  1.  @bbbb8301  It's kind of hard though. Because let's say that we reward Russia for invading Ukraine by giving them land. What's going to stop them from taking more later? I live in Norway. What if they invade us next? They'll probably stay away from our mainland due to NATO, but I wouldn't be surprised if they'll invade say Svalbard next... And to avoid a nuclear war the US might just claim that islands are different and refuse to accept a attack on Svalbard as a valid trigger for article 5... They've done that kind of things before... Going along with the Russian demands for land is just not a option, nor is it to take away the options of Ukraine to choose their own destiny. Only Ukraine can negotiate anything there. But for them that's also a issue. If they accept not joining NATO and/or the EU they risk ending up in this same situation again, without the protection that's being a NATO member gives... Russia signed a treaty guaranteeing Ukrainian independence and freedom, and now they're walking back on that. What credibility does Russia have left? How can you negotiate with someone like that? Prior to Putin it was possible to negotiate with Russia. Even during the cold war. We did, despite being in NATO and we found compromises and shared solutions. But under Putin it's just not possible to trust Russia anymore. It's not possible to negotiate, because Putin has no remaining credibility.

  2.  @michaelm1589  Probably, but not *necessarily*. Pasifism is a legitimate political view/opinion held by people on both the left and the right. In the US it's mostly certain christian denominations that's against taking part in war or killing in any way, shape or form. On the left like here in my country, Norway it's a combination of ethics (you shall not kill) and the sense that wars usually are decisions made by the upper classes while it's the lower classes, both civilians and in the military that usually ends up suffering the consequences while the objective rarely if ever are in the interests of working class people. The extreme left in my country also believes in conspiracy theories about NATO essentially setting this up to weaken Russia and that they want the carnage in Ukraine... And they're also worried about this turning into WW3 with nukes flying about... I'm far left but not extreme left, and our point of view essentially is that while the agressive wars started by NATO definitely are problematic this still remains a defensive war where a imperialist agressor is trying to take away the Ukrainian peoples right to self determination... So while we still have mixed feelings about the war we're supporting Ukraine. While his way of phrasing his views indicates that he doesn't mind actively seeking out conflict (trolling) it's not necessarily a Russian or Russian aligned individual and while the wording is definitely off the overall sentiment it's necessarily that far out there...
