What do you think about NATO offering to withdraw nukes from Europe in exchange for ending the Ukraine invasion?

The ridiculous question above was asked on Quora (quora.com) and the answer below was offered by quoran Alan Taylor. I love his answer and support it 100%.

How about this? The West will agree to lift all its sanctions against Russia as soon as Russia does the following:

1) Removes all its troops and agents from Ukrainian soil, including the Donbas and Crimea

2) Returns to Ukraine all the people that have been relocated into Russia since February 24, including the children

3) Releases all prisoners of war currently in Russian custody

4) Agrees to pay reasonable reparations to Ukraine out of its assets seized by Western banks

5) Denounces the statehood of the Donetsk People’s Republic and the Luhansk People’s Republic and formally recognizes such territories as oblasts of a sovereign Ukraine

6) Completely denuclearizes, allowing UN agents to inspect, remove, and insure the safe disposal of all Russian nuclear warheads

7) Renounces nuclear weapons and agrees to unfettered UN inspections of all Russian nuclear facilities to insure that Russia never attempts to re-nuclearize

8) Surrenders its seat on the UN security council

That sounds like a good plan to me.

Me too. Number two is especially important to me. Thousands (maybe tens of thousands) of non-combatant civilians have been involuntarily "depopulated" from Ukraine and moved to labor camps in Russia. This crime against humanity must be reversed.

Number six and seven are necessary because no country in the history of the world has threatened nuclear war as often or to the extent that Russia has in 2022. They can no longer be allowed to possess such weapons.

Your thoughts?

So... in that exchange Russia gains nothing? Just no more sanctions?
