'Peace in January' is unrealistic

This isn’t even funny anymore.

"Even if there’s some "bigger plan" we’re unaware of, just implementing a freeze and slowly moving from a war state to something like the 38th parallel could take months."

That’s not even considering the inertia of political and diplomatic processes — even if both sides agree to a ceasefire and diplomatic settlement.

Preparing for elections alone would take at least 3 months, ideally 6. So, theoretically, January to May might work.

But anyone spreading the idea of "peace in January" is just a naive dreamer. And they’re planting these dangerous fantasies in other people’s heads.

Don’t do that.
