The West is a de facto belligerent, hence the sanctions from the West against Russia. You will also hear the West being referred to by Russia when they cite their reasons for going to war in the first place. The West is heavily involved in the conflict, and the West will be heavily involved in the conflict’s ending. They will be heavily involved in peace negotiations.

I accept that the relative strength of each party will make a difference when negotiating. A defeated party won’t be able to negotiate anything. But a stalemate were nobody is winning and everybody is losing could allow for flexibility in negotiation, and neither you or I know whether the blanket ban on all Russian entities doing business with the West will be up for discussion or not.

Personally, I think it will be up for discussion when it comes to the negotiation of peace, and I don’t expect the blanket ban on all Russian entities to continue indefinitely.

I'm afraid you're wrong in that thinking

The West are also not belligerents. If we were we would be at war with Russia. But we are not
 
Again. You're misreading the situation entirely

There is no imminent prospect of sanctions being removed even if Putin were removed tomorrow
I'm not saying there is any such imminent potential. In the world of realpolitik however, all options will be on the table if any when the dwarf is toppled. It's well known that he is supported by a circle of several oligarchs with tawdry histories. Any regime change is likely to start with and, at least include, one of those and they will be a feature in settlement negotiations.

To the extent that extends to include specific oligarchs who may have influence with Everton or any other clubs, that's anyones guess and won't be clear until we get to a post current Russian leadership situation. The outcome of the US election in November is also a key factor. Nothing is imminent.

Are you a full-time blert, or just a part-time one?

You are supposedly legally trained, and yet you are presenting like a giddy moron when you feel the need to differentiate between ‘de jure’ and ‘de facto’ belligerents in a war.

To act like the West are not intrinsically involved in this war is just faux naïf, I’m afraid.

There are only two belligerents. Russia (the aggressor) and Ukraine.

That is fact. Whether you think I'm a "blert" or not
 
You won't find me on here of a match day.

I’m not doing this.

I’m not going to argue with a moron that is pretending to misunderstand the difference between de jure and de facto, especially when said moron is making his own references to the G7 discussing the possibility of sanctions against China due to the alleged assistance that China is providing to Russia’s war effort.

Have a day off, mate!

"Have a day off" that was yesterday mate

You've come on spouting that sanctions removal is on the table. It's nonsense because there is no chance of that. Even if Donald Trump got in the White House.
