Re: Russia has invaded Ukraine
I have never said "negotiation is appeasement"…
The only time I have said anything remotely resembling that was in March 2022

That would be on the table in any peace negotiation.

I wonder if it will be insisted that Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia leave NATO would also be on the table at any "peace negotiations"?
We never had to use tactical nukes to slow down any Sov invasion through the Fulda Gap because we bankrupted the Soviet Union into submission - it’s no different now, unless we let his blackmail work (by giving up Ukraine first, then the Suwalki Corridor, then Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia).
He won’t stop there, because, why should he? He will have seen his tactics work.
We didn’t let the threat of "Instant Sunshine” stop us in the Cold War, what’s the difference now?

Mr Ad-Hominem coming to visit again, I see…
Can’t we have a civilised discussion with differing views without personal attacks, please? (general call, not specific to you).

BRUSSELS, July 3 (Reuters) - NATO allies have agreed to fund military aid for Ukraine with 40 billion euros ($43 billion) next year, two Western European diplomats told Reuters on Wednesday, a week before the alliance's leaders are set to meet in Washington.
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg had asked allies to make a multi-year commitment to keep military aid for Kyiv at the same level as that since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, adding up to about 40 billion euros a year.
