Donbas has always been the main issue between Ukraine and Russia, and if Zelensky actually followed through on his platform Russia would’ve likely not cared about Ukraine joining the EU. In fact, they even said as much. Instead, Zelensky did a 180 on what he said he’d do and now we are here.
My dude. I’m from Toretsk. I’ll give you a second to google where that is.
We voted for him because we wanted the change he was promising. Which was to distance ourselves from the corruptive influence of Russia and move closer to the EU. It’s not like my poeple haven’t even trying to do this for years now.
The fact that you can’t even conceive of being able to distance yourself from Russia without escalating tensions with Russia is why your country where it is today. USSR and NATO didn’t want to do with one another during the Cold War, but managed to avoid actual hot conflict. The fact that people can’t even imagine peaceful coexistence today is rather depressing.
You still don’t seem to understand that your country is just seen a pawn by US, they don’t care about you at all. RAND literally published a study titled Extending Russia explaininig how Russia could be drawn into a war in Ukraine. They weren’t even hiding it. Yet, some clowns still think that the west is there helping them.
This all ends when US decides they’ve invested enough into this grift and move on. The same way Vietnam, Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan ended. If you think you’re country is going to be the one where it’s different you’re even more of a 🤡 than I originally thought. You’re just a resource being spent in a geopolitical game US is playing.
US is the only reason this war is still going, and once US inevitably abandons Ukraine things will get a lot worse.
Meanwhile, Russia is very obviously not going to fuck off at this point. The sooner people Ukraine start engaging with reality the better off things will be for Ukraine.
You’ve proven your sympathies well, here. And I believe you’ve persuasively shown you are who and how they say you are.
I do agree, as an American, that we should be seen as somewhat psychopathic. We want what we want and don’t always follow through like promised. That said, I don’t see too many futures where containing Russia isn’t enough to hold our attention (and therefore, resources).
Your country is a genocidal regime that’s responsible for some of the most despotic crimes against humanity. Currently, your regime is cynically using the people of Ukraine as a way to try and weaken Russia as the paper RAND published prior to the war very clearly explains.
You continue to respond in poor faith and describe me in ways that are inaccurate. Or pretend that Americans are a monolith, you have a unique objective view of the monolith, and I fit that monolith. Then you respond to me as that stereotype you’ve created. And as though I’m in full agreement.

How TF did we escalate tensions? They invaded us. 🤡. All this ends when they leave.
People like Mearsheimer explained in detail precisely how the west used Ukraine to escalate tensions over seven years ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrMiSQAGOS4

You have a reading comprehension issue. I’ve already stated the problem I have with the US being involved. I know full well what the US is doing.
That doesn’t change the fact that Russia can fuck off. Period. End of story. No amount copy pasting the same shit over and over will change that.

Russia is the only problem here.
Repeating that over and over accomplishes absolutely nothing.

This isn’t going anywhere.
You’re arguing with a tankie, dude, don’t bother
You’re just straw manning here since I didn’t say a single thing about you. So, you’re definitely right it’s not going anywhere.
