Russia Ukraine war, page-231699

Really hard to keep up with you. Keep things simple and clear if you can, please.
Kievan leaders made the choice to use their population to fight, in lieu of the main other option (diplomacy). As time goes on I have suggested, and argued, that this seems to have been a bad decision (for normal Ukrainians. Good news for other people).
I agreed with your earlier gaslighting that, yes, Russia also has a choice, and that one of those would obviously be negotiating - but that they probably won't do this if they think they can deal with the most recent incursion.
