Russia seems to be completely reliant on others economically and militarily also, but that doesn't seem to matter to you

Lol

It really depends. If Russia gets to keep territory it conquered, keep children it kidnapped, not pay for the destruction and murder it wrought, see sanctions lifted and proceed to immediately re-arm and continue on its path of indoctrinating children into becoming fascist warriors for the next round, I wouldn't call that peace.

Any evidence of that or you just blowing hot air?

Just like the thousands of other war crimes, yes.

Plenty, yes. A majority, far from it.

If you are left leaning you should perhaps oppose imperialism?

Well, here's the scoop: Russia is a land empire. The soldiers dying on the front are disproportionately taken from minority ethnicities, who live under the same conditions as any other colonized people.

There are liberal opposition figures, sure. They are a small minority - by most generous estimations, maybe around 15% of Russians. The far right opposition is much greater in Russia, unfortunately.

Yes, we should just let China and Russia run roughshod over everyone.

TBH, if the military just did some proper accounting and auditing, it would save a ton of money and be just as efficient.

Lol really.

How many Russian civilians has Ukraine "indiscriminately killed", compared to Russia's "collateral damage" when they target "Ukranian command centers".

Reading this sort of abject nonsense on a day where a Ukranian market was hit with an S300, killing.a minimum 16 people, or when Russia spent the whole winter trying to freeze Ukrainians to death, or bombs cafés where authors and journalists are known to congregate...

You know what, just fuck you, you genocidal apologist. And fuck Russia, nation of barbarians.

I think he should sue them as well, so when he loses it's another loss for this shitburger of a human.

"Some people have two mommies or two daddies" is not "showing sex toys to people", and you are well aware of that fact.

Sure, but there is a chilling effect.

Imagine being Jewish and the state decides that being Jewish is so bad that you can't explain it to schoolchildren, even those who might have questions about it. You think, as a Jewish person, that it's a healthy state to remain in?

This idea that teaching kids about sexual orientation means teaching about sex (MORAL PANIC PROTECT THE CHILDREN!!) is hot garbage, just a cover for conservatives to discriminate and scare gay people away. Just happens that one of them is the only pediatric heart surgeon they had.

Teaching that is ok if Jane has two daddies/mommies is not teaching about sexual intercourse or anything of the sort. They just don't want kids to know that gay people even exist.

Ukraine needs to get within artillery range of certain major logistical hubs to hamper Russian reinforcement and supply via the southern corridor. And it is close, now. The Russian administrators of Melitopol have already abandoned the place.

With ATACMS, this would have been easier, fyi.

Only people who don't understand the situation repeat the sort of thing you are claiming.

Furthermore, the US aid to Ukraine was mostly stuff that was destined to be decommissioned. The "billions of dollars" is on paper, not in fact. Nothing Ukraine is receiving from the USA is current gen or in use by the US and therefore isn't diminishing the US armed forces. Arguably it's actually increasing US strength, since the USA is now ramping up artillery shell production.

From a strategic standpoint, destroying the Russian military (estimated around 50% of Russia's MBTs and Airforce) in exchange for stuff you weren't going to use anyway is a bargain.
