I wouldn't want to claim this as a win for the open source community. Ukraine keeps pushing for war when peace talks should be the goal. Putin may not be listening either but it's no surprise when Ukraine keeps pushing for escalation. Neither side has any excuses left at this point. Let's not give open source software a bad name by supporting warmongering.
Nice try, Putin.
You mean surrender. You wish for Ukraine to surrender stolen territory. You also assume Russia would not use the time of peace to regroup rearm and reinvade.
Everyone wants peace. Putin wanted peace from the beginning but the pesky sovereign nation wanted to keep it's sovereignty.
Hahahah sure America cares about national sovereignty. Boy, you are a cute cup cupcake, pumpkin. You got the newborn babe smell. Rules based order, gotcha.
The Book of History never closes. No war is ever won. In 2014, the United States CIA supported a coup that put into power the nationalist who are neo-Nazis. Liberals are not pro-peace, they are pro-war and anti-working class. Ukraine is not a democracy. The United States is willing to sacrifice the whole nation for a proxy war. We are just using them. It's so funny how you all get jazzed up. It's like when liberals kept telling us, we have to save the poor women in Afghanistan. America is not a democracy. America is an imperialist empire and Nazis are the useful idiots of empire. It could be argued that there hasn't been any real human progress. Nowadays, because we keep escalating, we've got space nukes. What a miserable world. All the suckers that go along with it.
You forget to take your medication today grandpa
Aaand tagged, I got a rare programming.dev Tankie alt! Lmao
What the fuck
Not many people know but Ukraine is not very interested in peace either. Their demands are almost as unrealistic as Russia's.
How do you conclude from unrealistic demands to no interest in peace?
What do you think the prospects of short and long-term peace are? What would you be willing to sacrifice for temporary "peace"?
They probably know better than us. No?
Demands such as adhere to international law? How dare they!
Don't forget the demand to leave their country. That's just a bridge too far for putin.
Ooh, how dare I not fall in line for a narrative that is designed to launder money and keep people dying in the process? The audacity!
You think Ukraine is trying to launder money? Or who is?
The Ukrainian government and the financiers behind them, yes.
If Russia stopped invading them, do you think Ukraine would suddenly try to invade Russia in turn?
They'd continue to cozy up to NATO, persecute Russian nationals (even peaceful citizens) and give Putin the legitimate reasons you claim he doesn't have.
I claimed what? I don't understand why you're advocating for the aggressor and their invasion of another country, and doing so on a retro gaming instance.
So again - what the fuck?
"You", collectively, referring to all the warmongering hypocrites who want to keep the war going for no reason other than sLaVa uKrAiNi.
I'd love to focus on retro games, tech and other cool stuff that interests me. Problem is, even after blocking all sorts of instances and communities, and building up a word filter, I still see political (or in this case, geopolitical) posts all over the cesspit that is Lemmy.
At no point have I ever said I want the war.
It looks like our difference in opinion is I want the people actually causing the war to stop.
Your problem is that you assume Ukraine is innocent. They're not. They're the antagonists. They knew Putin can't resist pushing forward when they antagonize him further so they keep doing it to keep the flow of income from completely unrelated countries so the whack-job Zelenskyy, along with his backers and partners, can keep living like kings.
