As for the final part of the Musk peace plan: Ukraine has always been neutral, insofar as NATO would not accept it as a member. That did not prevent Putin from invading it in 2014 or again in 2022.
While Musk evidently knows little about Ukraine, I give him credit for good intentions: It is painful to watch the war grind on, at great cost to human life, and it is frightening to listen to Putin’s. This can lead to a natural impulse to try to “solve” the problem — to try to figure out some magical formula that would satisfy both sides and bring peace. But if that formula existed, it would already have been implemented.
War occurs when at least one side does not think that there is a peaceful way to redress its demands. In this case, there is a fundamental disagreement between Putin and the people of Ukraine: The Ukrainians think they are entitled to be an independent nation state with friendly relations with the West. Putin does not; as he has often made clear, he views Ukraine as aThe war would end today if Putin would simply give up his imperial dreams.
He doesn’t have the formula that pleases the so called freeworld wishes. But, got a point. Could be a solution that serves the point of less loss of life, but economical LESS interesting for EU and US.
If the problem isn't territory then the problem are the frontiers, if Ukrainians and Russians could cross countries without passport then there would be no wars, and the sovereignty of regions wouldn't be that important. Both should join EU.
Musk's suggestions are really rational and reasonable. That they didn't get more votes is because the majority of people did not vote.
Of course he does not, US does not want that happening...
nonsense
So far, no one does.
Cia-mosaad’s war
If Crimea is in Russia, Moscow will have a stranglehold on Ukraine‘s commerce, as it has done before. Ukraine would lose most of its coastline and its resources.Elon Musk should reconsider his proposal. Moscow has clearly expressed its desire to wipe out Ukraine in the past
Russia does not respect any agreement it makes with Ukraine, never has, simply because Kremlin is totally against Ukraine existing as a nation or a country. If Ukraine is not in NATO and EU, Russia will attack Ukraine again and again that is an absolute certainty.
I know who Elon is, but who the heck is Max Boot? Just asking?
Max Boot? Cringe!
Mahsa_Amini Woman_Life_Freedom OpIran Iran_Freedom
elonmusk has a valid plan for ending the war and preventing a nuclear Armageddon
Why would we even consider listening to this man?
He doesn't have the formula for a successful self-driving car either...
Elon! Great plan to save the planet. Let's build a star ship and send all the earths plutocrats to live on Mars. Let's make sure that Rupert Murdock and Vlad Putin are on the first flight. They can put their plans for world domination into full effect, immediately.
Did we need an opinion piece to tell us this?
but Biden has....
The west needs to maintain their multi-national money laundering operation there and is not interested in peace
Veto of Joe Biden and Boris Johnson on Ukraine and Russia peace agreement two weeks before the war should be a war crime to change the regime in Russia. Would you allow Putin to overthrow the democrats of USA and put another government?
Neither does slow Joe.
Ha ha ha. Max Boot vs Elon Musk is like a snail vs Einstein. Please.
This is Realpolitik where Musk understands that The Kremlin (it's not just Putin) will NOT let go of Crimea. Musk wants to save lives which will assuredly be lost because there is no end in sight. Musk knows that Russia will fully mobilize if necessary - that's scary!
So nobody can 'win' the argument that Max Boot (and numerous others) is right and Musk is wrong. One can even go back Prince Vladimir (the leader of the Rus / Russian people) who was the Grand Prince of Kiev. It's all back and forth nonsense.
Elon Musk is a pragmatic survivor - that's one reason why he's the richest person in the world - figuring out ways to save failing businesses before they die so they wind up flourishing. He's also brilliant in more ways than one.
Musk is only important in his own mind.
Of course mainstream mouthpieces don’t like his formula.
Sorry, WSJopinion - you don’t have the right to help deny the actual reality of the situation and prolong a war that could conceivably end in nuclear Armageddon
The “open minded left” struggles to listen to potential solutions from people they disagree with on principal. They’re blinded by their divisive politics.
It’s the best and most realistic solution I’ve heard
What a Scumbag this Mr. Apartheid!
