You can't pretend to be altruistic when your idea of peace is letting Putin forcibly annex all former Soviet states.

You're a child

Yes. The point is to put an invading force on the defense

I think the russians are quite confortable being on the defense right now, seems like the defensive position has an inherent advantage in this war, ukraine had it at first.

You're an idiot

If an end can be brought to the war that ensures that Ukraine maintains their own territory then obviously that is the ideal scenario

Emphasis on "ideal"

Dugin's book states:

You're paying more attention to that guy than anyone in russia with decision making power is.

There is no evidence that Russia ever seriously meant to give up its influence over the D/LPRs.

Minsk what? Ok no evidenc-Minsk 2 what?

Ya'll could have a Minsk 3 and then 4 years of ukraine bombing people they supposedly want to reintegrate into their country and still find it hard to fault the ukranian state

some kind of smart and pragmatic leadership were to take over the US and kick the neocons out

That could happen, but plenty of "marxists" have given up their historic responsibility to take power and chosen to become third worldists that wait for poor people to save them while they sit on the wealthiest country on earth, or become "wait for the revolution" insurrectionists which is even worse.

I completely dodged your question to make a jab at internet leftists sorry

I can't wait for the breathless western media coverage that vehemently condems this "disdain for democracy" while never ever ever ever ever delving into why the fuck these coups happen and why people might've been upset with the former regime.

I hope that there's an equivalent of this piece, about the Niger coup and former PNDS regime, for Gabon soon.

I also found this Branko Milanovic piece on Brics and non-alignment worth a read

a policy that was economically good for (the population)

Isn't Niger, like, one of the top 10 poorest countries on earth

This post has reached the socdem war credits supporters

You're a child, you view the world as a child does

Still, I'm optimistic about the next few months. Ukrainians just reached the first Surovikin line near Novoprokopivka, and the latest reports suggest they've already entered the eastern side of that village

Oh goodie le epic bacon army entered a village much reason for optimism.

What are you optimistic about, the war continuing? So silly
