      Chomsky's "way the world works" argument doesn't make sense either on a moral or a level level. First, of all you could apply the same logic to Palestine: "Well, look you just need to accept you're a defeated people, continuing to resist is just creating bloodshed etc."

      Any plausible 2-state solution, including ones acceptable to Palestinian leaders (and presumably Chomsky) , would involve much more concessions of sovereignty & (proportionally) land than then Ukrainians are being asked.

      Negotiations are going on right now. The stuff under negotiation is what is being disputed. It's weird for outsiders to insist on maximalist positions that go beyond what Ukraine is staking out.

          The position you were articulating sounded like you think Ukraine should continue fighting at the expense of negotiations, since war is going well for them. Which makes a certain degree of sense but carries very high costs as well.

          The negotiations have pretty much stopped entirely as Russia is preparing an attempt at conquering the remaining parts of the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts.

          Why are you, as an outsider, a Palestinian maximalist then?

          Where do people get the idea that the US or Ukraine is rejecting negotiations? The Russian side invaded unilaterally and broke off negotiations and has not engaged in good-faith negotiations since, arguing for "denazification" as a reason to destroy Ukraine/Ukrainians as a nation

          Negotiations are not in fact going on right now, Russia pulled out several days ago (and hasn't made a good faith offer at any point). The biggest sticking point in a peace deal won't be territory, it will be security guarantees.https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-04-12/putin-says-ukraine-peace-talks-at-dead-end-vows-to-pursue-war …

          lol Russia has been negotiating for years and Ukraine was in bad faith, bullied by the far-right nationalists He supported Minsk, and then turned on it and started killing people in the Donbas with his militant buddies. There is still communication between both sides.

          Zelensky has repeatedly said that absolutely no concession of territory is on the table.
