Putin goes on to say

”Our proposal is not to freeze the conflict, like how the west wants it, but to end it. I repeat, this is not to freeze the conflict, but for its final completion.”

    Whether or not any Russian president would have accepted it doesn’t justify invading another country with the intent of claiming the land as their own, nor does it make them any less of the aggressor.

      You seem to be giving a green light to invade to every NATO-aligned state, including Ukraine. But hey, prove me wrong and tell us how every state that invaded, for example, Iraq and Afghanistan should answer for their crimes.

      But no, if the gang of states that keep invading everywhere around the world and killing millions are encroaching on your borders after promising to not expand towards you, you have a reason to act against them.

      Also, care to tell us what makes you qualified to tell the rest of the world how it should resist you?

      Turns out that diplomacy doesn’t work like “we are the USA and we will dictate the terms always and forever”, it was only a matter of time before someone put their foot down.

      That’s not a moral judgement, that’s just how shit happens.
