  • I'm happy to see you've accepted we're not bots or something, but

    that there are literal communities that are hardcore china or russia fans because of the leftism.

    Is just a wrong assumption. The point is to never stop the critique. It's just that we a) accept the nuance in and the reality of the Ukrainian conflict rather than repeat the lines NATO feeds the west through established media (doesn't mean we're fans of putin, but since the start of the conflict any nuance has been labeled as 'Russia apologia'. Russia is a neoliberal, capitalist state and nowhere does this align with my ideals, doesn't mean ima start referring to Russian people as 'orcs'). And b) yeah while china absolutely has its shortcomings (like the disparity between rural and urban China), it is doing some pretty cool stuff too, you should read up about it. This all is of course combined with the knowledge that the west is the primary purpetrator of imperialism, death, desease, hunger, poverty and instability in the global south, while not even being able to channel the stolen wealth to its citizens in order to make some billionairs even richer.

  • Hell, at first you said NATO made a proposition, nicely ignoring that they didn't do such a thing at all. As I said, and as we agree, it's a nato official, blurting something out.

    NATO has pushed ukraine deeper and deeper I to this conflict, casualties be damned. You speak as if the Ukrainian working class can't wait for the opportunity to get blown to pieces by artillery for some bourgeoisie state that's already stelling of the nations assets to the highest western bidder. NATO forces the Ukrainians to use counter insurgency tactis they've deployed for war crimes in the global south, expecting Ukrainian draftees to be so filled with patriotism (that, or hatred for those damned asiatic hordes) they'd happily drive into a minefield for Zelensky.

    Had NATO been open to ending the war, the war would have already ended. Yet they keep sending weapons upon weapons (to what end? Do you really think ukraine is going to get crimea back? As the famed counteroffensive should point out, they're no where close, and they'll never be.)

    What I'm willing to give you is that maybe now, NATO pencil pushers see the reality of the situation on the field, that the tens (hundreds?) of thousands of Ukrainians they've sent to their deaths died for absolutely nothing. Maybe now, with this nato official blurting out the thought/proposing it through a rigourus chain of command, the Ukrainians realise NATO fed them to the meat grinder to advance its own geopolitical intrests. Even if Now NATO starts to carfully think about negotiations, that doesn't undo the fact that NATO has kept this conflict going for far longer than it needed to, out of sheer self (but mainly American, see the Nord stream pipeline) intrests.

    Edit, said keystone instead of nordstream pipeline

    Oh shit nvm you're that 'NATO is giving guarantees to eastern Europe' guy lmao.

  • Bruh you havent read anything since the third grade. It's about how a nato official blurted something out for which he almost emediatly had to apologize. 'Not ruling out' is just a first sign of NATO coming to terms with the fact they'll run out of Ukrainians sooner or later. If this war ends, it'll be through negotiations, and like it or not, Russia has the stronger position. But you're happy to keep throwing bodies into the meat grinder.

  • Bruh nato sending ukraine weapons is a good argument to point to when asked how nato keeps this war going. We're not pro Russia, neither are we pro nato. We want an end to the bloodshed, where as you look at thousands of dead Ukrainians and then pretend this is a good thing because you care so much about Poland or something. You wipe a solid argument off the table because you gave it some vague explenation (show members they'd stand by them? Even if that were the reason, it doesn't justify the tens of thousands of dead you seem to not take into account at all).

  • Bruh Idk how you got convinced there are so many bots around. Like, sure, if you write off everything that differs from the nato line of thought as bots, then sure, believe what you want. But ti me that's just absurd. I assume that people I interact with are actual humans, even if their opinions suck ass. But to be so far up your own ass, as to not even acknowledge that people can think other things than you without them being some evil, heinous bot is just fuckin stupid
