        *If Russia stops fighting, there’s no more war for now.

        If they win they know they can get away with it. And will start more wars. Why would they stop the Nazis didn’t stop in ww2 after capturing Poland. Romania probably would be Russias the next target.

      I have a hitch that the reason they don’t want to give security guarantees is to not only please Putin, who wants to take us back to the era of territorial conquests, but also to use it even more as a leverage against Ukraine. You can just force them to do away with every job safety, to sell of their health care and transform it into the same horrible mess the US has, to dismantle their education system for cheap labor for the mines, or else the tanks are going in the country and Ukrainians will get tortured to death again for not speaking Russian.

      I’m always surprised at myself how surprised I am at Muskrats stupidity.

      Geeting guarantees about the train not starting again is a pretty big and reasonable thing. Especially since it probably wouldn’t even be years…

      So even when he tries to make somebody else the victim of a joke, he just reveals how stupid he is.

          What does it take for you to stop thinking he knows what he’s doing?

          He’s is clearly a very stupid and selfish person and what he is doing isn’t a lie because he believes it because he cannot believe he has ever been wrong.

          This is like thinking your dog shit on the carpet again on purpose. It’s just a dog and it just needed to shit. The rest is anthropomorphism.

        And whilst the train is stopped the opposition could rig it to go even faster when it’s next turner back on meaning it’ll soon catch up and exceed where it would’ve been if it just kept going

        Wouldn’t this critique also fit with OP’s post?

        Edit: not trying to excuse anyone. Just stating that wars don’t happen because one guy feels like it.

            Ok, if you think so. I’m afraid that the politics of the real world is a bit more complex than "Putin is a Supervillain and must be stopped by the avengers NATO.

              Nobody thinks he’s a supervillain. He’s am egotistical asshole with power.

              But he needs to be stopped and gtfo Ukraine.

                People act as if he’s a supervillain. The other person literally said that the war is happening “because he felt like it”. How is that not supervillain logic? How does that not abstract away that Putin acts in the political interest of a national state?

                I’m not trying to argue for sympathy for that asshole. I just want people to think a teensy bit about the fact that states do things out of political calculations and interests. Not because one guy “feels like it”.

                  It seems you are the one arguing he’s a super villain, not the rest. And don’t you dare argue Doom is not a supervillain because he does things “out of political calculations and interests”.

              Putin is a geriatric, history-revising madman who thinks he should be the tzar of the Soviet Union. He has been an autocrat for too long, has had only yes-men around him for more than two decades, and his head is simply too far up his ass. He has lost all grasp on reality.

              It really is that simple. The world would be a better place without Putin and his cronies. There would be less violence in the world without Russia. What meaningful except for terror and fear has Russia exported in the past decade? Two?

              Right.

              Enough with the false equivalences, this war is unilaterally Russia’s fault. Russia is a rabid dog, bleeding out and trying to take down everything with it.

                Sorry, I can’t take you ser after that display of utter historical ignorance/stupidity.

                Your stance wouldn’t be too far off from “Jeder Schuss ein Russ”

                  My stance isn’t very far off for all Russian soldiers in Ukraine and Putin, as well as anyone affiliated with him.

                  If you’re talking about there being no tzars in the Soviet Union: Obviously. It’s a figure of speech. The actual point went riiiiight over your head, Sherlock.
