This is a serious matter, as halting the ongoing conflict could save countless lives. There is concern that current policies, such as the decision to permit Ukraine to carry out strikes within Russia, may escalate tensions rather than contribute to de-escalation. A more focused effort on diplomatic solutions could be instrumental in fostering peace and mitigating further harm.
The Allies should have done the same after Germany overran France. Why did they had to escalate things by bombing the Reich?
I'm sorry, what??
He's making fun of you by saying the whole world should have given up to Germany in WW2, like you suggest Ukraine give up to the brutal rapisit invaders.
He is making fun of a conflict where people he couldn’t care less for are dying. Yeah real funny!
Or Russia could fuck off back to their own country. That's the easiest solution.
That only happens in fairy tales; this is the reality of the world we live in.
What only happens in fairy tales are "diplomatic solutions" in a war like this one. Russia will not negotiate if they are not allowed to keep what they stole. They can't be allowed to do that. So there will not be peace until either Ukraine gives up or Russians feel continuing this war is too costly for them.
Russia literally just needs to say "okay we're leaving" and then leave and the war is over. Wtf are you talking about?
De-escalation is highly effective in resolving conflicts.
One party here is banking on the de-escalation tactics of the other to play the situation in their favor. Continuing course with peace tactics knowing the other guy is playing you is not de-escalation
Thats the problem neither of us matter. Ask a ukranian family that endured 1000 days of war what they think. They are the only ones that matter!
Your entire comment only puts the blame on Ukraine and the west.
You put zero blame on Russia who instigated this conflict in the first place.
If you really wanted to save lives you should call for Russia to leave all of Ukraine, including Crimea today.
My comment focuses on saving lives. While this community demands conflict, few are actively supporting Ukraine. Millions suffer as many enjoy the holidays. Yes, Russia is to blame—but the priority is ending the nightmare for Ukrainian families who've endured 1,000 days of war. They don't care who started it or who's winning; they just want peace.
Ok, the most effective way of saving lives is for Russia to withdraw, if Ukraine looses the conflict, Russia will continue killing.
Your stratergy is an idiotic feel good idea, nothing more
As you sit in peace ready to celebrate the holiday you feel that other people should not only continue the conflict but escalate it??? What you are saying is not even a strategy its a feel good meat grinder of people you couldn’t care less for.
Yes - better to leave those Russian airbases - the place from which they launch their airstrikes against civilians in place - allowing endless airstrikes against your populace is the path to peace.
...what?
By this logic, we should allow the conflict to persist at the expense of the Ukrainian people—so long as it provides a sense of moral satisfaction for the lemmy community.
So we forever surrender any and all autonomy and agency in the face of nuclear blackmail? Folding on Ukraine now, only reinforces two lessons:
The NATO/CSTO ‘nuclear umbrella’ curbs the need or desire to seek a domestic nuclear arms program - Pakistan sought nuclear weapons in the 80s after their rival India got them, and the proliferation network afterwards arguably contributed to Iranian knowhow for their own weapons program:
Believe me, a Ukrainian family that has endured 1,000 days of war simply wants peace. De-escalation is a crucial step toward preventing further loss of life on both sides of this devastating conflict.
Fuck de-escalation, there is no way Russia ends their atrocity without either total surrender from Ukraine or overwhelming force. Let's get it over with before it festers further. Bomb Moscow, lightly, and fucking annihilate it and several other key sites if there's even a whiff of retaliation.
Fuck Russia, enough is enough. Miss me with the "but the innocents" bullshit, cuz yeah, I agree - "but the goddamned innocents!"
You speak with passion, and I can appreciate that. However, may I ask—what are you actively doing to support Ukraine in this conflict? Or is your focus primarily on feeling vindicated as Ukraine inflicts damage on Russia, even at the cost of countless innocent families in both nations?
And you thinkTrump is more capable of diplomatic solutions than Biden or Harris? If so, can I borrow $200?
Have you been living on another planet for the past four years?
Here's some food for thought. If we turned the tables and Canada was being invaded by the US, and Putin said he could call Trump and stop the invasion so long as whatever territories Trump took stay American, I would rather suicide bomb a crowd of Americans than accept defeat. I imagine the Ukrainians feel the same way. I can't imagine that changing.
Once again, this is a fairy tale perspective. Families suffering in both nations do not view the conflict this way. At this point, they are far less concerned with who wins or gains the upper hand. The harsh reality of war cannot be understood through an abstract, vindictive lens, and this approach will only bring further harm to people you neither know nor genuinely care about.
😂😂😂
It's going to catch up to you.
