  1. Russia should be sanctioned till three things happen. One they withdraw all troops from Ukraine lands to include Crimea. Two Putin is removed from power. 3 they pay reparations to rebuild Ukraine.

    Russia’s foreign assets should seized and used to pay for the war and reconstruction of Ukraine!

    Now it becomes quite evident that China and North Korea (and some of Middle east countries including Iran) would keep take advantage of current situation by selling weapons to Russia.

    Hope that Macron means what he is saying, not just saying it.
    Ruissa is far different from western Europe.

  4. Yes, it should always be considered a hostile nation. There is no reason to go back to the normalization that used to be there.

  5. Russia should not be allowed to return to the world stage until Ukraine and any other nation they have altered the sovereignty of is restored and full reparations are made to Ukraine and any other country they have taken control of even in part.

    Fuck that. U wanna step out and kill a bunch of folks? You should, in turn, be flattened to rubble.

  7. Can we take one thing at a time here in the right priority sequence. 1. Kick *rcs butt, win war, and restore ALL territory with a reasonable rebuild agreement. (After point 1 is achieved, start the process of wondering about point 2 and not before) 2. Consider whether a relationship with Russia is wanted / needed and at what level.

  8. Once Russia makes all reparations to Ukraine and signs an international agreement on Ukraines independence from Russia I might agree with Macron.

  9. Shouldn’t be having relations with them at all, they are terrorists. Because they are bigger than most groups and have a recognized county of their own should make no difference in how they are treated.

  10. Well yeah, eventually, people are still people. Old men should never let hate gets in the way of the new generation, hate would just push Russia down the path of pre-WW2 Germany and potentially spawn something worse than Putin.

  11. Embargo? 
    Build a wall? 
    Edit all maps, so there’s just a scribble?

    Or all of the above? 

  12. Look if countries, corporations and world leaders haven’t already re-evaluated their relations with Russia, why the fuck would they change anything after the war is over? Relations with Russia should be re-evaluated *today*. Right now.

  13. I wonder what does “normalization of relations with Moscow” mean for Hungary?
    If it means “stop being Kermit the Frog on putin’s hand” then I think it’s not phrased clear enough.

  14. It’s always been fuck Russia in USA. Just had a weak ass president be made his bitch but that’s it!

  15. Double speaking Mr Far right? 

    Say anything to please the left but do the exact opposite to keep your extreme far right funded.

  16. Isolate them like North Korea. Remove them from every international org. Sanction the fuck out of them and 3rd countries that trade with them. China trades with them? Ban trade with China. Globalisation was a dumb as fuck idea. World peace doesn’t come from dictators getting rich, it’s the fuckin opposite.

  17. Yeah, close the door and throw away the key and let those bastards eat each other alive. Fuck that gas station

  18. Russia hahahah the 80’s called and wants its foreign policy back – constitutional professor

  19. Yeah I agree though. Putin really fucked Russia on the world stage. I don’t know how or why anyone would take the country seriously ever again.

    If Putin is in charge: we will keep halting all economic activities with Russia.

    If a normal leader and democracy is installed: we will help build a prosperous cultural and scientific powerhouse.

    Let the Russians choose.

  21. Police tell man who has locked himself in a building with a gun he’ll be treated very poorly if he comes quietly.

  22. Reconsidered?
    Only if the current regime is dead and buried and we see something resembling a proper government that isn’t constantly hell bent on invading neighbours or rebuilding some Imperial folly.

    Anything other than this, we should keep the drawbridge firmly up and let them stew in their own shit.

  23. Macron just got under fire recently for remarks soft on Ukraine, warning against not “humiliating” them (as if they aren’t blatantly set on the humiliation and suffering of Ukraine). This quote was engineered to be ambiguous in the hopes both sides could read it favorably.
