1. US recognition of Crimea and other occupied territories as Russian territory.
2. Ukraine permanently barred from seeking NATO membership.
3. All sanctions dating back to 2014 lifted and frozen assets returned.
Ukraine will get:
1. An end to the bombing.
2. A chance to rebuild the country with the UK and EU footing the bill.
3. A security guarantee from the UK and the EU, but categorically NO American involvement. If Russia re-invades in the future, the UK and France will IMMEDIATELY vow to stand with Ukraine again for as long as it takes.
What say you, forum? Should Action Man accept this final offer?

This reminds me of the amazing deal I cut with my house intruder last night. I agreed he could have the PS5 and TV and in return he would leave the house and probably not come back.

In hindsight it was probably incredibly stupid for the Biden Administration to spend 3 whole years burning through Ukrainians instead of pushing for a peace deal. Whoever could have foreseen Trump would hang them out to dry?

This is the normal outcome when you lose a war nowadays. Germany had to concede a lot of pre war territory for peace. We didn’t offer them anything at all.

Shocking. I am sure you will find just one that you can approve of and show us all where you get your credible information. Probably Russia RT

Remember when the big tough Brits were going to send some of their 75,000 troops to help guard Ukraine just so long as their wet nurse America promised to hold their hand? Yeah, they ain't gonna be doing that anymore...
You know, for 3 years I've been asking these fucking retards: "For as long as it takes TO DO WHAT???" We finally have an answer. For as long as it takes for them to be exposed as a bunch of yapping chihuahuas and snivelling cowards who talk tough when Big Brother America has them covered but crawl back into their kennels and leave Ukraine in the lurch once their master cuts them loose.

That was not offered in May 1945 though. That came later, when it was realized that West Germany needed to be built up as a bulwark against communism during the nascent Cold War.
A new document was drafted, the Joint Chiefs of Staff directive 1067 (JCS 1067), which directed the US forces of occupation in Germany to "take no steps looking toward the economic rehabilitation of Germany [nor steps] designed to maintain or strengthen the German economy".[44][45][46][47][48] It was also ordered that starvation, disease and civil unrest were to be kept below such levels where they would pose a danger to the troops of occupation. The directive was approved by President Truman on 10 May 1945, then formally issued to Eisenhower, and was the basis for US occupation policy until July 1947. It applied only to the US zone (although attempts had been made to get the other Allies to accept it). The occupation directive remained secret until 17 October 1945. It was made known to the public two months after the US had succeeded in incorporating much of it into the Potsdam Agreemen
That's just a bit different than "please let us help you rebuild your entire country".
He came back the next day with weapons, but I was once again able to make a deal with him, he could smack my wife but not my children and take the furniture, but in return he left without any further violence.
