I dunno, do you have nuclear weapons that could cause the apocalypse?
Countries aren't people. The scale the work on is much greater.
The thing with nukes is that it’s suicide, and they know it. So they just use the threat of it to get whatever they want, in the hopes that the people in charge are like you and will just flop over to their demands whenever they dangle the threat.
Do you actually still think Russia is a 100% rational actor?
So, how would a peace treaty work with a non rational actor?
Let him think he won.
