Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
Is it bitter and short sighted to say that as much as I dislike modern Russia, I just want the West to lose badly and be humiliated?
America specifically is the number one obstacle to human progress on so many fronts. Its hegemony needs to be destroyed utterly. I don't like Russia either but there's no way they become a force for evil on the same scale in a multipolar world.
No, at this point clearly the way to save the most lives is for Kiev to capitulate
I think the best outcome would be some negotiated settlement where the separatist territories get some sort of semi-autonomous status, halfway between being Ukraine and being Russia, but more importantly that it’s China that brokers the negotiations. Release valve gets put on the pressure cooker, but Zelensky essentially abandoning the U.S./West as the path out of this in favor of someone that can talk to Russia instead of talk down to Russia. Absolute humiliation for the DC blob.
give me one reason why I should have been rooting for both sides to lose
