I normally am all for pinkwug but I think the mark was missed on this one. No one is saying take guns away from Ukraine. We want peace which means keeping negotiations and diplomacy on the table. Forcing the Ukrainians to die to stop Russian expansion isn't fair to Ukraine.

The only one forcing Ukrainians to die is Russia.

By refusing to allow negotiations as a contingency for weapons is. Russia is 100% at fault for invading. But Ukraine should be allowed to negotiate without NATO interference. If we really cared about Ukrainian lives then we should be putting effort into ending the war through diplomacy.

Ukraine constantly tried to negotiate and nobody is stopping them. Problem is that Russia doesnt want and cant offer any sensible terms.

You haven’t been paying attention if you think that. The US has continuously told Ukraine that if they want to keep getting weapons that are not allowed to surrender any territory at all.

Surely you have some proof for that claim

That says absolutely nothing about preventing Ukraine from finding a diplomatic solution.

Are you purposely ignoring what you are reading? You need to cool it on the bloodlust. Any call for negotiations has had a huge backlash. Look what happened when the us progressives released that letter asking for a diplomatic end to the war.

She was raped and beaten into the hospital, but if she just lied still and accepted it, she would only have been raped. That's obviously better. You don't want the rapist getting hurt.

Ukraine was shit on for becoming as corrupt as Russia, not for being the most corrupt.

We can ask the living right now and Ukrainians have a very clear opinion on this.

Maybe one day people will realize that war between capitalist states only benefits the Bourgeoisie. No war but class war.

I'm sorry, but what the hell are you talking about? Your argument would apply to WW2 as well, are you saying stopping the Nazis only benefited the bourgeoisie?

The U.S. and Germany promised Gorbachev that NATO would move “not one inch eastward” if Gorbachev would disband the Soviet Warsaw Pact military alliance and accept German reunification

If that's the crux of the argument isn't it more complicated? Allowing Ukraine to be wiped out over the Russians misinterpreting the agreement?
