump surrender plan, but a sound peace plan, offering Moscow the occupied territorries and the lifting of sanctions in exchange for accepting Ukrains independence. The only thing I miss are the military and civilian prisoners. It’s actually so sound that there is no risk whatsoever that Putin will accept it.

      The big issue is giving Russia the territory it conquered. This is “if you give a mouse a cookie” in geopolitics - Russia will see this as a pause to let them rebuild, then they’ll take over a little more, and a little more, until they own everything. This is how Israel keeps expanding its borders, and it will signal to every other country out there, if accepted, that invasions are totally fine, you just have to make the conflict public enough that the West forces capitulation.
