The hypocrisy here just reached a new height.

The comment by another guy here says

Apart from that, Putin is not willing to negotiate - they are willing to dictated terms

And you say

Putin has started the war and can end it at any time he pleases by removing his forces from the occupied regions of Ukraine.

Which is exactly dictating terms instead of negotiating, and exactly what I am talking about when I say that you are on the side of those who are not willing to negotiate.

they have been disregarding rules set by most international communities for over 100 Years.

Everybody is breaking them whenever it is convenient.

Putin is not willing to negotiate - they are willing to dictated terms

Well but how do you know that if you don't negotiate? Your media told you so? Oh then it must be the truth, because it's the other's side media that spreads propaganda, the one that you listen to speaks the truth, am I right?

pea brain

Why is almost every negotiation with the "clearly intelligently superior westerner leftists" boils down to Ad Hominem? Why do you never have a convincing argument and have to resort to personal attacks of people you disagree with?

how utterly depraved of any civility, intelligence and decency has anyone be, to accuse Ukraine of being “the bad guy” here?

Are you seriously talking about civility and decency while supporting a regime that hunts and kidnaps people on the streets sending them into the meat grinder? If this is what you call civility and decency, then I am indeed depraved of it.

So what is it I lie about?
What is this leftist fetish of accusing people of lying, and not point out what they consider a lie (and I'm not even talking about proving the opponents wrong by providing some arguments, this clearly requires too much intelligence, right?)?..

Yeah, let Russia walz right through Ukraine and then Moldova - what could possibly go wrong!

You know that Zelensky is the one that is not willing to negotiate and just wants to murder as many people as he can?
For a war to end there needs to be a negotiation (with some quite rare exceptions of totally conquering another country or stalemates like in Koreas), and Russia is constantly saying (even when it's winning) that it is willing to negotiate and end the war, in contrast to Zelensky.
How hypocritical do you have to be, to be on the side of those who are not willing to negotiate and continuing the war despite everything, and yet accuse the other side of wanting to conquer the world?

Zelenskyy thanks US for opportunity to kill some tens/hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians more, as well as pocket a few billion dollars for himself and his friends.

almost all russian language media throughout the world is monitored and controlled by the russian government

I am sure you have very credible sources for this conspiracy theory, because as opposed to those stupid Russians, you know English and are capable of critical thinking, so this isn't just something you've heard from totally different and very honest media and accepted to be true, so would you be so kind to share them?

If the only language you know is russian, it’s very hard to get unbiased information

Definitely, after all, it's a known fact that the most popular western social platforms such as Reddit, Facebook, Discord, Instagram and previously Twitter are very open and never ban people for speaking out things that don't agree with the current narration, as opposed to Telegram for example (where a lot of russian-speaking people communicate and get their news from), which is known to ban people based on politics. Or wait, is it actually the other way around?...

With Russia, it’s either you support it or straight to jail

With Ukraine it's the same.

few Russians have the balls to stand up en masse let alone leave the country

Ukrainians don't even have the options of leaving the country, they are imprisoned by the government, with the support from the USA. And almost nobody is talking about that let alone condemning it. After all, it's bad and is a violation of human rights only when countries USA doesn't like (North Korea, etc.) do it, doing it with approval of USA is totally okay and humane! Right?

Ukraine wants to fight for their nation

People want to live. Politicians want to play geopolitcs.

You think that if they wanted to surrender, they wouldn’t have done so by now?

Who are they? Nobody gives a choice to Ukrainians, and those who dare to say something against the government are sent to die.

Stop pretending that trump is giving them a choice rather than taking away their choice to defend their nation

Whose choice to defend their nation? The politicians? People are being kidnapped from the streets, and against their will sent to the army. Do you call this a choice?

if a fire were burning up your next door neighbor’s house, would you deny that helping them to put out that fire helps keep your house safe too?

Exactly, I would be helping them to put out the fire (end the conflict), instead of pouring gasoline on it (supporting the government that refuses to negotiate, and murders hundreds of thousands of people).

Withholding aid is what is getting Ukrainians killed

No, supporting and encouraging a government which refuses to negotiate and sends people to their deaths is what getting them killed.

You might be providing this service with the best intentions, but, what prevents you from one day changing all of the records to your own address? Or changing a record whenever it is requested from "a-company-that-is-known-to-do-big-monero-payouts.domain"?
Again I am not saying this is your intention, but Monero's purpose is decentralized digital cash and I personally would not use such service for anything except maybe a convenient donation address that you don't expect to get big payout to.

Shooting the hostage does technically end the negotiation, and that’s the equivalent to what he is suggesting

The only hostage in this situation is Ukrainian population, that is slowly getting butchered. So in your analogy, he is the only one negotiating the release of hostages, while everybody else is busy killing them.

cede territory

Lots if not most of people would prefer to be alive on ceded territory than dead on whatever territory. You are suggesting to kill millions of innocent people without giving them a meaningful choice.

selfish asshole

Do you think millions of people who will get to live due to his actions are going to call him selfish? I wouldn't. If what you mean instead is that his actions wouldn't benefit USA in its geopolitical game with Russia by the cost of lives of other people - you can just say that.

There was a highly upvoted post here on lemmy with "saving lives is hot" as the title, what happened to that? Or does it work only when it is about Americans, and Ukrainians can be massacred?

So, saying he will end a war in Ukraine means he hates it?
For millions of Ukrainians including my family and friends who failed to escape Ukraine, this is the only chance to remain alive.

They are smart and will not destroy the power plant. This is undeniable fact.

This is not a fact, this is an opinion.