Does He don’t know Putin Troops Invade Ukraine?
The sexual predator has no solutions
To reward evil is wrong, period. Putin, Medvedev, and company have proven themselves to be some of the most evil men on the planet.
I’ll bet Old vacant Joe or nut Harris can solve the issue of world peace, oh wait, I know, Klain…and the rest of Obama’s old cabinet will save us😂😂😂
you have fail to succeed in disorganising Russia like you did in Iraq and Afghanistan. where were you to criticize the USA by that time selfish maneater. Its the same things you did to Africans then pretend to love them.
wonder how musky would feel about Putin just taking Tesla?🤣
Since when is living under a brutal military occupation peace ? Millions of Ukrainians died the last time they were ruled from Moscow. This is pro Russian war propaganda
Can Putin win without destroying the vast majority of Ukraine’s infrastructure? Is it a win if there’s nothing left in ukraine? Can Ukraine defeat Russia? No. Best move: on the 11th day of the 11th month this year at 11:00 GMT, all hostilities cease and borders are where they are
Elon has now formula than corrupt media all run by Democrats just as yours is. We in the UK get real news and your media is shocking. Why you want to destroy your own country with fake news every day is beyond us. Are u better off today than when Trump was in, answers NO
MaxBoot His hubris has no limit. Great for building rockets—catastrophic for geo politics. Guarantee he’ll tell himself some day, “I should run for President”.
He does, but the Empire doesn't like it. It's that simple.
End it now.
Please see my tweet, previous to Mr.Musk's tweet, on how to end the war in Ukraine.
.elonmusk would do far better to keep his big mouth firmly shut, & his tweeting fingers a very long rest, so that he didn't embarrass himself. Being very rich doesn't make you an authority on anything, & is no proof you've got any brains!
He and Mike the expensive Pillow Man need to stay out of politics and mind their own business.
Even iron man himself won't end it. Biden's Minders won't let anyone end the war..
In closed mouth no flies (MUSKAS) enter
EASY-PEASY to end the war NOT just in Ukraine but all over the world. 1. EVIL US govt shud introspect and REMOVE the 'infinite greed n blood lust' from their own minds. 2. If it can't, then Rest of the World must join together and FORCIBLY REMOVE 'THIEVERY' from US Govt's minds
Apparently Russia responded to Elon Musk revealing the WashingtonPost supports thermal Nuclear war. We won't forgive you this time.
Max boot probably called anyone questioning the war in Iraq a terrorist lover.
It's alot better idea than the Blinking strategy.
To even humor this autocrat-suck up fraudster elonmusk with an OpEd knocking down his Kremlin talking point-laden tweets is a victory for this attention-seeking grifter.
Send trump.
He reminds me of someone 🤔
First sensible thing Elon has done.
Mad enough 4 you global CNBC 300 Mr.J.Cramer Shop until you fall in nowadays global convenient store.
Thanks you Washingtonpist
Opinion by MaxBoot
Nobody
No one needed this many words to dismiss elonmusk. His Tweets were only worthy of ridicule. I beg you not to take him seriously.
Elon doesn’t has all the answers 🤦🏻♂️
I blew this one too...
No shit!
The US government (democrats & some repubs) want this war to keep going. If we had real media in this country they'd be asking why and who benefits.
Don't search for 'Tornado Battalion Ukraine'
nah hes autistic man some time he evaluates life differently.
Yes
I believe he has and have offered it the earlier you realize it the better
He has
End?I DON'T WAR THIS WAR TO END!! I WANNA KNOW WHY WE HAD WORLD WAR WITH CCP WHEN WE COULD HAVE JUST DEFEATED THEM BY USING UKRAINE. SEEMS UKRAINE IS THE REAL SUPER POWER (at least by the propaganda being televised)
He did good poopaganda for the ruZZians
😂 Only the post would pay for a known war monger, who has backed all of the wrong wars, to be the voice of what the US should do in this current proxy war.
Peace talks should have happened months ago.
I hope Putin stops this madness he has power to stop this .
