I listened to an interview recently, I believe on BBC, where the interviewee said the biggest issue with peace talks is that the international community isn't able to trust Putin to keep his word on whatever is agreed upon. I hadn't considered that, but it makes a lot of sense and I'm not sure how that could change
Russia won't be trustworthy until Putin and his fascist United Russia party are gone.
The international community being G7 countries accounting for 15% of world population. Nobody gives a fuck what the west thinks at this point.
The same argument can be used in favor of Russia. NATO has invaded plenty of countries under false pretenses in the past. Both Russia and NATO do not have a reputation for keeping their promises.
"plenty"
Unironically yes, NATO members have invaded a lot of places, often in coalition with other member states.
That's like saying Canada is responsible for something Mexico did because they're both on the same continent...
NATO is purely a defense agreement.
Tell that to Libya.
Or Belgrade/the former Yugoslavia.
.
It is more like saying the axis is known to invade nations because its member states invade nations. Okay, sure, Germany and Italy invaded the soviet union but Japan didn't, you can't say they're not a defensive alliance /s
Who was the interviewee?
It will change when the cancer finally kills that bastard.
