The deleted comment said that I'm lying. By definition it means the author thinks that I've said something that is not true, so it can be disproved (or at least one can provide an argument why it's likely not to be true).
Is there any reason that it is idiotic, other than not being aligned with western propaganda?
They're implying you're lying to yourself.
You keep saying everything like you have a solution but won't say what it is.
It's idiotic because no bully is going to stop bullying you because you stop fighting back especially when they want something you have.
Your fixing platitudes and dipshit idealism aren't helpful.
About what?
Already told you what the solution is.
The bully that bullies people in Ukraine is Zelensky though.
That cedeing to a country that openly plans to retake its former Soviet borders will somehow dispite all logic result in Russian withdrawal and lasting peace.
Now, you've said peace talks. No one has stopped those and it's no surprise fighting still has not stopped.
You sure it isn't the people literally blowing up Ukrainians. If Russia is so altruistic when then do they not see these "desperate prisoners of war" and give them mercy by withdrawimg from Ukraine since as your source says they are there killing civilians... Children... For a fucking political stunt.
If anything, the initial proposal was about Russia cedeing territory that it has captured (since 2022 invasion) to Ukraine, not the other way around.
No one has been doing any serious peace talks after the initial ones either.
Those as well, but you have to deal with more immediate problem first.
Where did I say that?
Ukraine does it as well.
Point to where it says cedeing territory.
Russia won't involve themselves without certain base demands that are never going to happen and remember they are invaders in a sovereign nation they started a war with to pressure NATO and pressure Ukraine out of joining NATO.
More immediate then dead kids, whatever would that be?
Your argument only works if they are at heart basically altruistic, otherwise simply stopping fighting back would simply result in a dramatic unopposed military defeat likely of the entire country so Ukraine could never join NATO. You know, that being their goal as per your sources.
Remind me, did Ukraine start the war? Would there be any civilian war casualties if there weren't a war?
Again, childish short-sighted bullshit.
People being kidnapped on the streets and being sent to die.
You have 4 subjects and that sentence doesn't make sense for any of them, can you try it again but you know .. better.
Changed one mistake from 'on' to 'and', now it's correct
That makes sense for one of those quotes, do you want to link them together into a coherent thought the people that aren't voices in your head can understand as the language known as English. Can we do that?
Let me know what exactly from my comment doesn't make sense.
I've just re-read and it seems to be well-formed.
Ok one by one.
Did you point to in the previous contextual comment where I said cede territory. I did not at that, I said they would have to cede to Russia as in relinquish sovereign authority by treaty.
That's not me, that's your source. Keep up with the conversation.
^ A page break so you don't sound like a fucking lunatic who can't separate two thought chains.
So these people, who you have zero firsthand accounts of are more important then not killing kids so a sovereign nation doesn't join NATO as is their right as an autonomous nation.
If I want you to not be such a fucking idiot can I invade your parents home kill your daughter and displace your grandparents? No? Then how the fuck do you excuse Russia doing the same.
I don't understand what you're saying before the "page break". You asked me to point to where it says Russia would cede territory to the Ukraine. It's in this quote:
"withdrawn to its prewar boundaries" - effectively cedeing the territory it captured back to Ukraine. It fits your definition of "to yield or grant typically by treaty".
I never "excused" Russia doing the same. You put words in my mouth again, just like you do for the rest of the conversation.
No, read the comment again. I asked you to point out where in my relevant comment the phrase "cede territory" exists. You keep quoting your source, I'm not asking for where in the greater universe the phrase exists but rather one specific and specified place. Please, point it out.
You are. Your dipshit theory is that the invader if offered zero resistance will simply stop invading out of the good of their heart even though but your source the only reason Russia is in the country killing kids is to pressure Ukraine to not join NATO.
If that isn't excusing murderous colonial fucking intent I don't know what is.
I kinda don't understand what are we even talking about now in this thread, but here is quote of you talking about cedeing.. I guess you're trying to say it wasn't about territory? OK then...
Please stop putting words in my mouth. Quote me where I said that.
You kinda don't understand most things. I'll make it simple, where in my words did I say "cede territory" in that comment. Point even to where the word territory appeared in it.
Ed: I'll help, this comment. https://lemmy.world/comment/11819058
Find "cede territory" or "territory" mentioned at all in that entire comment.
Your plan to stop the war is "stop grabbing people off the street", you say the military is almost all forced fighters and would then flee. If there is no more military how do you expect resistance to be offered? Magic, are we to call Merlin? Dog meat? Pray real hard? What?
