"Russia has to be dismantled or renewed to a point it will never be a threat again."

There's a huge difference between having a future where you dont have an army but your kids grow up and have a school to go to and an alternative where nothing can live on the soil of your cities for the next thousand years.

Like I said, the incentive is there. If you can't see the difference, then that's down to you.

russia can only blame themselves. Noone forced them to attack Ukraine. They aren't fightning NATO in Ukraine either as their claim.

Today I say, anythings possible.
