I’d love to hear what folks think about this solution to the war in Ukraine:
-
NATO announces publically: in 2 weeks/10 days/5 days/whatevs we enter the war.
-
NATO will push all Russian forces out of Ukraine, back to before the 2014 annexation of Crimea.
-
NATO will grant free passage back to Russian for those not fighting back.
-
NATO will not cross into Russia territory, nor strike inside Russia unless attacked from inside Russia. An overwhelming response will be dealt in response.
-
Any use of nukes by Russia (or friends of) will be met with a devastating response.
-
Russia can stay in Russia until it learns to behave properly, ready to accept responsibility and begin building back good will with the rest of the civilized world.
I’ve no business thinking I’m qualified to suggest such big matters, but I can’t get this idea out of my head. I’m sure many others have suggested similar ideas and there are obvious reasons this won’t work. I value the opinion many here.
It does hinge on one thing… some high mucky-muck in the Russian gov’t (Foreign Minister? Wasn’t the bald guy at the UN…) said Russia would only use nukes in response to an “existential threat”. Putin may have also stated this. This why I would have NATO stop at the Russian border and only strike inside Russian territory in response to strikes from inside Russia. Step 5. takes care of Russia (and perhaps the rest of the world🤨) in the event of Russian nuke use.
We, the world, will let Russia exist inside the Russian border; therefore, no existential threat. And no nukes.
Just seems to me this has to end and russia must be defeated. How else but the combined power of NATO?
