And by that logic Russia should?

I'm ok with the non-answer

If they are human it could be dangerous for them to continue the conversation. I don't know what they believe or if they are under duress. Or they aren't and have simply had a moments reflection. Maybe not, maybe they just want to be done with this since neither of us are going to change our minds.

I'm kind of done with this too.
