  • Hard agree with Blinken here.

    • honestly, i can't see how any reasonable person wouldn't.

      edit: russia has proven, repeatedly, that they don't honor their agreements. the only way that they won't invade again is if they're kicked out and if Ukraine has a modern military fully capable of kicking russia's ass if it tries again.
