How about money for reparations, and cede Russian land to Ukraine for starting all this bullshit.

The Russian government is a rogue, hostile entity at this point and it needs to be dismantled. There is no way a peaceful future is possible with Russia still existing as it does today.

Russia is a gas station cosplaying as a country.

A gas station has more civility even if it's half filled with crack addicts than the Russian government.

A mob run gas station.

Have to admit its a smart play from the orks.

  1. Rebase the western position to your previous position by convincing a narcissistic senile moron to adopt it.

  2. Move your new position to complete takeover of Ukraine.

  3. Agree to "compromise" on a new agreement that is considerably better for you than your original position.

Rhetorically it’s clever, sure, but effectively it amounts to demanding unconditional surrender or else they’ll continue to lose until demands are met

justOnePersistentKbinPlease@fedia.io on 28 Nov 21:10 collapse

Putin's leaked position at the start of this(read: take with truck of dubious salt) is that Russia had a potential armed forces pool of 25 million people.

As far as I understand that statement, until he burns through most of that, he likely won't see himself as losing.

ryannathans@aussie.zone on 27 Nov 21:53 next collapse

Crimea and Donbas sounds like a good compromise, but if accepted all these people have basically died for nothing. History aside, Crimea is ethnically Russian and wants to be Russian. Donbas is much the same but wants to be independent instead of Russian, which is basically what started the war with pre-government Azov massacring civilians in Donbas that didn’t want to be Ukrainian anymore.

You are so deluded if that’s what you make of my account

fonix232@fedia.io on 28 Nov 01:36 collapse

Bro you're literally suggesting appeasing an invading aggressor who has shown that no matter the international agreements, no matter how many times they'll promise "okay we stop now", they'll continue their warmongering.

There's no appeasing people like that. When they come up with such a ridiculous demand, you don't consider part of it, you send back an equally ridiculous demand of your own. You don't let them control the game.

Also, that whole "Crimea is actually russian" bullshit talking point is literally Russian propaganda. It's only "sort of true" today due to forced relocation of local Ukrainians to who knows where and allowing Russian nationals to move in after the annexation. Russian population was actually declining from the post-WW2 forced relocations.

Also an area having a large ethnic group - even a majority - gives no right to the home country of the ethnic group to annex the area. If that was a right, e.g. Hungary would've had a legitimate claim to most of Transylvania, Slovakia, half of Slovenia, the border regions with Croatia, Serbia, Romania, and even parts of Ukraine. Hell, imagine how easy it would be for a county to use the EU open borders to mass emigrate to another country, establish ethnic/national majority in a region just in time for census then claim that territory...

ryannathans@aussie.zone on 28 Nov 03:21 collapse

I said history aside. We can’t change that ethnic Russians were put in Crimea around 100 years ago. Do you want to displace the generations that have been living there ever since to “right the wrong”? Because of their ethnicity? It’s essentially the same thing as Israel being created in Palestine except Crimea doesn’t expand every year.

It’s about ending bloodshed in a place that has basically never seen peace. I feel like the best way to achieve that is to let the people that live there decide. Last I checked they overwhelmingly chose Russia. If those elections are disputed for whatever reason, run them again if it ends the conflict but the west doesn’t get to decide it disagrees with the election if the results are not in their interests.

It’s almost impressive how you managed to get all the bs russian talking points into such a short post. Almost.

kek_kecske_31@lemmy.world on 28 Nov 05:22 next collapse

Fuck you. All the Russian speaking Ukrainians and even the Russians themselves are suffering because of Putin’s clearly imperialist war that are based on lies and here you are spitting those lies. If you do not want to lie, then write that Ukraine is in a dire position. That is true. The rest is cheap fucking lies. Fuck you.

lemmydividebyzero@reddthat.com on 28 Nov 06:29 collapse

Crimea is ethnically Russian and wants to be Russian. Donbas is much the same

  1. With this logic, the whole Europe would be at war right now.

  2. Is this based on elections like on Crimea that happened during war and were only recognized by North Korea, Serbia, Iran and like 2 other countries? BTW: If you invade a country and kill the people there and other have to run away or hide, they can’t vote anymore. eLeCtIoN

You fuckers put Trump in charge. You’re still not getting what you want but for a totally different reason this time.

I hope everyone who abstained/protest voted is happy that they voted for this

They don’t vote for this either. Stop trying to press the idea of you are with us or against us. That shit is exactly what got us into this mess!

fonix232@fedia.io on 28 Nov 01:01 next collapse

Nah. There was a clear choice between letting shit get much worse, or picking a sane-ish candidate.

FPTP means you don't vote for the candidate you like the most, but rather the candidate that will do the least damage. Even if you have to hold your nose. Voting for Kamala at that point wasn't a vote for her but a vote against the orange turd.
