Wait, what?? Zelenskyy took office after being democratically elected in 2019. Russia invaded Ukraine and annexed the Crimea region of Ukraine in 2014. Your timeline does not check out there.
Zelensky took office on the promise of normalizing relations with Donbas and Russia, and then proceeded to do the opposite. Also, wonder what happened in 2014 that might’ve provoked a response from Russia there.
@theunknownmuncher Your timeline doesn’t go back far enough and I notice you completely ignored the bit about Eastern expansion of NATO and what the United States promised Russia.
Seems to me that you’re the one justifying genocide of people of Donbas by the fascists that took power in a violent coup backed by the west. Even western media reported on the far right problem in Ukraine and the ethnic cleansing in Donbas before the war started.
@yogthos@theunknownmuncher Well we are two weeks away from an Presidential election here in the US, going to be interesting to see where that goes. If Kamaltoe, er, Kamala gets it then probably we won’t even be able to discuss it anymore.
My expectation is that Ukraine is going to be dumped after the election regardless of who wins. The whole gig has run its course at this point, and there’s a new war with Iran being drummed up already.
@yogthos Trumps past record suggests not. The real question is what the outcome will be. I do expect if he is elected, we will see negotiated outcomes.
I think the events on the ground will be what dictates things ultimately. Russia is wining the war, and even western media is starting to grudgingly admit it. The west is basically tapped out in terms of material support, and Ukraine is running out of manpower to keep the war going. Eventually, it’s either gonna be NATO boots on the ground or Russia dictating terms. And the former almost certainly means a nuclear holocaust.
@theunknownmuncher I don’t justify genocide, I acknowledge ALL conflicts involve at least two sides, and to punish only one of those sides is to take part in said genocide rather than oppose it.
Okay then, so describe the 2 sides and the punishments they deserved during the Nazi Germany invasion of Poland/Europe and the holocaust. I hate to bring Nazis into it as an argument, but you did say “ALL” and it easily shows how ridiculous that take is.
It’s funny that the mere suggestion someone learn history gets downvotes. Oh I don’t want to do that. It takes so much effort. Much easier just to hate because MSNBC tells me to.

Your justification of genocide is both ludicrous and gross.
