They were sabotaged. Ukraine was ready to make concessions, but the UK and US stepped in and said no. These were absolutely peace talks, as they would have ended the conflict.

I know full-well how to spot propaganda, anything trying to convince someone of something is propaganda. Reading through bias and analyzing the source facts is necessary.

    Ukraine absolutely was not. They were never going to let Russia just invade them and take land. That’s a fallacy.

    They may have done in 2014 under a pro-Russia government when they weren’t prepared but this time they were.

    There is zero evidence of the peace talks nor of Us and UK sabotaging them or telling them to not accept. That is disinformation.

    Russia has not sued for peace. Any time they have approached potential talks especially with the Orangutan, Russia have attacked harder both pre and post “negotiations”.

    It isn't disinformation, it's proven fact. You can't just say reality doesn't exist and that Russia is going to turn around while they are winning, life is not a marvel movie.

    I didn’t say they would. I said they should.

    What has a marvel movie got to do with anything? Superheroes aren’t real.

    Russia isn't going to do whatever you personally want them to, especially when they are on track to get all of their stated goals accomplished. "Should" doesn't mean anything.

    Further, more sources on the west sabotaging peace talks:

    Linking a right-wing website trying to depict everything as kremlin propaganda doesn't overtake the facts.

    Yes, it's a pro-EU, pro-NATO source.

    Definitionally, yes. The EU and NATO are right-wing, imperialist coalitions that expropriate vast sums of wealth from the global south. All of them are dictatorships of capital.

    Lot of words there. And if I told you Russia was the right wing and the EU was the left, how would that alter your world view?

    It wouldn't. Russia is right wing, and so is the EU.

    Ok yeah I walked in to that one. Everything will be right wing to a full on communist. Curious though, what is China? They’ve got to be centre considering they’re essentially a capitalist-communist hybrid.

    I was meaning more what we would typically refer to as “right” wing being the parties in charge ie Trump, Putin, Orban etc. The EU for the most part is considered “left”. An economic and political union trying to do good by all its members, free movement, free trade, free market, rules and regulations, legislations and protections for its people and the rule of law etc. it has its faults sure but it is quite social leaning.

    China is socialist, the large firms and key industries are publicly owned, and the working class is in control. It's left wing. They have markets, but that doesn't make them a "hybrid," it just means they are at the developing stage of socialism.

    The EU is a cabal of imperialist countries. All of the niceties in the EU are founded primarily off the backs of exploiting the global south. Taking a firm stance against imperialism requires that the EU essentially give up its super-profits.
