he was ready for peace talks 3 days into invasion (russian military backed down, preparing for negotiations), but got talked out of it by Boris Johnson.
Nowadays his entire existence hinges on the war continuing. If it stops - no matter who wins, he will lose his seat, then get murdered.
Quenching the conflict over Donbass and Crimea was the main point of his election campaign. People on both sides believed he would finally put an end to it, after the low times under Poroshenko. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad, how it turned out in the end.
Pretty much. Dude's stuck between a rock and a hard place. If he steps down, his propaganda machine has made it so he'll probably get executed for betraying Ukraine. If he doesn't, he's stuck in a war he knows he can't win without NATO troops.
Oh it's you, idiot and Russia shill.
Do you wet your panties everytime Putin gets a new yacht, goes through another round of Botox or assassinates another journalist?
Your comment adds no value and we're all worse off as a group for reading your ad hominem vitriol. Please go and sit in the corner and think about how useless you have been until you have something constructive to share.
Here is something constructive: the Russian Mafia state might just collapse soon, giving a window to hundreds of colonized peoples, like Chechens, Dagestanis, Mongols, Tatars, etc, a chance for freedom.
Russian nationalism is stronger in the rural areas than the urban ones... Odd, don't you think?
All the colonized Native American tribes first..
Hey did anybody else consider the relevance of what happened in America? Have you guys heard? About America? America. What about America. No forget Russia, we're taking about America right now! America...
This entire comment thread pretends like their poop doesn't stink while telling someone else their poop stinks. American Exceptionalism is a bad thing to defend.
Hey, guys what about America!? Did anybody hear about America? AMERICAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!
Preach it brother, there's not enough people on Lemmy talking about US war crimes and foreign meddling.
Right? Every time somebody mentions something bad about Russia or the CCP, we should remind those yanks about how bad America is! Every time! Because we care about justice and peace soooooooo much. Hey guys.... MURCA BAD
He's getting it...
Guys, I also heard that Germany did some bad stuff. Maybe we should bring that up too?
Oooh so now you go from "Russia is the bestest, Ukraine nazis" to "whuddabout" as you run out of anything constructive to say.
Not at all, I just think these comments are disingeneous and filled with fallacies. We use the same arguments when we pollute the earth (other countries should lead by example if we should stop polluting), so why does the same not apply to foreign interference? Maybe the USA should remove its 800+ military bases around the world before telling other countries they can't interfere in another countries sovereignty. Imagine a country saying, USA please leave. Do you think the USA will just say, "OK sure I'll pull all my troops out tomorrow."
It adds plenty. You are shilling for the worst, most russophobic, thieving, murderous, most brutal mafia in the world.
No I am not shilling for the CIA thank you.
Oooh, what a great comeback.
In the meantime 1/4 of Russians shit in a hole in the ground for lack of plumbing while their children die in Ukraine with shit equipment so that Putin and his Mafia can collect mansions, private jets and yachts.
If the CIA really wanted to kill Russians they couldn't have done it better.
It's pretty clear the CIA wants dead Ukranians, 60,000 this summer ☹️
Nobody is forcing Ukraine to fight. > 90% want their country back, based on latest polls.
Isn't this coming from the same country that literally cancelled elections and started hunting down and imprisoning opposition political parties?
If they held elections Russia would bomb the polling sites.
It's dangerous and costly, and r/n Ukraine is under martial law for good reason.
Ah, but that doesn't mean you should start prosecuting your opposition.
If the opposition supports the enemy, you perhaps should.
Edit: you asshats think Russia should allow pro-Ukraine parties to run for the Duma, or the presidency? Or is it always a double standard with you?
Want their country back != will fight to the death for it. Also share the poll please I can't find anything recent.
As if Snowden is free, lol.
