The article only summarizes it shortly, but the parallels to the Munich Agreement from 1938 are really scary.

Hitler's aim was to take over all of Czechoslovakia by breaking it apart. The subject of the Munich Agreement was the Sudetenland, the region bordering Germany. Before there were some votes and local political forces expressing the wish of the German minority in the Sudetenland to create an independent state (See the parallels with DNR, LNR and Crimea). This was used by Hitler to justify taking over the region. Suddenly it wasn't about independence anymore, but about inclusion into Germany.

The Czechoslovakian government in Prague obviously hated the idea, but they were not invited to the talks in Munich. Only afterwards were they made aware of the decision that would be imposed on their nation. Who was invited was fellow fascist Mussolini from Italy, as well as France and UK, who gave in and signed this agreement, giving international support to Germany just taking over parts of neighboring nations.

Their reasoning was, if they were to disagree, Hitler would assert his will by force and take Czechoslovakia militarily, starting a large European war (that is also the reason Prague was forced to accept the decision: the alternative was a war they could never win, they could not count on any outside help). This was the so-called appeasement policy by the UK. They bought "peace" in exchange for territories they didn't own but felt the right to decide over. We all know how this heavily-priced peace turned out. At most it gave the allied forces one more year to prepare for WWII.

This isn't a peace deal, this is a conspiracy. Ukraine has zero obligation to accept any of this. However they will have to start making considerations about a Polish Underground state type of ordeal. This fighting is not going to stop for a decade more. The region is going to resemble fucking Afghanistan.

. Russia has no intention of stopping and they might as well tell MAGA to go fuck themselves, and Europe better get ready to join.

Fuck Russia!

This isn't a peace agreement, this is a rehabilitate Russia agreement.

The whole goal is for Trump to run cover for Putin and say" if you do this we'll remove all the sanctions", all the while not changing the ground war at all. (And probably throw sanctions on Ukraine at the same time).

there isn't enough rope in the world for the reckoning that's warranted.

It isn't a peace deal.

It is a deal to bully someone else together.

I don't think Ukraine will get Donbas and Crimea back. The Donetsk & Luhansk republics would violently resist any attempt by Kyiv to absorb them back into Ukraine.

that is because zelensky and europe don't want peace.

Time for Germany to build nuclear weapon stockpiles. Fuck this shit with the USA and Russia. Their Saudi Arabia meeting was another 2018 Helsinki shitshow.

Ukraine wasn’t invited to the decision to fight a proxy war either, or have its government overthrown in the Maidan Coup. And when they attempted peace talks before, their western handlers ordered them to keep fighting.

History is full of such examples

They are not in charge, the US/NATO is. They are merely only doing the fighting and dying.

As it was written decades ago by what people call a philanthropist for some reason:

the combination of manpower from Eastern Europe with the technical capabilities of NATO would greatly enhance the military potential of the Partnership because it would reduce the risk of body bags for NATO countries, which is the main constraint on their willingness to act.

AP headline: "Russia and US agree to work toward ending Ukraine war in a remarkable diplomatic shift"

They mention that Ukraine isn't even at the table several paragraphs in. Jolly.

War needed to end years ago, any end in sight should be welcomed and anyone preventing that from happening investigated.
