1. Switzerland is neutral.

Russia could try that.

2. You can’t use the United Kingdom as an example.
Unless you’re going to let Russia join the Commonwealth.

There's a step missing there.

If Russia would rather have Chuckles 3 as their king instead of Pooty the Failure, it's between them and the Brits. I ain't brittish and don't have a say about their silly little monarchy.

Remember a TV show called I Love Lucy
A married couple, one was American and one was Cuban.

What if they did a remake?
Where one is American and one is Russian.

They did one a few years ago where both were Russians pretending to be Americans. Is that good enough?

Love365 said:

American movies and TV shows have two types of Russian characters.
The spy and the criminal.
You think that might be racist?

Maybe have Russian characters with more humanity.

Russians are not a race. So, no, it wouldn't be "racist".

What about the characters I referenced just above?

The White Russian Paradox

Russians are white,
so it’s impossible to say anything racist about them.

At the same time Russians aren’t white enough,
to join the European Union.
Or speak in European Parliament.

No. It's not because they're "white" but AS I SAID BEFORE not a race.

A gratuitous, bigoted insult of a Russian for being Russian, is just that. It does not go after them for being "white" and non-Russian white people can do it. (I'll stick for gratuitous, well-earned insults of the Russian dictator Vladimir Vladimirovich. Those are neither.)

Would you support teaching the Russian alphabet?

So that more people lean to speak Russian,
for better communication with Russia.

Could we lift sanctions on Russia,
If they give permission for United Nations peacekeeping ?

Sure, but it's going to be a challenge to find enough peace keepers with how large Russia is. Though they could make it a bit easier by carving off large chunks of their territory to create the buffer states they allegedly want.

I wonder, since the war is over illegally acquired territory, is Ukraine going to give land back to Poland? The part of Poland that Hitler gave the Soviet Union?

It's western Ukraine and Belarus that were part of inter-war Poland (Lviv, Brest) not the parts east of the Dnipr where the fighting has been.

Yes, Ukraine wants Russia to give up the territory that was illegally taken. Is Ukraine going to do the same for Poland in the west?

And what about the territory that was taken from Germany and given to Poland at the end of WW II? And so on?

If you have a problem with Soviet expansion westward into what was Poland in 1939, take it up with the Soviets.
