Former President Donald Trump says Ukraine should have made concessions to Russian President Vladimir Putin instead of going to war with its invading neighbor.
I suppose it’s considered acceptable for the Ukrainian people to suffer like that for the sake of the state interests of Ukraine and NATO, but personally I disagree, which is why I want the war to end. I personally don’t see how continued fighting is meant to benefit the average Ukrainian.
As a tankie, I oppose virtually all war, because that’s what being a tankie means. I don’t consider it acceptable for Russia to knock out the ability for people to heat their homes.
It’s minimal effort to inform users of the truth when I see you spreading yet more disinformation in one of these communities we both browse.
If you want to play make-believe, wouldn’t you have more fun on your .ml instance where the admins treat facts with the same disdain you do? Not sure why you bring these takes outside of the echo chamber if you don’t like getting called out.
You do have a point, it’s probably better to spend time on instances where people have the same disdain for facts that I do (none) as opposed to instances where people have a much higher disdain for facts, as evidenced by the fact that you’re allowed to run around telling blatant lies about people constantly.
Sounds good. You can enjoy the purely factual praise of Russia, China, and North Korea on the .ml and hexbear instances, safely sheltered by admins who view those countries with a purely objective lens.
You understand that stopping fighting would in no way benefit the average Ukrainian and I think most people would agree your nation no longer existing would be the least beneficial thing for Ukraine.
I’m genuinely curious: we all want the way to stop but I really do want to know what’s your solution?

No, I do not “understand” this at all. The average Ukrainian would certainly be better off of the fighting stopped.
and I think most people would agree your nation no longer existing would be the least beneficial thing for Ukraine.
First off, Ukraine “no longer existing” isn’t really on the table. Secondly, while a state no longer existing is obviously a bad outcome from the perspective of the state, whether it’s good or bad for the average person, and to what degree, depends on the state and what the alternative is.
I’m not aware of very much that the Ukrainian state was doing to help it’s people before the war, or what rights people living in the disputed territories would enjoy as part of Ukraine as opposed to if they were part of Russia, or vice versa. So I see very little case for supporting either side in the war, from the perspective of class interests as distinct from state interests.

Negotiate. Diplomatic approaches have been completely written off from start to finish, with Ukraine insisting on a complete withdrawal from all disputed territory as a precondition for talks, even from Crimea, which Russia already had before the war. Some territorial concessions are worth it to stop the meat grinder, because the amount of lives that would have to be sacrificed to reclaim all the territory are not worth the benefit.
That user is an accelerationist who wants Donald to drive the US into the ground so China can gain more global influence. They’re deliberately unwilling to confront facts, as you can see by the suggestion of Ukraine negotiating with country notorious for failing to honor its treaties.
Y’all just casually lie about people constantly, all the time and none of you ever see anything wrong with it whatsoever. You’re backing up someone who is blatantly lying, and who constantly lies about my positions. Back up their claims then, if you claim they’re not a liar, if you claim that “it doesn’t seem like they’re wrong.” Show me that you don’t just blindly accept claims with zero evidence. Show me that you’re not a liar just like they are.

That is accurate, their opinion of you isn’t something I can verify but calling for Ukraine to surrender is actually accelerationist behavior so…

No the question was why the attack was acceptable but incredible pivot on the question. That must have taken years of training.

You just prefer having the human rights abuses against populations that lack the means for defense, like when it happens to Uyghurs.
Do you ever get tired of following me around and telling lies?

How? Russia won’t leave and they aren’t tasting anyone well, kidnapping kids during the war kinda tells you everything you need to know.
It 100% is, give in this time and they’ll do it again just like last time.
So you’re ignorant but insist your opinion is correct?
They’ve tried, Russia says give up territory or die, no middle ground. This is very well documented.

Every word you speak is a lie. Are you even capable of being truthful?
I mean judging by what I’ve seen it doesn’t seem like they’re wrong.
Your stance is at best naively idealistic or at worst incredibly ill informed, stupid and legitimately dangerous.
