Russia cuts gas supply to NATO applicant, Finland

Support for joining NATO is about 70%, and their form of government does not require a referendum on every treaty question. Joining NATO is easily undone. If the Finns disagree with joining NATO, they can elect politicians that would withdraw them from NATO. It could all be done in a few days after a new government came to office.

Should Putin have had a referendum before invading Ukraine?

Ukraine had an election and the US undermined it.
Without a referendum you can't know what the Fins think- and your invented statistics are already spurious.
The Russians do not ape the mockery of democracy prevalent in the West- although ' the West ' would like them to.

A ceasefire would mean that Russian troops would begin going home (if only to be replaced with new Russian troops). That means they would begin telling people back home how badly Putin failed.

All war is failure. US vets told us how America failed- and America actually lost. Russia isn't losing- so your theory has no legs.
 
So if you use the word "or" you not saying it separates choices? Either you are an idiot or you are unfamiliar with the English language. (Those are 2 choices.)

' Heat or eat ' does NOT mean NO CHOICE, addlepate. Go away. You're either being deliberately or naturally stupid.

So it is a choice? Except one of them is not a necessary choice so they don't actually have to make a choice since they don't currently need one of the choices.
