When talking billions people seem to forget that 1 billion = 1000 million IMO that's real money right there let alone the hundreds of billions they sent to a country that's been run by corrupt officials at every level (and they knew it)

Poor guy doesnt know about basic genetics or a simple color palette.

There are so many shades of skin color people will all be a shade of brown eventually and circle back around to birthing shades of whites again. Just like earth going through extinction events. But I know bestowing this knowledge on someone like yourself is meaningless. You'll just continue complaining about yourself.

You think so small...
This may be inconceivable to you, but race is not about skin color.

edit: also, I didn't know we switched from "its not happening" to "it's to late to stop it".
You sure you sent a memo?

Here is a simple reason why "negotiations" will FAIL.

Europe will not negotiate with Russia. They did not do it back in 2006, back in 2021 and not today either. all 27 countries have to "agree" to negotiate with Russia. Poland has rejected this repeatedly all the way back to 2006. As a consequence, Europe will NEVER negotiate with Russia. Does everyone understand what I just said? There is NO mechanism for europe to negotiate with Russia. They literally wrote it into EU LAW that all 27 countries have to AGREE to talk to Russia, BEFORE they talk to Russia. How wacky is that right ?

Instead, Europe deferred to the US prior to the war, Russia invaded, and now again, Europe defers to the US and has this wacky notion that the US has European interests when talking with Russia. it really is mind boggling.

In summary : The EU does have mechanisms to engage with Russia diplomatically, but for formal, EU-wide negotiation mandates or summits, unanimity among all 27 member states (i.e. 27 yes's) is required. In practice, this has repeatedly blocked meaningful EU-level negotiations with Russia (e.g., 2006, 2021), making coordinated EU-Russia talks extremely difficult. So while not literally impossible, the EU’s internal rules and political divisions make formal negotiations almost unachievable. And if you want to blame 1 person, you blame the leader, thats Ursula Von Der Leyen.

I’m worried that any agreement signed with NATO is not worth the paper it’s written on. Just look how Kumanovo or Minsk 1/2 turned out.

So how can Russia ensure security of its borders in perpetuity as a result of this war?

Russia rolling up on the defensive lines in Zaporizhia is the main problem now. If Ukraine can't stabilize Zaporizhia City is going to within artillery range sometime next year.

You were never able to stop anything guy.

There are a lot of problems right now. However, there is currently dialogue, which is something we have not seen in two years. Lets just sit back and see what happens by thursday.

That remains to be seen.
Now, did you send the memo or not?

Stop being cunts? Have they tried that in the last few centuries?

Their only claim to decency is crying foul and joining the allies after their alliance with the nazis went south
