Hell, at first you said NATO made a proposition, nicely ignoring that they didn't do such a thing at all. As I said, and as we agree, it's a nato official, blurting something out.

NATO has pushed ukraine deeper and deeper I to this conflict, casualties be damned. You speak as if the Ukrainian working class can't wait for the opportunity to get blown to pieces by artillery for some bourgeoisie state that's already stelling of the nations assets to the highest western bidder. NATO forces the Ukrainians to use counter insurgency tactis they've deployed for war crimes in the global south, expecting Ukrainian draftees to be so filled with patriotism (that, or hatred for those damned asiatic hordes) they'd happily drive into a minefield for Zelensky.

Had NATO been open to ending the war, the war would have already ended. Yet they keep sending weapons upon weapons (to what end? Do you really think ukraine is going to get crimea back? As the famed counteroffensive should point out, they're no where close, and they'll never be.)

What I'm willing to give you is that maybe now, NATO pencil pushers see the reality of the situation on the field, that the tens (hundreds?) of thousands of Ukrainians they've sent to their deaths died for absolutely nothing. Maybe now, with this nato official blurting out the thought/proposing it through a rigourus chain of command, the Ukrainians realise NATO fed them to the meat grinder to advance its own geopolitical intrests. Even if Now NATO starts to carfully think about negotiations, that doesn't undo the fact that NATO has kept this conflict going for far longer than it needed to, out of sheer self (but mainly American, see the Nord stream pipeline) intrests.

Edit, said keystone instead of nordstream pipeline

Oh shit nvm you're that 'NATO is giving guarantees to eastern Europe' guy lmao.
