Yeah you are right. I was being far too generous though I thought I was being harsh.

I absolutely believe the west should restore full trade and diplomatic relations with Russia when it has:

1. Removed all of it's forces to pre 2014 borders.
2. Turned over all of its war criminals to The Hague, Putin and every one of his supporters and everyone down the line who has committed war crimes in Ukraine.
3. Paid every penny of restitution to Ukraine for all the damage it has done includes $1 million for every Ukrainian killed, wounded, tortured, murdered, injured and raped.

Then we can begin to talk.

Russians: do you see what Putin has done to you?

A lot of people probably imagine that if they were just in the right spot, they would see something like the Hubble and Webb deep space images of thousands of galaxies. Nuh uh. Those pictures only exist because the telescope was gathering light for many hours or even days. Our eyes will never see anything much except the pin pricks of light from stars in our own galaxy and faint smudges of the neighboring galaxies.
