Only two western leaders to my mind have even suggested opening up dialogue.

Viktor Orban of Hungary

and now obviously Trump.

Both demonised for suggesting (and now doing) what is essentially the alternative to violence, which is dialogue/diplomacy.

Crazy. You’d think that would be the first thing you try.

Not if the aim is the Balkanisation of Russia, which by the way it has always been.

Yeah makes sense. Imagine Mexico invades parts of Texas and US fight them back, without even trying diplomacy first. Lunatics.

Western backed Ukrainian Nazi auxillaires terrorised ethnically Russian areas of eastern ukraine for 8 years before Russia intervened.
