  What’s crazy to me is propaganda coming from our own country.  Turn on fox for a night. It’s praising Putin 24/7.  Fucking insane what conservatives are tuning into.
context: Ukraine won't negotiate until it gets back all of its territories, and the Russians don't see Ukraine as a legitimate state. Diplomacy between the two is impossible. >
  
  Russia signed the Budapest Memorandum in 1994, in which Russia guaranteed to respect the territorial integrity of Ukraine.
  Until Russia complies with that document which it signed in 1994, its signature on a new 'peace treaty' document is worthless. >
  
  You neglected to mention the most important aspect of that memorandum: UKRAINE GAVE UP THEIR NUKES IN RETURN FOR A PEACE GUARANTEE FROM RUSSIA. 
  And Russia invaded anyway.  Absolute scum of the earth. They will die, rot, and fade into the lost abyss of history. And it’s all on Putin’s hands.
