Oh I want peace. The kind where the aggressor, Russia, fucks off back to its own country and leaves Ukraine alone.
US Military had nothing to do with starting this situation. We're just giving weapons to the guy the bully is picking on.
Also there definitively needs to be a DMZ but one that's fully on Russian and Belarusian soil.
Well, east Ukraine was already in a civil war, 2014 coup also happened if I remember correctly, from the non status quo information that commentators talk about.
Ukraine is another puppet of the US Military and NATO, we are the ones that are funding their gov't and weapons. Without US/NATO Ukraine would not have held out so long.
Regime change wars do not work or help the situation, it in fact makes them worse off, look at Latin America and the Middle East regions for mulitple examples, you can even look at Africa for more examples.
Civil war, hahahaha give me a break. That was all Russia.
Stop replying, I'm not buying any of your propaganda. I am actually an American who has BEEN to Ukraine, right before Putin's bullshit kicked off in 2014 in fact. So you can't lie to me and expect me to believe it out of ignorance.
I watch commentators that live in Russia and have family in Ukraine...
I am showing you what the non status quo view is, many people are seeing the US military and western propaganda view points.
It is seen by some as another endless war where the working class is dying for the owner class profits.
No one here is trying to lie or say something that is untrue, we are just getting our information from different sources.
I suggest to also check out independent journalists and commentators, we must force ourselves to take in bias information even if we do not think or agree with it, being in bubbles do not help us.
No war, but the Class War!
