The war will continue. There is simply no other option
I know that peace talks at this stage of the war can only lead to even more problems. Let me explain why.
In this case, it makes no sense for Russia to agree to a ceasefire. They will want much more. They're already making their demands public. We will be shocked by the conditions they will set. There's little reason to believe otherwise.
So either everything will stop before it starts, or what they will push through in the course of the so-called negotiations will simply not work.
Here, I would discuss the additional internal consequences for us, but I will keep quiet for now. It is not difficult to guess.
One thing is certain: the war will continue. I'm sorry, but there are no other options. There is a positive aspect. The war will ultimately lead to the demise of the Russian Federation.
A possible continuation of the failed “peace” negotiations will be a much larger war involving more participants, but one of the results of such a war will still be the collapse of Russia.
So stay calm and fight on. We have no choice. There's no other path. Freedom or death.