Any ElonMusk plan is better than any POTUS Brandon has proposed! LetsGoBrandon UltraMAGA2024
Peace, please!
Elon Musk's tweets look very stupid. He does not understand anything about the roots and causes of the Russian-Ukrainian war. At the same time, he gives advice. The whole world should pray and help Ukraine. Ukraine is the salvation of Europe from barbarians, marauders sadists
He has no idea
Wow, a man who has fought served dedicated his life for the love of his people. And some mean girl energy turns the entire world against him. The formula is simple, people have been taught to believe it's rational to hate authority instead of respecting it. Give the man his due.
what he said is a fact
Peace comes when the agressor stops attacking , not when the victim stops defending. Elon is saying that if 🇷🇺 attacks USA, USA should not fight back cos it can escalate to big losses
Putin is moving nuclear train. elonmusk want to go negotiate with him. Put your balls where your mouth is ?
elonmusk formula for PEACE will work. It’s obvious & easily achievable.
L'industrie de la mort et ses moyens de propagande s'en prennent frontalement à toute initiative visant la Paix dans ce conflit en Ukraine. Les esprits libres le comprennent.
Stick to ending battles on your assembly lines
So no Nobel peace prize ? Shocked .
He's just making a proposal for peace, the world wants peace, don't let gas keep leaking, don't damage the environment, this summer is too hot
What he has is concern over human lives. He did not try to be a superhero and try to end Ukraine war.
Max wants war so badly he can taste it.
Why would Elon Musk have a formula for peace in Ukraine? Because he is Elon Musk?
The formular is stop support Ukraine elonmusk
Doch sowohl hat er! Die Formel des Krieges der Ukraine setzt das Auge Starlink voraus. Sollte dieser Satellit der in Echtzeit die Truppenbewegungen Russlands dokumentiert, abgeschaltet sein, unterliegen auch die USStreitkräfte in der ukrainischen Armee. POTUS RusBotschaft
dictators and communists are greedy killing demons that are the cause of wars and epidemics they are always looking for ways to destroy the free world that god has given mankind so we together send it to hell where it was born
Nobody care about media outlet who is run by state department.
This guy have a real passport?
At least he’s trying to end it and not escalate it by making it some nostalgic fantasy story around Zelensky the comedian
🌹 Self-aggrandizement is a tempting but defeating mistress. 🤔
His nonchalant, petulant, arrogance is getting on my nerves, bigly so.
Max Boot: arch Neocon, and no a darling of war monger liberals. He's got moves: I will give him that.
I am so shocked when he said he wants Russians hold Crimia.
Dear Washington Post. Twitter has degenerated to a dump of shit by a Pro-🇺🇦 organized group flooding each and every peace suggestion with insults and hate. The DefenceU is losing sympathy by the minute. The 🇺🇦 just lost my support.
Elon makes himself an easy target by jumping into lanes he knows nothing about.
Who’s Elon Musk?
continue with your antics and that's how they finish criticizing you
Musk would be better off getting Tesla to meet production quotas.
I think Elon musk got this part right, but I’m still mad at him for helping Ukraine put out lots of propaganda via the Internet connection Elon musk provided. You know it is propaganda when Ukraine tells a story instead of showing a video of Russians doing something bad.
What about, the Donbas and Crimea being returned to Ukraine and a non-aggression agreement with a no NATO deployment agreement in those territories? However, Ukraine outside those demilitarized zones would be a NATO/EU member. .. in essence, a buffer zone within Ukraine
He downs have the formula for Twitter. He’s really bad at twittering.
That's because chaps like you have no interest in ending the war.
His ideas are CERTAINTLY a massive improvement on the current NATO-US-UK line - that's for sure. You people puishing this waar have no idea what you are unleashing here.
But then Joe Biden umm..umm..what am I doing here
I need toilet paper but your newspapers are too expensive, please think about middle clss people and lower the prices, new your times doesnt do the job now. I mix both washingtonpost ans nytime
How would you know?
