In the end faulty security always gives edge to the stronger and more malicious side.

So if you want to protect the weak and allow people to defend themselves, you’d want such mechanisms to not be rigged for any abstract noble goal, because otherwise you are going to get fucked very practically.

Time flows too slow until Ursula von der Leyen is in court facing such charges and more.

Bye, moscovite.

What an ape FFS. Don’t say bye the third time.

EDIT:

I mean, you say “genocide” as if China is being sanctioned or punished for Xinjiang, and very little pressure would be required to make them stop, or Azerbaijan for Artsakh, and Azerbaijan is a bug to squash, one phone call would be enough, and Turkey itself mostly does all the things it does to pressure concessions, so they are ready to negotiate in every moment.

Ah, and Ukraine supports Azeri genocidal crimes in Artsakh, so fuck them.

Your country, if that’s US, doesn’t do anything about these. It cooperates with the criminal terrorist states I’ve mentioned. And yet you have the gall to throw the word “genocide” around about something which is war crimes, yes, and even sometimes acts of genocide, but that would mean that a Ukrainian life is worth more than an Armenian life, and I don’t agree. A Ukrainian life is worth more than your life, surely, but not more than an Armenian life.

Now, you can say that yes, these are all genocides much more real about which you don’t care, cause your side is of the perpetrators there.

You don’t fucking know which things the words you use mean. And since you still dare voice your opinions on real world - blocking me is an important first step at stopping that.

I suspect they are getting second thoughts there about those fallout shelters and how different they are from wow hypersonic missiles and wow radioelectronic warfare and other kinds of wow they considered real.

Well, in Russian it’s a swear word meaning a faggot, which refers to prison hierarchy.

Murdering, kidnapping and brainwashing Ukrainian children is genocide.

Then we’ll have to introduce degrees of genocide.

Attempting to exterminate the Ukrainian people is genocide.

Which is not happening.

I said “in some moments”. There were days and places under Kherson a few months before.

Like every ceasefire.

I suppose right now Ukraine just wants some better guarantees while it has a strong negotiating position.

So that it takes some effort from Putin to even be heard.

Or maybe what Zelensky says is what he means, you can’t negotiate with a pathological liar (just like a few of Ukraine’s allies, though) who doesn’t know how to lose with dignity. Be it a person or a whole elite of some country, like Russia. I mean, emotionally I’ve met some and I’d agree. Just don’t know what it is rationally.

We’ll see. Ukraine is still regaining land, albeit slowly. In some moments - rather fast and cheap even.

But also yes, the Russian forces have learned something.

All weapons which make sense for Russia’s leadership. Nukes are not that, they want to still rule over something when this ends.

Chemical weapons are possible, I think.

The word “genocide” means something else (which, in case of Turkey and China and even Yazidis in Syria, most of the world has problems recognizing).

Yes, but Ukrainians need to regroup too.

I obviously mean that you are talking too tough for somebody not participating.

Well, it sometimes pays off. You can see how Pashinyan is regarded as opposed to Zelensky or literally anyone not as miserable. Looking weak is bad. Humans are still apes. And politicians in some sense are even more apes than the general population - they mostly participate in some free for all without any moral boundaries, which is an environment more macho-friendly than any other.

I mostly meant that people calling for Ukrainian offensive don’t quite feel that it’s not a movie, most of the soldiers are mobilized men, and Ukraine has already tried a few times. Turns out it’s not as cheap as one would have thought.

They likely want to stockpile weapons, train people better (especially commanders, since their recent attempts were just as Soviet-styled as what Russia does), make preparations. Maybe wait for something unexpected happening for Russia leading to it being distracted.

Or maybe they want to wait until the terrain freezes, so that it would be easier to push. Or the other way around - due to Russian problems in logistics, they want to push in the shortest possible window before frosts, so that territory taken would be easier to hold. I dunno, I’m not a military expert.

Actually likely not, he’s been building international relations similarly to the Russian criminal code of behavior, and while it’s sad that even Americans and Europeans would consider this kinda acceptable, now he’s shown himself to be weak and humiliated. In other words, of the lower caste, and simply said, a pidor.

So no, he won’t be let back in. But some other (in appearances mostly, not in essence) government in Russia may.

I would understand if at least 20% of the Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel would be comprised of western volunteers talking about terrorists and no negotiations.

But that is not a thing. So looks a bit ballsy, cause one would think that in a rather apocalyptic war on Ukraine’s soil, after they’ve reclaimed large swathes of territory, they’d be interested in some reduction of monthly casualties and rebuilding various capacities on that territory. Which a ceasefire would provide.

I mean, even if you are right, you are eagerly advocating for spending mobilized Ukrainian lives on a costly offensive.
