Clearly, if they just keep repeating that Putin can end this war at any moment enough times then it will magically end.
So anyone who oppose you is a capitalist western dog is it?
I’m just pointing out the sheer bullshit your argument is premised on. The west has been going on a rampage across the globe since USSR fell, and now here you are doing hand wringing about might makes right when a non western country does what’s already been normalized claiming it would be the end of the world.
The norm: “Let’s kill each other”. Yeah, that looks like something normal. Totally.
That’s the world US created under its hegemony since USSR dissolved.
I just hope you live long enough to see the second Soviet dissolution. Maybe that day you’ll understand how bad warmongering is.
The only one doing warmongering here is you. I want the war to end. I love how you aren’t even trying to be coherent here.
You literally say “the strong can do whatever the fuck they want”, how is that not warmongering?
It’s absolutely hilarious that you’re claiming that this hasn’t been the norm already. The west has invaded Yugoslavia, Libya, Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan just to name a few countries in recent years. The only reason you’re upset now is that it’s not your side that’s doing it.
The people who are going to be the reason for the world to end are always the ones who want the wars to keep going. Especially wars where the outcome is obvious to anyone with a functioning brain.
Yup, obvious Kremlin agents. 🤡

I guess engaging with reality is difficult for people who’ve been huffing propaganda for the past two years. If you think Ukraine will get better terms going forward then you’re utterly delusional.
You are avoiding my question. Why would Russia end the war that Russia is winning?
Is google blocked at your troll farm?
A great way to say that you didn’t pay any attention to Donbas for the past decade.
You are claiming that the war is between Russia and Ukraine, while the reality, as Stoltenberg admits is that it’s a war between Russia and NATO. Ukraine is the party that needs permission from the west to stop the war.
Again, can Russia end the war immediately, ss you claimed, or do they need permission from the west, like you also claimed?
Can you explain to me why Russia would stop the war that Russia is currently winning?
The proof is in the fact that the regime literally cancelled elections, banned opposition parties, and free media.
Are you suggesting that Ukraine can not ever hold free elections after a coup, but Donbas can while under armed invasion of a foreign country?
Donbas has had election long before it INVITED Russia to intervene on its behalf. The same way breakaway regions of Yugoslavia invited NATO to intervene.
Here’s the chief of NATO openly admitting why the war started, but you keep on lying here if that makes you feel better.
The background was that President Putin declared in the autumn of 2021, and actually sent a draft treaty that they wanted NATO to sign, to promise no more NATO enlargement. That was what he sent us. And was a pre-condition for not invade Ukraine. Of course we didn’t sign that.
The opposite happened. He wanted us to sign that promise, never to enlarge NATO. He wanted us to remove our military infrastructure in all Allies that have joined NATO since 1997, meaning half of NATO, all the Central and Eastern Europe, we should remove NATO from that part of our Alliance, introducing some kind of B, or second class membership. We rejected that.
So he went to war to prevent NATO, more NATO, close to his borders. He has got the exact opposite.
How were they going to get a legitimate election after a coup overthrew the legitimate government genius?
and no free elections in Donbas
Last I checked it was Ukraine and not Donbas that cancelled elections, but do go on. Your fantasies are really interesting.
I’m not contradicting myself. The west can stop the war immediately, and Ukraine needs permission from the west to do so. This is a proxy war between NATO and Russia where NATO is using Ukraine to do the fighting.
Except that you don’t need uranium for nuclear reactors. The reason it’s used traditionally because it’s also used for nuclear weapons. Thorium is a much better fuel that’s more abundant. China has already started operating these types of reactors. The other advantage of this design is that they use molten salt instead of water for cooling. Molten salt reactors don’t need to be built next to large bodies of water, and they are safer because salt becomes solid when it cools limiting the size of contamination in case of an accident.

Completely ignoring how Donbas separated after the coup which is what the whole civil war was about for the past 8 years. 🤦
Obviously things you want to hear seem more convincing to you. There are however statements from Ukrainian negotiators where they confirm the change of direction in negotiations after western interventions. I’ve done enough looking things up for you here, but feel free to look them up on your own.
Again, Putin is the only one who can guatanteed end this. You ignore that.
I’ve addressed this repeatedly, and you’re the one ignoring what you’re being told because it doesn’t fit with your narrative.
The west abandoning Ukraine in no way guarantees that Russia stops killing Ukrainians, or Ukrainians stop killing Russians.
Ensuring that more Ukrainians die without changing the outcome of the war is not helping Ukrainians.
The only person who can end this within a day, Putin, chooses not to, and instead chooses the deaths of millions.
You keep repeating this, but it’s a blatantly false statement as we both know.
You keep mentioning how the west could end this, but are completely silent about the fact that so could Putin, and with much less bloodshed.
Both Russia and the west have exact same power to stop the war immediately. Russia has repeatedly made proposals to stop the war that the west rejected. The fact that you refuse to acknowledge this shows that you’re not arguing in good faith.
