Smaller Country: "I want to choose my own path forward for the future"

Big Country #1: "I own you. I will murder the shit out of you if you ever think about leaving me"

Big country #2: "I will send help to Smaller Country to stop Big Country #1"

Communist Rube #37245: "I cannot tell the difference!"

Smaller Country: “I want to choose my own path forward for the future”

Big Country #1: “I own you. I will murder the shit out of you if you ever think about leaving me”

Big country #2: “I will do everything to prolong the war and stop negotiations in order to sell as many weapons as possible”

Liberal Rule #37245: “There is a difference!”

Fyi, Ukraine is trying diplomacy. They've succesfully (and rightfully) got Europe to support them. Not enough to get Russia out of Ukraine, but still.

What do You want to know, they are paid trolls from moscow spreading propaganda.

The diplomacy for russia means surrender at least part of Ukraine, if not whole. Only rus wants to talk about that.

Russia isn't even claiming to be socialist

[–] Eldritch@piefed.world 57 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They don't have to. It isn't about socialism or being socialist. It's about being anti-west. All else is optional to them.

Campism was a fucking mistake.

Western hegemony is brutal if you're not part of the club. I wish there was a real path to breaking it up without replacing it with more of the same imperial shit.

Funny that Russians and Republicans are indistinguishable now

[–] BlackLaZoR@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I thought they were Nazis?

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 36 points 3 days ago (1 children)

They like Putin for the same reason the MAGAts like Trump.

Fetterman is proof that Trump's best strategy would be to ban helmets.

Ban abortion and give expectant mothers free cigarettes. Already halfway there.

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Remove the restrictions against lead paint and leaded gasoline.

[–] michaelalf@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Yep, this is the nuclear method of dumbing down generations. The scary thing is I can see it happening.

[–] AzuranAurora@piefed.ca 4 points 2 days ago

It's not like people wear them anyway, even when riding on fast e-bikes and scooters. Out of the many I see every day, maybe 20% of the riders I see actually wear a helmet. They think they're invincible until they have a serious accident. No grey matter to protect inside those skulls.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 2 points 2 days ago

Because they're pussies who like to think that backing the stronger side makes them look/feel strong/right.

[–] raptore39@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 days ago

A lot of bots that string actual humans along

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago

They are using the Russian version of diplomacy. Gotta speak the lingo.

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 days ago

The power broker that's missing from the equation is the United States.

We're willing to milk war to maximize business interests and returns, and this is no exception. Decisive victories and diplomacy alike run counter to that goal.

Currently getting trounced by Iran however is suggesting there is little actual power to broker anymore, outside of classic nuclear holocaust.

This smacks of ableism. It's not these peoples fault they were born with a severe developmental disability.

Don't make fun of them, just celebrate their trying by saying something like "Oh, wow, Billy! I can't believe you learned so much about politics! You are very smart! Would you like a cookie?"
