Some people will call me an appeaser, and mention Chamberlain. Well, each situation has to be valued in its own, but that war cost the lives of up to 85 million people, plus Europe's economies were bandrupt afterwards, so surely their was a better way? And I didn't say it on twitter, because I'm anti-imperialist, but I thought it would appeal to the British nationalists, that the war destroyed Britain's Empire, which the Americans took over, and so they had a good standard of living, while we were broke.
Anyway, I didn't know what a Realist was until I came across John J Measheimer recently, and I would say that I was a left leaning Realist. So, it just makes sense to me for the Ukraine to do this deal. And as the years go by, the East and West regions might even start to like each other if they start to trade.
But the Neo-nazis have already shot one politician who was in peace talks with Russia, calling him a traitor, so I hope the same doesn't happen to Zelensky. Plus, it seems that the US wants this war to continue to bankrupt Russia. Many dark forces are at play.
