I want to end the war diplomatically, but only next year. Sorry, but some of our people need to die until I do what I already decided to do

It comes as German chancellor Olaf Scholz spoke with Mr Putin for the first time in nearly two years.

The German leader urged Mr Putin to pull his forces out of Ukraine and begin talks with Kyiv that would open the way for a “just and lasting peace”, the German government said.

The move was swiftly criticised by Mr Zelensky, who said the call had opened a “Pandora’s box” by undermining efforts to isolate the Russian leader.

“Now there may be other conversations, other calls. Just a lot of words,” said Mr Zelensky in his evening address on Friday. “And this is exactly what Putin has long wanted: it is extremely important for him to weaken his isolation and to conduct ordinary negotiations.”

Diplomacy in 2024 is bad actually. Only next year!

Truly the hero of our time.

The Russian ruling class would need to disabuse themselves of neoliberal dogmas

and the EU vassals went with it blindly

Do… do you not know how international trade works?

Of course they don’t, it’s the Wall Street Journal
They are incapable of having a coherent view of economics

You are a moron.

But you would be 50% less insufferable if you were actually completely, utterly ashamed about voting for the Dems, and spent 100% of your commenting energy scolding mainstream liberals for giving absolute dogshit neocon candidates in their purported fight against fascism.

But you are not ashamed, you are shamelessly scolding leftists who don’t want to vote for people committing genocide right now

You are absolutely out of your depth here and should just fuck back off to your radlib bubble

We are not going to convince you, since you are a clown, and you are clearly ineffective when you try to argue against actual leftists

Socialists were douchebags to the liberals because they didn’t take the threat of fascism seriously

Lolmao you absolute clueless clown

Is your memory really that short?

Absolutely ridiculous coming from someone not capable of understanding that the material conditions created by “harm reduction” neoliberal D governments of Clinton, Obama, and Biden actually accelerated the rise of fascism in the US

This is what Democrats did this year.

2 Pinocchios

Sorry, I guess only half of Democrats gave a standing ovation to King Leopold/Adolf Hitler

Who said anything about supporting them

Yes, I vote for them unconditionally, and I also argue publicly to vote for them unconditionally

Who said anything about supporting them

the guy who said Netanyahu should "Finish the Job

The Democrats literally gave a standing ovation to Netanyahoo a couple of days ago, and Kamala gave out a statement against the Pro-Palestine protesters

in other words, what the fuck are you talking about?
You are simply deluded, you live in an alternate reality

so you can feel morally superior about letting people die

THEY ARE SUPPORTING GENOCIDE IN GAZA AND THEY KEEP THE UKRAINE MEAT GRINDER GOING

You are literally describing yourself, fuck your harm reduction

I’m not American, but US policies have a material effect on me, and I hate liberals

The fundamental problem with leftists is that we’re mostly smug assholes who refuse to work with anyone we disagree with,

I’m not American - I’m saying you are worse than what liberals say Russian and Chinese are

anyone we disagree with,

• Economically they are neoliberals - leftists are opposed to neoliberalism
• Their foreign policy is brinkmanship, genocide and bombing allied infrastructure

This is 0/2- how are they not enemies rather than “someone I disagree with”?

until that changes we will remain completely irrelevant.

You will remain irrelevant because you’d vote D whatever they do. It seems like you represent the Dems as a project whatever they do, rather than they represent the voter base, earning votes.
Which is ass backwards.

YOU don’t do nothing! You’d unconditionally vote for the party committing genocide RIGHT NOW, their new candidate is not even a pivot, she’s the current VP of the administration supporting genocide!
You just float along the shit river… whatever the Democrats do, you’re there supporting them.
This is exactly why everything is getting more right wing.

or having the possibility of making better choices in the future

How’s that working out for you if you look at the past few elections? Did you manage to push Biden left? Have they prosecuted the American war criminals? How far is Genocide Joe from your ideal? Is Copmala gonna be better, improving material circumstances?
Can’t you see that neoliberalism had literally the opposite effect - pushed everything even more right and extreme?

Americans have this weird view of Russians and Putinists and liberals think that the Chinese are a brainwashed hivemind— but you look crazy from the outside when you argue for voting Mussolini against Hitler.
Democrats supported genocide and their brinkmanship with Russia got us closer to Nuclear Armageddon, fuck y’all
