    You don’t get to claim territory militarily. It doesn’t fucking matter if people voted (and since when do you guys care about electoralism anyway?)

    You’re seriously taking Putin’s justification for the war at face value? I know I shouldn’t expect much from Americans, but holy fucking shit. Let’s say it again for the dumb fucks in the room: Putin is a self-serving bastard. Nothing he says can be trusted. He’s not pursuing some noble goal of pushing back NATO, or whatever stupid shit you believe.

    Ukraine is a sovereign nation and can negotiate peace whenever they want, but they’re not going to accept giving up territory that was taken militarily, because it sets a really fucking bad precedent. Every single state in the world would do exactly the same, including Russia incidentally. If Russia had a region with an ethnic Ukrainian majority do you think they would accept losing that territory? Get the fuck outta here.

      This is a childlike worldview. Ukraine has almost already lost the war. Do you really want them to literally fight to the last Ukrainian?

      Also Putin is just one person. What about the rest of the material conditions?

        I’m not stating an opinion about what should happen. I’m stating the undeniable fact that states don’t surrender territory easily. As we are in fact seeing. The point is that saying Ukraine should surrender is just as pointless as saying Russia should immediately withdraw from all occupied territory. Neither is going to happen.

        In practical terms I oppose my own country dumping weapons into Ukraine, because that’s an absolute cluster fuck waiting to happen, and it’s the only thing I even remotely have any influence over.

        The material conditions of young men getting slaughtered by the thousands? Snark aside, feel free to bring up another topic for discussion, but you’ll have to be a bit more specific.

          The USA has sabotaged multiple peace talks. I don’t remember specifics at the moment. This situation is not as black and white as Putler bad and he wanted to snatch up land.
