Ukraine is asking for a truce. So why is it preparing for a bigger war?

13 days ago by jankforlife to c/worldnews

Washington is pushing for a Russia-Ukraine energy truce, but neither Moscow’s or Kiev’s core demands have shifted ahead of winter strikes.

Never trust news from a country about its opposition in a war. That's why you can't trust Russians reporting on Ukraine, Ukrainians on Russia, Israelis on Arabs, Arabs on Israel, or America on America.

Because they aren't stupid enough to think you can reason with a megalomaniac like Putin. Hope that helps.

but they seem to be stupid enough to align itself with trump and an empire in decline.

Imperialism is when a country does something in its interests, which tends to be most things?

You forgot the expansionism bit

You know, US over all its neighbours, Russia over Ukraine, Israel over Palestine/Lebanon/Syria, China over Taiwan...

If you use out of scientific context psychological terms as a substitute for meaningful political analysis, it’s because you’ve got nothing else. I highly recommend this essay on “psychopolitics”

Weird how you armchair-psychoanalyze me to prove your point that my armchair-psychoanalysis of Putin being a megalomaniac is incorrect, but okay. Would you take my point if instead of "megalomaniac" I used the term "irredentist fuckwad" or simply just "tosser"?

"You got nothing else" is just a factual observation. Your new comment is further evidence of this.

Expanding energy into arguing with idiots is wasted energy. My initial mistake was posting in .ml (didn't check). I will filter out your community in order to prevent any future mishaps. Apologies.

greed, but that can't happen until Putin goes, so the nazis in Russia can be gotten rid of.

Nazi's in Russia? LMBO you mean the anti-nazis trying to drive out the Ukrainian nazis currently being propped up by the empire to wage their proxy war?

Not even the leftest of the left activists in this country bother to try to articulate Russia's violence. I'd genuinely be interested in hearing your personal take.
