Lmao are you even paying attention?

I took a peek and as rheinmetall profits are ramping up smoke is coming out from Zaporizhzhia.

Now Russia has to get them off their land or look like even more of a fucking idiot

This isn't a videogame, many people will die an horrible way and the war will just get fueled.

Well damn, maybe Russia should stop invading a sovereign nation and commiting genocide. That would stop the war instantly, I'm sure going back to the 2012 borders would suit Ukraine just fine.

Neither russia or the west seem to have any interested in ending this war as politicians and rulers are making big profits and gaining wealth and power.

One option is for Russia to end its invasion.

The other is for Ukraine to cease to exist as a country as Russia continues for the 3rd 4th 5th time to continue taking land despite any existing treaty or ceasefire agreement

One of these is a reasonable request, the other one is not.

Russia can continue to punch itself in the face until it sees reason. We do not expect Ukraine to sacrifice itself to Putin's non-existent mercy.

There are other options that would help this war to end such as the west stopping doing business with china who is refueling russia in this war or with turkey who is helping russia dodging the sanctions. Guess what? they don't give a shit, politicians and rulers are benefiting from this war, they send peasants to die in the front, they don't fight their wars. The west has been trading weapons with russia before the conflict the same way they are doing it now with saudi arabia or egypt.

Chinese arms companies and banks involved in military aid are subject sanctions. That's why China is mainly limited to supplying dual-use equipment but even that's being reigned in. But nothing is going to stop Russia from going through 2 or 3 shell companies to get what they need, it'll at least cost them more.

But sure let's double down and go off and completely crater US/China trade by trillions in hopes it'll vaguely impact Russia instead of just directly supplying Ukraine the weapons/aid they need until Russia is ready to stop invading them.

They are not going to do that because they don't care. Russians are chilling in dubai next to same western

Smoke from Запорожская АЭС (not запорижжия or whatever) is questionable for the black smoke we'd seen is pretty weird for that kind of facility.

What can end this war in your opinion? As it seems, if Ukraine give up, after a period of violence and filtration against locals, it won't stop Russia from planning another SMO on Kazakhstan, Georgia, Lithuania, Moldavia or other countries state officials officially threatened. If Russia give up in this war and stop this bullshit there wouldn't be any conflict and it's own standards of living would slowly return to pre-Crimean levels.

Not fueling it is a good way to go toward an end. Politicians and rulers are benefiting from this war, they don't fight their wars they send others to die while they drink champagne.

If Russia give up in this war and stop this bullshit there wouldn’t be any conflict

The cold war never officially end

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, okay, but that means China, Iran and NK would keep pumping Russia up with weapons to keep obliterating Ukraine. One-sided cutting of supply wouldn't work now or in the future.

No one officially said it even started, lol. There wasn't a note to proclaim it from either side. Yet, you can notice it wasn't like in the 50s when in the 90s and 00s the relationships between countries got warmer.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The west is doing business with china perfectly fine even as even you are aware that they supply russia in this war.

One-sided cutting of supply wouldn’t work now or in the future.

The west is the side that spend more and by a huge margin. Cutting the spending would work great for people now and in the future.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

You know these countries profit from Russia too, right?

What's this margin vs their GDP, for example?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You’re not even a shill - reading your history you appear to think your posts are intelligent.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I think not cheering up for actions that will not lead to the end of this war is the most intelligent thing to do in this case.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Strengthening Ukraine's position in any way imaginable is the only thing that has a chance to lead to an end of this war.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Strengthening authoritarian ukraine government in any way imaginable and squeeze them against russia will only result in war and misery for people.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

squeeze them against russia

Russia is kinda doing the squeezing, sorry mate. Their actions are what's resulting in war and misery. Letting them have their way would lead to more war and more misery for even more people.

Do you really think west governments give a shit about ukrainians while they are openly supporting the genocide in gaza and helping israel getting away with it?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

You're still here? Go away with your "infinitely changeable" Wikipedia links. Also Whataboutism. Ruzzia invaded Ukraine. Plain and simple. GTFO out of Ukraine. Game over. No more lives lost.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So you're saying Russia should stop the invasion so the war ends? I agree full heartedly.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Invading them back give them 0 reason to stop it

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Right back at ya, my vatnik friend ;)

Edit: See, if you're gonna (try to) apply logical reasoning, you have to apply it consistently and objectively. Otherwise it stops being logic and turns into dogma.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Let's hear a logical reasoning from you about how this war should end

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

Pootin pulls all troops from Ukraine. Pretty god damned simple.
