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.

Russia isn't even claiming to be socialist

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

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.

Funny that Russians and Republicans are indistinguishable now

A lot of bots that string actual humans along

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.

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

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

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?"

I swear every time I hear the argument it's from a right winger with no thinking ability whatsoever.

It always goes like this.

Them: violence is wrong! It's never the answer. Me: so what about Ukraine? Should they simply let Russia take whatever? Them: They should sort it out diplomatically, of course.

to liberals supporting the meat grinder machine of this war:

False equivalence, saying this needs to be resolved diplomatically as soon as possible in order to avoid Ukraine losing even more negotiating power, inevitable economic and population collapse and fall into more Western debt for for the Russia-NATO proxy war does not support the Russian invasion and is objectively better for the average Ukrainian cause yes, war is terrible, Ukraine is caught in the cross fire of an inter-imperialist war, many socialists rightfully dismiss it to avoid taking the side of and escalate either NATO or Russia but of the average Ukrainian worker.

I'm sure if there were mass graves caused by Russia it would be on all the news cycles. Israeli mass graves in Gaza, on the other hand, are glossed over and never talked about again.

Some 65% of Ukrainians favor a negotiated end to the war as soon as possible.
