There is no hope communicating with these insane barbarians. Empathy, truth. shame and hypocrisy don't even exist. The entire society is based on brutality and brazen lies, you cannot trust anything they say. The only choice for a lasting peace for Ukraine is to keep fighting until the entire vile project of political russia collapses into something less malignant.
I understand why you can't do this kind of thing, but honestly I feel like at this point we should just be shooting the Russian spokesman with one of those 40mm non lethal shotguns if they try to stand up in the UN and say a goddamned word. Just let them fall down on the ground in their fancy suit groaning, and invite them to come back any time they want to tell their military to stop killing civilians and go the fuck home, and in the meantime just chase them down the hallway with it until they leave the building where the ladies and gentlemen are supposed to converse productively about world affairs.
And yes I understand that the ICC is the right way to go about that, and that we're specifically blocking them because WE don't want to be held accountable for our own hilarious hypocrisy about our own atrocities. For the record, I am 100% on board for doing the same thing to Israel if they say a goddamned thing, or to the US spokesman if THEY try to say anything about humanitarian situations in the Middle East. Can that be an acceptable compromise? Or maybe we can just dump like a gallon of rotten tomato soup on the Russian spokeman's head instead any time they open their mouth, so there's no potential for injury but the point can still be put across?
Edit: Fun fact! Someone actually did this in the Roman Senate. There was one guy who was doing a Mitch McConnell thing, holding things up with procedural objections because he didn't like what the outcome was going to be if they were allowed to move forward, and he kept getting away with it day after day, and finally someone snuck up behind him while he was doing it and dumped a full bucket of (I think) pig shit on his head. He came back for one more day to make a big protest like WTF they can't do that how dare you, and everyone sort of shrugged and said seems like they can, I mean they did. After that he was still technically a senator but he stayed in his house and everyone was able to get back to business.
The USSR had a shred of philosophical veneer. The kleptocratic petromafia slave “state “ that exists today is literally a nihilist barbarian horde. I like the sentiment and mental picture of your suggestions. Really speaks to the pointlessness of talking to these black hearted ghouls.
