“Because in 2024, Ukraine is no longer facing Russia. Soldiers from North Korea are standing in front of Ukraine. Let’s be honest. Already in Ukraine, the Iranian ‘Shahedis’ are killing civilians absolutely openly, without any shame,” said Zaluzhny, adding that North Korean and Chinese weapons are flying into Ukraine. Zaluzhny urged Ukraine’s allies to draw the right conclusions. “It is still possible to stop it here, on the territory of Ukraine. But for some reason our partners do not want to understand this. It is obvious that Ukraine already has too many enemies. Ukraine will survive with technology, but it is not clear whether it can win this battle alone,” he said.
That is the critical lie. This war was easily avoidable, and easily endable. Russia’s red lines are/were 100% reasonable.
What do you believe those reasonable red lines to be?
The only reason we are officially fighting is to keep Ukraine nazified while dangling future NATO membership. Its actually far more preposterous in that no one seriously wants Ukraine in NATO, and so its just pure disrespect of Russia to diminish Russia.
If Russia doesn’t want to be disrespected, they should quit doing fucking stupid things
So what? None of it was happening on their soil, no threats were made. They had no cause even if your bullshit assertion were true.
Yes, it was very easy to avoid, by Russia not invading another country without provocation.
And if you’re going to spout some bullshit about them not wanting Ukraine to join NATO or the EU, well… That’s none of their damned business. It’s not their country, and they’re not a member of either, so they have no say in the matter.
