Well... he isn't wrong. It is indeed completely irrational to fight 17 months, lose hundred thousand+ soldiers, most of your somewhat modern equipment and damage your economy for decades to come while proving to be incapable of even remotely reaching the goals set for just a 3-day-long invasion. And Russia should finally pack up, go home and end this shit show.

And now let's wait for his brilliant plan to actually get Russia to wake up from their insane fever dream and delusion of grandeur... That is his plan, isn't it? *cough*

Hey Andres, if the USA would invade and annex the Yucatán Peninsula (Cancún) how would you feel if some country on the other side of the world ask you to stop the fight and just talk to the USA? ... yeah, right.

Then push Russia to withdraw from Ukraine and pay reparations for the damage they've done. The only thing irrational about this war is that Russia started it and keeps acting like it's justified.

I agree, but that doesn't change the fact that the mexican president is in cahoots with the russian government.

Given Angela Merkel said outloud that minsk negotiations were a delaying tactic, what incentive is there to negotiate?

A ceasefire would be great. Which is why you don't use negotiations cynically.