If we send a bunch of martians to russia we can beat this thing guys
Musk threw into Ukraine's outhouse a package of yeast. The brown liquid is foaming to the brim
Holy shit even Max Bootlicker has stopped clock moments?
Starling over Russia ... soon!🙂
For sure elonmusk doesn't have the formula to solve the war in ucraine, but neither do you or any other 'expert'. Difference is that , you only try to argue that it's an impossible to solve problem.
Shouldn’t shame elonmusk for trying. It’s worth a shot. You lefties love war…long, slow, eternal wars. The corruption is evident in knocking a pretty well known, respected world wide, billionaire trying to think outside the box. That’s more than JoeBiden (sucks) has done!
WE KNOW YOU WILL ALWAYS SUPPORT WAR WAPO
Elon forgot the nukes. Somebody needs to nuke somebody and everything will be fine. Just fine.
He's sweeping for bots. He's playing 4D chess.
Bro you're Max Boot, why would anyone listen to your opinion about ending wars
Elon Musk's so-called proposal is to allow Russia to destroy Ukraine. I wish there could be a diplomatic settlement to the war, but ceding Ukrainian territory to the Russians is a farcical proposal that will invite future aggression from Moscow. Ukraine needs to win this war.
🇨🇳🇷🇺🎙️💀💀💀💀💀🎙️🇨🇳🇷🇺
Washington post opinion is akin to toilet paper.
just responded to one of the tweets of musk about what I have done since the war, some how it got deleted. once again just because your rich does not give you there right to tell other people what to do, yes he did do a lot, but some gave all, like there lives
It’s a simple and good idea to save lives.
Elon only wants to be talked about. His products suck, he's never invented a single thing.. USA's biggest fraud.
Макс, а ну хрюкни, Хайль Путлер!!!!
Western media's formula
He is a Tech guy and is Good at it...Why is he dabbling into Politics in which it's obvious from his Tweet he hasn't a Clue😔
Weird Max boot has this position… oh never mind, it’s max boot after all.
How it started: Genius introduces fully electric vehicle and ushers in a new era in space exploration. How it's going: Billionaire lunatic pretends to purchase Twitter – to own the libs – and proclaims that he can broker world peace from his mom's basement.
What does he have, except some money?
MSM is so pathetic. You can take a simple exchange of ideas, of people simply trying to solve a common problem, and turn it into a gossip column line of BULLS🤬T! This is why people don't trust MSM anymore. This is WHY we don't believe a F🤬KING word you have to say.. JFC!
BRAKING NEWS: Newspapers have been profiting off war and creating it.
He’s still trying to dry off after realizing his truck doesn’t actually float
Sorry Max Boot the United States politicians are but jobs with no sense of reality or boundaries. Power is not forever.
I hate Musk. But I like what he did for Florida two days ago.
If you think the formula starts with 'pweeeese Russia, pweeeese give up', then you're a loser.
This guy is going downhill
The USA formula is sacrifice every ukronazi
Russian propaganda? Musk simply has no moral compass.
I personally can't stand elonmusk but at least he is trying to offer solutions apart from WW3, what is Biden doing but the standard practice of promoting and excusing American hegemony?
Max boots answer is to send them a bunch of weapons made by American companies paid for by the US government
Pretty remarkable that you guys fired Balko but kept whatever this is
That was fast
The guy who made 'subways but worse by every metric' has terrible opinions on foreign policy, color me shocked
About to be a lot more war heading to Ukraine
'Everyone always does what I tell them so I will tell the world what to do.'
Lol MaxBoot!
What a surprise, Max boot is trying to direct us away from peace towards war
Musk's only aim might be Saving Private Investor Musk. - His company group risks going belly up due to the rate hike and energy crisis. The quick fix is a peace so the West can start buying Russian gas again. Easy peasy.
Why do you still call it 'the Ukraine war'? This is ridiculous.
‘Sorry…’ is such an obnoxious snobby arrogant title. Immediate 🤮. Won’t ever read what you’re writing. Shut up
Bidens formula is to throw taxpayer money at it
Is this Bezos taking a jibe at Elon?
And there is no planet B.
