China’s armed forces secretly trained about 200 Russian military personnel in China late last year and some have since returned to fight in Ukraine, according to three European intelligence agencies and documents seen by Reuters.



Why would it be a shit deal?
Why should they drop reperations? Why should European Alliance be forced to prohibit the US from joining? There’s no reason for those demands.
The reason is to entice Putin to accept the proposal.
Why don’t you offer him Ukraine then, lift all senctions, dissolve NATO, dissolve EU, dissolve the US and maybe blow his Johnson personally? He surely will accept that.
In an agreement, each party will not get everything they want. An example is an agreement between a union and the employer. In my proposal, Putin will be given incentives that will save face. Putin will be able to tell Russians that he successfully removed the threat of NATO.
So I can start an attack and then for me to stop you have to give me something because that’s how compromising works???
Yes, if that’s necessary to stop the attack.
Why don’t we attack Russia to make those demands as well?
Who are the ‘we’?
