(#4871) No compromise with putin!

      I know when I go to the dentist and he is drilling on a tooth I don't stop him and say let us make a deal that includes no more pain! I push on and let him finish his work. Then I feel better afterwards. I know it isn't much of an analogy but the principle applies here. No letting putin off the hook and letting Ukraine continue to suffer for putin's pleasure. That putin tried and failed to eliminate Ukraine out of existence does not warrant him getting anything other than a bad loss for his murderous gambit. We don't negotiate with murderers to let them off the hook for their crimes at least we shouldn't so it is with putin. He must pay for his evil intentional acts!
     So no to any brokered deal that stops the invasion by the Russian horde where they get to keep captured Ukrainian territory. Nothing in the Donbas area nor the Crimea shall Russian be gifted with for their most atrocious acts of murder. Do not reward cowards who murder with prizes for their efforts. The only thing putin should get for his invasion crimes is a death sentence. The fact that Russia chose to try to commit genocide on the Ukrainian people is enough evidence to thwart any compromise with them. They will suffer their lot in life as they chose it. I don't give a gnat's ass about the Russian citizens being lied to by their dictator. Lying is what dictators do and their ignorance of that simple fact does not absolve them of their share of putin's blame.
     Russia should consider itself lucky that Ukraine doesn't take their land as spoils to the victor. So no compromise with the loser and dead man walking putin who should be behind bars or in the ground for his actions. We in the west are followers of honorable principles but sometimes rightly or wrongly we put economic and social practices ahead of what is right and good. This had better not be one of those times as the murderer putin needs to be made an example of so that the whole world knows that there is no escape from justice, even when that justice is still less than what the culprit perpetrated! No compromise!
