Ah shit the goddamned Pope is a Russian troll
Or maybe people that think Ukraine should negotiate are actually just normal people that can analyze facts…
I love how mad this is making people.
He’s the Pope. Obviously he’s going to want peace. What the hell do people expect? He doesn’t care if land is Russian or Ukrainian as long as people stop dying. The geopolitics of the situation are simply not part of his ideology.
The moral compass of your average liberal is so fucked up the idea that people should die in large quantities for property is normal to them.
We’re not paying Dalai Lama to stay quiet. Have him say “to the last Ukrainian” immediately!
I mean, it wouldn’t be the first time feudal Tibet ended up featuring in Nazi propaganda.
Yeah, he’s old and didn’t use the happiest words… but the Vatican clarified he didn’t mean “unconditional surrender” and instead only meant “negotiate a peace deal”.
AFAIU (and also AFAIC - “as far as I care”) It’s not entirely clear yet if the Pope suggests that Ukraine should give up territory in exchange for peace (and what about reparations?) or if he just means “be good people and make peace” (which would be much more in line with how he usually talks). I don’t think whatever the Pope thinks will really be of much consequence given how geopolitically relevant this war is (“The Pope? How many divisions has he got?”)
This whole news/argument serves as great marketing for the TV program where the the interview will be broadcasted (which I’d assume is not unintentional)
I wonder if he would say the same thing if Russia attacked the Vatican.
Do you really think that’s a realistic scenario worth considering…?
