I hate how “anti-war” has been hijacked by these people to mean, let imperialist countries invade whoever they want with no consequences. (in the case of tankies, any imperialist country that isn’t in NATO).

If Russia stops fighting there would be no war. If Ukraine stops fighting there would be no Ukraine.

I don't think you understood the joke. Do you know the saying about a broken clock?

Do you do anything besides shitpost and deliberately misinterpret people?

Kicking the dogs passes the time.

And? The saying was popular before Blinken's speech btw.

I can’t find an earlier source. And it’s not accurate:

Boris Johnson Pressured Zelenskyy to Ditch Peace Talks With Russia: Ukrainian Paper

In the weeks ahead of Johnson's April 9 visit, high-level diplomatic talks held in Belarus and Turkey had failed to yield a diplomatic breakthrough, though reports in mid-March indicated that Russian and Ukrainian delegations "made significant progress" toward a 15-point peace deal that would involve Ukraine renouncing its NATO ambitions in exchange for the withdrawal of Moscow's troops.

At this stage, since they have fought so well, I'd guess there would just be a much smaller, much weaker Ukraine.

We will likely see this happen now Trump is president. He is too egotistical to not take revenge on them for not playing along with his quid pro quo back in 2019.

The Ukrainian flags in republican yards never meant a thing... They sold Ukraine out at the polls.
