If I steal your car and tell everyone that I won’t steal more from you if you just let me keep your car… you’d be good with that?

I could believe that of any major country directly profiting from this. But what’s your reliable source for all that, especially Zelenskyy?
fallowseed@lemmy.world 4 days ago
okay now that i’ve given you my source and its been subsequently downvoted, maybe you’d like to share some of your wonderful and trustworthy sources?
Lemminary@lemmy.world 4 days ago
Uh, no. I literally just read your reply right now. But you can be confidently wrong about all that.
fallowseed@lemmy.world 4 days ago
i said ‘some weirdo’ sorry if you feel that i’m implicating you. still waiting on your sources though.

Considering the type of shit you say? Well deserved.
fallowseed@lemmy.world 4 days ago
i may disagree with you but i don’t think you deserve malicious bad faith actors attempting to smear and undermine you for your beliefs… i offer dialogue, i answer questions i’m asked, i try to maintain a semblance of approachability-- i am met with insults and brigading. the type of shit i say is not in a vacuum, i don’t suppose you read any of the vitriol i am responding to when i lose my better self to slap back here and there.

Well your account is only 3 weeks old, so surely can’t have too many posts
fallowseed@lemmy.world 3 days ago
306comments / 21days… about 14.5 comments per day- the bulk of them come from entrenched arguments and my addiction to receiving even more downvotes and baseless insults.

That doesn’t seem to be what Chad Freeman thinks on the matter.
He seems to post that the US and Russia are pro-continued war, while Ukraine (and Zelensky) would (obviously) like it to end, though probably not at the cost of both Russian occupied zones.
US and Russia both gain from continued warfare, so poor Ukraine is stuck in the middle.

Ukraine already made peace when they gave up their nuclear weapons in exchange for Russia’s promise that they would respect Ukraine’s sovereignty in the Belarus Memorandum in 1994. A promise which Russia broke repeatedly.
Russia has demonstrated over and over again that it will not abide by its own peace agreements. Russia cannot be trusted to honor any treaty. There can be no peace so long as they are duplicitous.

“In 2014, after a well-prepared[3] US-sponsored anti-Russian coup in Kyiv, Ukrainian ultranationalists banned the official use of Russian and other minority languages in their country and, at the same time, affirmed Ukraine’s intention to become part of NATO. Among other consequences, Ukrainian membership in NATO would place Russia’s 250-year-old naval base in the Crimean city of Sebastopol under NATO and hence U.S. control. Crimea was Russian-speaking and had several times voted not to be part of Ukraine. So, citing the precedent of NATO’S violent intervention to separate Kosovo from Serbia, Russia organized a referendum in Crimea that endorsed its reincorporation in the Russian Federation. The results were consistent with previous votes on the issue.
Meanwhile, in response to Ukraine’s banning of the use of Russian in government offices and education, predominantly Russian-speaking areas in the country’s Donbas region attempted to secede. Kyiv sent forces to suppress the rebellion. Moscow responded by backing Ukrainian Russian speakers’ demands for the minority rights guaranteed to them by both the pre-coup Ukrainian constitution and the principles of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). NATO backed Kyiv against Moscow. An escalating civil war among Ukrainians ensued. This soon evolved into an intensifying proxy war in Ukraine between the United States, NATO, and Russia.”
from former ambassador chas freeman. you know what came after this ? a brokered peace agreement by osce france and germany in which various terms were settled which neither france, nor germany, nor ukraine were intending to uphold. this is the minsk agreement.
there’s a lot of history you like to leave out, and i’m sure you’ll deign to forget this history, too.

Citing Crimean election results from a nation that “keeps overwhelmingly voting Putin into office, as his opponents are too dead to run” is a bold move.
NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 4 days ago
What the fuck source are you even quoting from?
NATO aggression is one of Putin’s favorite talking points. If you’re just going to parrot his propaganda then no one rational should listen to anything you have to say.
Where “backing” means “sending Russian military across the Ukrainian border illegally in order to conduct an invasion based on a flimsy pretext”, yeah, Russia backed them.
