>well, that's all very tough to try to argue against.

No it's very easy as it's all total bullshit. You don't argue with bullshit, you just dismiss it.

>He is as much of a criminal as Putin but his grip on power is not comparable.

The difference between a dictator and a wannabe dictator.

Russian claims are extremely reliable. They're false basically every time.

>We gave significant amount of financial aids to Ukraine since day 1 but it seems Ukraine hasn't give any credits to us lol

Some say it may be intentional to avoid complicating SKs relations with Russia. Japan was also excluded.

>Peace negotiations should be inevitable because neither side wants a forever war. Or is that a bad assumption?

Unfortunately, yes. What's in Putin's interest is not the same as Russia's interest.

It would have been closer to the same if he wasn't fed bullshit all the time, but when you surround yourself with yes-men and kill anyone who disagrees, that's what you get.

Russia could continue to lob missiles at Ukraine indefinitely. At which point it depends on if sanity will prevail in Russia and Putin will fall out of a window repeatedly or whether we can offer to lighten sanctions to make them stop.

Personally I'd prefer a different kind of solution, but it's not one I'd imagine the western nations will stomach.
