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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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. --
If this was a board game, and the goal is to maximize the welfare of the Ukrainian people, and I was in charge of the Ukraine side I would
*1. Call for a cease fire immediately so a peace deal can be worked out.
*2. Make said deal with Putin, give Russia the territories they hold and agree to never join NATO or the EU.
*3. Tell everyone in the west who holds Ukrainian debt or claims on Ukrainian assets to get fucked.
*4. As a part of #2 above, tie the country economically to Russia and BRICS, and even see if you can get some help financially in rebuilding.
Instead, the war is going to drag on and kill so many more people, Ukraine will still lose all the territory Russia holds, and the economy is gonna be fucked for decades because of the debt; and now foreigners own all of Ukraine’s most valuable assets.
Hard to tell if the CIA or Ukranian nationalists would off you first, but that's why you play the game!
