I wish they had negotiated something
- -"Give me your home."
  
  "Wtf, no!"
  
  -"Well then I'll kill you for it then"
  
  Some random observer: "I wish they'd negotiated and just given the guy half of their home, then we'd not be in this situation..."
  
  Is there an adult around that could help you ?
- Yeah, if only they'd just surrendered to Putin immediately he wouldn't have had to massacre so many of them in this way. He could have done it quietly and out of sight, where it wouldn't bother us.
  
  You and 21 others think negotiation means to surrender.
  
  I hope your education wasn’t expensive.
- The only negotiation should be the timeframe when Russia leaves and goes home.
  
  The only timeline that should be accepted is “immediately”.
  
  So brave !
- Yes so they could all become Putin's slave army after he took the rest of Ukraine without fear of Western aid and set his sights on the Baltics
- The really grim thing about this ignorant comment is that everyone did
  
  Russia has Crimea because they did negotiate last time. They surrendered land for peace. And that's why it isn't happening again
  
  Death or glory eh ?
If I was in Ukraine, I'd get out.
- You mean just like how all the Jews of Europe just "got out" as the Nazis rolled over country after country?
  
  Because that sort of thing is so easy...
- You guys out in force today.
- I wish Russians thought like you do.
- If you are a man you are not allowed to leave. There are people who will promise to smuggle you out for many tens of thousands of dollars, but there's no guarantee they will succeed at doing it, or even seriously try.
