I'd honestly say Russia is more than a threat in the region... Russia is a threat to the whole world really.I think everyone argues to some degree from ideology and lies can occur in any field. But I would agree that Narrow and Nico do argue more for ideology than others.
I also argue from ideology, part of my motivation is that Russia is a real threat in the region. Also Ukraine was attacked unjustly. What is this unjustly-- we can argue that this is ideologically based.
There are also pragmatic reasons to not let Russia get the upper hand such as not rewarding bad behaviour which will spur other people on to bypass the rules based order.

Using a hypersonic missile to kill a nazi seems a little excessiveMore vapourware:
Those pesky "precision" missiles playing up again?
When the asovs were trapped at mariupol letting them out into ukraine dressed in civilian/womans clothing or whatever is not even an option. You cannot be that stupid.
oh god, tell us more about your extensive medic training
yes intelligence assessments ARE biased, did you somehow miss the multi-year Russia election hoax that the entire US intelligence core claimed was real?!?
it's all kabuki theatre, and you are the gullible fool buying popcorn in the queue expecting something real on stage![]()
just like Bucha?
Russia asked for an independent investigation, the only thing from Ukraine's side was that Russia massacred people ... without a shred of evidence

So the answer to my question is to negotiate with Putin, but nobody is prepared to do that.
They also mistook the USS George H.W Bush for the Admiral Kuznetsov:
the world's "finest intelligence agencies" claimed for at least three days after Severodonetsk fell that Ukraine still held it, then they did the same after Lysychansk fell
do try to keep up
Ukraine desolved itself in 2014 with a nationalist coup which parts of the country refused to accept.
Putin's side said a number of times they were prepared to negotiate, but Zelensky did not make any attempts at what had originally been discussed back in March.
Propaganda indeed, lies - perhaps. And one does not even have to want to negotiate with Putin, but there is currently no movement to even remotely try and stop the atrocities.
Let's work/make proposals towards ceasefire and then see what happens.
don't shoot the messenger![]()
