A war with better armed Ukraine would be shorter.

We could make Russian dominance in the region history, just like the myth of their military competence is history.

Weaker Russia means lower need for future military spending, and it is cheaper to give old weapons to Ukraine than to dispose of them locally.

I think replacing it with “American Politicians” would work, but accuracy, in my Polandb… meme?

That would have been a peace deal that would have meant further hostilities down the line a few years later.

The main problem with the west is that they believe they can make a deal with Russia that they are going to honor. The truth is that Russia honors the deals when it suits them and breaks them the moment it’s useful. Any negotiation is and will always be seen as weakness from the Russian side.

As their propagandist said “We are Russian. We want the world. All of it if possible.”

The actual truth is that it’s NATO that’s been constantly expanding towards Russia. It’s also NATO that’s been invading and destroying countries since the end of USSR. Syria, Libya, and Yugoslavia being some prominent examples.

False equivalence. Former USSR countries that joined NATO, did so to protect themselves from future Russian aggression. Like the one we now see in Ukraine. Intervention in Yugoslavia was to prevent atrocities and Syria and Libya had their own problems and dictatorships, which Russia tried to prop up and the West wanted to end.

Meanwhile, Russia tried to resolve this situation diplomatically since 2008 with Minsk agreements that western leaders now openly admit were a delaying tactic by the west.

Western leaders? Name them.

The whole legal basis for the existence of state of Ukraine is predicated on Ukraine staying neutral and not joining military blocs.

It is in fact the opposite. No neutral country stays that way for long when Russia wants it’s territory.

Ukraine broke the very basis of this agreement when it tried to join NATO.

Because Russia attacked them.

Now, thanks to western “help”, Ukraine will lose far more territory than it would have if the deal was done last year, and it may even cease to exist as a state. I can’t wait for you to explain how this actually helps people of Ukraine.

If the West had not helped, there would be no Ukraine either. We would be condemning them to a decade of guerilla warfare and oppression. Emboldened by his victory, Putin would look further west.

Ukrainians now fight Russia, both sides are getting exhausted and it all depends on what help Ukraine gets. Your magical peace treaty would just mean Russia trying this again in 5 years or less.

You could have used the same arguments to make peace with the Nazis in 1941 and the world would only be worse for it.

No, Ukraine has been engaged in atrocities in Donbas since 2014 as even western media reported at the time.

Russian propaganda talking point.

If the west didn’t run a coup to overthrow a democratically elected government then there would’ve been no troubles in Ukraine. Period.

Euromaidan was not a coup.

That’s complete and utter nonsense, and even western media now admits this.

Cite sources for the first point and military strategy analysts for the second.

There is a beautiful lake close to where I live and if you are there in late evening you can see lights from the nearest wind farm blinking on the horizon. You can also see them on top of historical castle mounds my region is famous for which cheapens the experience of visiting them. I am all for renewable energy, but I understand the argument.

A republican in UK is someone who is against the monarchy. I guess if you were pro monarchy, it would make it a bad thing.

In most cases they weren’t that bad, the population wasn’t high enough for it to get too dirty and most people had plenty of living space. Only in later era do cities become dirty and extremely overpopulated. The exception would be sieges, but in them all people would suffer to some extent.

Yep, from Rome to Rīga, they used to mark the death of nature with plants that refuse to die. Later, they started decorating them to symbolise the blossoming or the harvest of the year’s last feast.

You sure that’s not a sterilisation marker? Cats get an ear clipped after being sterilised during a catch and release program.

Politics is a branch of philosophy about how societies should be governed. If you want to make a social commentary that is non political, you would have to avoid mentioning how society is or should be run. Also, how people should organise together.
