A good answer!

... Also odd of them to ask her, since foreign affairs is, if I remember right, done by the president, not Prime Minister, but she gives a good answer nonetheless!

(Frankly, especially given the farking trial by fire she's had here--she took office, like. 4 months before covid, I think she's done a pretty damn good job)

She's doing a good job, no wonder they were trying to throw as much shiat as possible at her recently.

There is really no other answer.  The invading force leaves.  Anything else perpetuates the conflict.  No part of Ukraine belongs to Russia.

Ehh, kinda. The President of Finland works with the PM's government on foreign policy, and is basically the face of that foreign policy, but if they were to try to exert too much independence from the government they would probably be slapped down with constitutional amendments to remove what power they still have. In effect, the President is the mouthpiece of the PM's foreign policy.

That is really the only "off ramp" that is left for Russia. Putin has no other option left. Putin squandered the negotiated settlement with favorable terms he had in his lap not to invade. Putin's only shot at retaining power is to pull out and find scapegoats, spinning his way out of it, if his scapegoats do not get him first. A tactical nuclear attack would guarantee a war crimes trial and execution for Putin and those who assisted.

It's the most simple, immediate and complete solution.  It only takes one country to pull off, no negotiations, no timetable.  And it's the solution most wanted by most of the world.  Literally, only a small number of people in Moscow don't want that solution.

Leaving Ukraine would be suicide for Putin. Figuratively. In all likelihood, literally too. He knows that. It won't happen.

Either cooler heads in Moscow deal with Putin, or things will escalate until Russia, China, India, Israel and the US are settling grudges with their heaviest artillery. This could happen in days or weeks.

Fortunately, as a genxer I've had a lifetime to mentally accept the prospect of spontaneous incineration.

The EU already gave them an off ramp back during the last invasion. The ceasefire deal only paid lip service to the seized territory going back to Ukraine. But in essence, the framework would had resulted in Russia keeping the land. Like Morocco basically has managed to keep Spanish Sahara.

The issue would had been stalled in meaningless negotiations over decades, giving Moscow time to Russify the regions even more to the point where they don't even have to lie about referendum results.

Putin refused that off ramp and doubled down. So fark him and fark mother Russia.

I would 100% love to have her as a leader. She's pretty fearless and whip smart. She was on an episode of Somebody Feed Phil on Netflix, where they chatted about the environment. It was probably the most natural conversation I've ever seen a politician have on camera.

And yeah, she killed that response.

It looks like Brown is laughing at the notion expressed by the meme (source unknown), that NATO instigated the conflict with Russia and then set up Ukraine to take the blame. Am I interpreting all that correctly?

Maybe it's too early to engage in the higher reasoning required by Twitter memes.

Russia has revealed that it is so weak we could actually consider that as a realistic outcome.  "Surrender your accused war criminals to the Hague or we're sealing you off from the world until we're sure you've reverted to the Stone Age".

Just a year ago that would have been a silly thing to consider.

Mr Brown retweeted something an hour ago that said

Left Globalists wants 2 bring Russia down They also want to destabilse strong India & get rid of BJP

Gonna go with he thinks Russia is curb stomping Ukraine right now and there's no subtext to the post.

The only way out I see for Putin is for him to find an identical body double. Train the double in secret to act and behave exactly like him. Tell the double that he is very important, and to be a stand in for Putin to do some task crucial to the motherland. On that day, with the double pretending to be him, Putin busts through the door, disheveled like he has been held captive, and exclaiming: "This imposter has ruined our country, and started a war with our beloved friends in Ukraine! He must die!!!"
Putin then shoots the body double in the head, regains his place as the head of Russia, stopping the war and bringing peace to the world. He now looks like a savior, blaming everything that happened on the other guy.
