Of course russia wants peace... so they can take a break and rebuild an army after being decimated by ukraine.

    "We've got them right where we want them!" has been the NATO line since the war started.

    Meanwhile, Europe's hemorrhaging it's domestic economy to keep feeding the front lines, while the rot of fascism extends into Germany, France, and the UK entirely unchecked.

    We're looking at an entirely continent of White Nationalist governments inside the next three years with the rate at which "liberal" governments are shedding internal support.

    Modern war is weird

    Idiots seem to keep pretending it's only when there are men with guns where they're not supposed to be

    That puts a lot of pressure on humans to not-make-mistakes.
    However, repeated "mistakes" are a pattern of hostility.
    Russia is hostile.
    And they keep on "oops"-ing and "plausible deniability"-ing their actions.
    Which is a pattern of hostility and should be treated as a declaration of war

    I have it on record that Trump says he wants Greenland, Canada, and now seems very eager to take Venezuela. Two sides, same coin.

    It is almost like a hair-brained attempt at keeping imperialism popular and to normalize nations like Russia land grabbing.

    Needless to say it was a bunch of bullshit to say that about your closest ally. The fact that he wasn't removed immediately after doing this was just another insult on the long line of treachery the current administration is embroiled in.

    If Russia wanted peace, they could simply go home. They don't want peace they want land.

    If Putin wanted peace, he could have it tomorrow.

    Literally just stop the invasion.
