You know where I heared this type of argument before? Israel.
I'm talking about Ukraine.
Any critic, regardless about what it is, directed at the state of Israel is automatically today discarded as antisemitism by them. You are just using their playbook, if you are not for us, you are automatically against us. Sadly for you reality rarely works in that kind of way.
Your perspective on the russo-Ukraine war promotes Ukrainian capitulation to russia and neutrality on part of the West. Perhaps you should address that instead of trying to dismiss via weak comparisons.
I am not anti Ukrainian nor pro Russian.
Your dogma is firmly in the camp of the russians. Perhaps you are just repeating what your government says. Perhaps in comparison to other people in your daily life you do radically support Ukraine. I take issue with the general position of the German people on this conflict. I've lived there. I have family born there and from there. My criticisms against the German perspective are harsh. I have mean things to say about the general perspectives of people living in many countries, though. No need to be so sensitive about it.
You are just too dumb to recognize that.
Of course. Clearly because I disagree with your perspective and find it repulsive, I must be some kind of smooth-brained moron.
In fact if Ukraine could be back in the area of pre 2014 this would be great, but this is not going to happen anytime soon.
russia has neither the troops, resources, munitions, or equipment to fully occupy all of the Ukrainian oblasts they seek to illegally annex. They are also free to leave Ukraine whenever they so choose. The AFU is struggling to push the russians out because countries like American, France, Germany, and Britain provide weapons at the speed of a drip-feed and constantly try to avoid trying to piss off russia. The AFU is struggling to push the russian back in many areas because of this. It is not the fault of the Ukrainian soldiers fighting for the freedom of their state. They are doing the best that they can within the means and rules and with the help of others. In order for "anytime soon" to become a reality, Ukraine's so-called allies need to seriously step it up. "Anytime soon" can come around anytime Ukraine's allies want it to. And it might happen at any moment, anyway. The ussr collapsed rather quickly. russia will likely collapse in an instant when the time comes. And it could come at any moment. Their ecomony is weak and eating itself to prolong the their war of choice.
You've got to keep a realistic view on things, which you obviously don't have.
I don't think Ukraine should be forced to negotiate for their land in hopes of a fake peace deal, nor do I believe in standing idly by while others suffer. There is no point in the exsistence of demoncracy if democratic countries are not willing to aid and help each other. It's not that my viewpoint in not realalistic, it's that you have been indoctronated into believing exactly what the russians want you do while they continue waging their genocidal war. russia doesn't want peace. They seek to regain their old soviet empire and will not stop until they either collapse or have extented their boarder all the way back to Berlin and rebuilt the wall.
About your nuclear arms dreams, which also your president once mentioned: this was meant as a wakeup call, nothing else. Your president isn't dumb, he knows if he would start efforts in that direction it would mean an escalation we have not witnessed in the conflict until today. More importantly though it contains the risk of the West cutting off all support at once if such a program would be started. Which is why he very shortly after withdrew from this ambition
Ukraine isn't a signatory on any sort of agreement pertaining to the proliferation of nuclear weapons. There are also one of very few countries who could produce a nuclear weapon without importing any sort of help or material. Striking moscow and st peterburg is absolutely not out of the question. And think about it. Imagine you were putin and I was the president of Ukraine. Would you be willing to risk it. Ukraine hits what they want and russia is nearly powerles to stop it. If Ukraine can't win, it's entirely possibly that they can make it so the russians can't either. All the more reason to help Ukraine. Ukraine's allies should not be forcing Ukrainian leadership to consider such drastic measures. But they are. Because many of them still do not understand.
Ukraine is totally capable of doing so, but not overnight. It would take few years probably, and also the locations of centrifuges and such would be hard to keep secret all over that time.
I agree with this last bit. Ukraine is completey capable of doing this. But I think they could do this much faster than most people would think. I don't think they would have any trouble hiding it.
