There was no way to live “peacefully”. The story of more “advanced” cultures overwhelming/displacing less advanced ones happened thousands of times throughout human history all over the globe, such as what happened to the Neanderthals.
The Incas “colonized” most of South America before they were in turn colonized.
It is something akin to “if we didn’t eat meat” there would millions of food animals grazing peacefully everywhere. Not realistic.
Native Americans could not coexist peacefully with the white settlers because they couldn’t compete for resources and land in technology and in numbers.
It is not to say there weren’t terrible things done to Native Americans in the process. But the idea that the Native American culture could have survived side by side with the white settler culture if only they had been “nicer to the Indians” is hogwash.
In Brazil, the government created large reservations as late as the mid 20th century to protect native tribes. In many cases the tribes themselves started selling lumber and destroying their land, or allowing for mining ventures that polluted it, rather than continuing to live in their traditional manner. With modern weapons and fishing techniques they over hunted and over fished their land. They did it because they wanted the things they saw the whites had, and the tribal leaders started buying motor boats and airplanes and trucks. In other words, the two systems could not coexist side by side.

The Amish are an example of a culture that refuses to be “colonized”. They resist the temptation of modern technology for transportation and for their farms.
But even so, they are not immunized from the majority culture. Their buggies are frequently hit by cars, and the government constantly seeks to interfere with their businesses and farms. They lose many members who decide to live a different life.
And even the Amish are “evolving”. They don’t drive, but they now they can be driven around if they can justify it is needed for their business. There are quite a few people making a living being chaffeurs for the Amish. They can’t use electricity but they can use battery operated wheelchairs and elevators and other health devices if approved by the deacon. They no longer live in a barter society, most of them depend on the English to buy their products to survive.

Their persistent claims that the bureau was politicized under previous directors, in addition to their swift actions against colleagues, have left employees to wonder whether they, too, will be ousted, either because they worked on an investigation vilified by Trump supporters or had ties to the previous administration.”

Unfortunately, Ukraine does have a history of pogroms against Jews and the massacre of Poles in Volhynia did happen.
Of course, Chicon supports Russia, no stranger to genocide.
“The Katyn massacre was a series of mass executions of nearly 22,000 Polish military and police officers, border guards, and intelligentsia prisoners of war carried out by the Soviet Union, specifically the NKVD (the Soviet secret police), at Joseph Stalin‘s order in April and May 1940. Though the killings also occurred in the Kalinin and Kharkiv NKVD prisons and elsewhere, the massacre is named after the Katyn forest, where some of the mass graves were first discovered by Nazi German forces in 1943.
The massacre is qualified as a crime against humanity, crime against peace, war crime[and (within the Polish Penal Code) a Communist crime.According to a 2009 resolution of the Polish parliament’s Sejm, it bears the hallmarks of a genocide.”

What it means in a nutshell.
“As Poland’s new president, Nawrocki is likely to continue to use his presidential power of veto to block Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s pro-EU programme.
The result is also likely to re-energise Nawrocki’s supporters, the national conservative Law and Justice (PiS) opposition, which lost power eighteen months ago, giving them renewed belief they will be able to defeat Tusk’s coalition in 2027 parliamentary elections.
Nawrocki supports traditional Catholic and family values and is a strong supporter of Polish sovereignty within the EU.
He backs continued support for Ukraine, but has said he does not want to see the country joining NATO and the EU during Russia’s ongoing aggression.
Poland’s president is a largely ceremonial role with limited influence on foreign policy and defence, but the president can veto legislation. Tusk’s pro-EU coalition government lacks a large enough parliamentary majority to overturn it.”

He needs to be MADE to believe it is Russia’s interests to reach a deal (he won’t reach a deal that he can’t portray as a win at home). The drone attack helps that effort.
As explained ad nauseum to Bitter and Jason, an endless dribble of weapons and money from America to Ukraine ain’t a plan and won’t be tolerated here for long.

What would Putin brag about? He just lost significant aircraft – none of which would have been destroyed except for the invasion

Read George Kennan’s book “Why They Behave Like Russians” about the Russian culture.
In negotiations with the west who believes in compromise, they really want one thing, but they will demand 13 things. And they walk away with 6 things of the 13th demands.

What would Putin brag about?
What rhetorical nonsense! Neither Putin nor Zelenskyy have anything to brag about, in lieu of so many people on both sides dying because of their stubborn leadership. You must like war, Bitter. I don’t, especially one that could have been resolved a long time ago. In the meantime Putin lost a percentage of his planes, while the majority remain intact. What does a wounded animal do after he has been attacked? That’s a question that has yet to be answered by Putin as to the recourse he will take. But he will retaliate.

A comment by another poster:
“Poke the Bear and find out. I fear Zelensky just started WWIII. I hope he’s told his people to flee as Putin won’t let this go without retaliation & for those cheering Zelensky, I hope you’re right with God because all he$$ is about to break lose.”
Exactly……

Maybe Ukrainians are relieved that those destroyed bombers won’t attack them anymore.

I feel sorry for you, Jan. You would find a justification if the J6ers had burned DC but you are upset Ukraine took out weapons that would be used to kill them.
