Russians are incapable of good faith negotiations.

I believe you mean Russian heads of government and military.

Have to disagree with you on this one, with the clarification that I am refering to matters of geopolitics. What you are implying doesn't align with factual research and well, historical fact (do not forget that the russians occupied Moldova as far back as the early 90s, putin was no where near power back then).

Happy to share; there are some really interesting approaches that lay bare the childishness of typical arguments on this topic. "How can you do polling in a country like russia, they are all afraid!" Turns out professionals in this sphere do have methods. 😀

But I am curious if you have something more concrete that you wanted to expand on with respect to what you are saying or if this just a general thought on your part.

Its a blanket statement. Further precision in your statement is necessary to be factual.

On one hand I agree with you as I know several russians who are capable of good faith.

One could say:

At the very least a strong majority of russians, and more likely an overwhelming majority, are incapable of good faith thinking/negotiations with respect to geopolitics. Even many allegedly opposition-minded "liberal" russians such as Navalniy and his movements has shown support for the annexation of Crimea and denied the genocidal atrocities committed by russians in Chechnya in the 90s.

I will note that your statement is factually false:

I believe you mean Russian heads of government and military [are incapable of good faith negotiations].

This is basically white washing russian genocidal imperialism.

Again, do you have something concrete to back up the above-mentioned viewed? Surely it should go both ways?

It was true. I stated what I believed you to have meant. I didn't put forth an opinion on it.

How could you have thought that was true? It would be impossible for me to think that as there is documented evidence to the contrary.

At any rate, do you have something concrete to say or where you just being pedantic about "all russians" verses "At the very least a strong majority of russians...?"
