Here's an idea: call a ceasefire and let the diplomats negotiate, and let's see what happens. Let's see what actual ukrainians want after a few months of negotiation. Maybe Boris Johnson should fuck off. At least people are not dying until then. Outlandish, I know.

Since I live in a NATO country I criticise NATO more, since they are the ruling class above me and there's enough criticism of Putin around here anyway.
