Well... he isn't wrong. It is indeed completely irrational to fight 17 months, lose hundred thousand+ soldiers, most of your somewhat modern equipment and damage your economy for decades to come while proving to be incapable of even remotely reaching the goals set for just a 3-day-long invasion. And Russia should finally pack up, go home and end this shit show.

And now let's wait for his brilliant plan to actually get Russia to wake up from their insane fever dream and delusion of grandeur... That is his plan, isn't it? *cough*

The only person who said 3 days was some random US general, why are y'all using it as some sort of gotcha?

Even if it was hyperbole, which it isn't, they still tried to blitzkrieg and failed.

Hey Andres, if the USA would invade and annex the Yucatán Peninsula (Cancún) how would you feel if some country on the other side of the world ask you to stop the fight and just talk to the USA? ... yeah, right.

By that logic the entirety of America should declare unending war against the United States. Doesn't sound that terrible if you ask me, but isn't exactly the "humanitarian" approach.

Yucatán doesn't have Americans living in it.

In fact America did invade and annex parts of Mexico. Why do you think half of California has Spanish names?

I agree, but that doesn't change the fact that the mexican president is in cahoots with the russian government.

Given Angela Merkel said outloud that minsk negotiations were a delaying tactic, what incentive is there to negotiate?

A ceasefire would be great. Which is why you don't use negotiations cynically.
