    No troops without negotiations has to be the stance. Putin and Zelenski at a table

      Just so you don’t further embarrass yourself you should know that Russia is not interested in negotiation.

        The addition of more troops would undoubtedly be a large escalation resulting in further mobilisation in Russia. If you were a french soldier, would you be willing to go to the front without some much more serious negotiations occuring? Have we learned nothing since 9/11 and fighting on foreign soil?

          Yes of course they would that’s why they’re in the military because they are happy to risk their lives for their nation security. It’s not like they get asked every time there’s a conflict.

          I feel like you’re trying to make some sort of point, but it’s so muddy as to be completely incomprehensible. Russia, as in Putin, is not willing to negotiate so what exactly are you expecting to happen here.

          Additionally I have no idea what 9/11 is supposed to have to do with this given the fact that France had nothing to do with that conflict. That comment seems to have been thrown in there for literally no reason.

      There’s nothing to discuss.
      Putin invaded a sovereign country and the only acceptable outcome is returning all of Ukraine’s lost territory including Crimea, Ukraine should have to sacrifice absolutely nothing.
      That doesn’t require a discussion, it requires Putin to pack up and leave.
