Well, if you decide to invade a neighbour country and threat others, peaceful coexistence can be quite difficult, or even impossible.
Ah, we’re back to the notion that Russia invaded Ukraine completely unprovoked and this was not a result of decades of NATO policy towards Russia.
I don’t think it’s realistic that anyone wants to be a pawn to a country that removes rights from people, denies free speech and jails anyone that opposes the government or current leader. It’s only logical that people seek friends elsewhere.
You seem to be pretty happy being a pawn of the US regime that does all these things.
Umm, no they’re not. Except if they are a neighbour country or have some strange relations to Russia.
They literally are.
Well, some countries do. And they’ve already looked elsewhere from deals. Some don’t have a replacement, that’s true. But the markets will not return to the state they were before the war.
You clearly don’t understand how food and energy production works if you think that.
Here bending the knee is not an option. People rather freeze instead.
We’ll see what these people say when they’re actually freezing.
Is this a threat? It’s a strange thing you condemn the war but you still hope that we get our asses kicked.
It’s very obviously not a threat. Simply an observation that people might react poorly to your rhetoric when they’re starving and freezing their asses off. It doesn’t appear that you comprehend that.
First of all, Europe cutting itself off from Russian energy had zero negative impact on Russian energy exports to date. If anything, Russia is making more money from energy exports than it ever has. This idiotic policy only hurts people in Europe.
Second, the war is a direct result of western actions since the fall of USSR. This is a well documented fact. Here’s what Chomsky has to say on the issue recently:
50 prominent foreign policy experts (former senators, military officers, diplomats, etc.) sent an open letter to Clinton outlining their opposition to NATO expansion back in 1997:
George Kennan, arguably America's greatest ever foreign policy strategist, the architect of the U.S. cold war strategy warned that NATO expansion was a "tragic mistake" that ought to ultimately provoke a "bad reaction from Russia" back in 1998.
Jack F. Matlock Jr., US Ambassador to the Soviet Union from 1987-1991, warning in 1997 that NATO expansion was "the most profound strategic blunder, [encouraging] a chain of events that could produce the most serious security threat [...] since the Soviet Union collapsed"
These and many other voices were marginalized, silenced, and ignored. Yet, now people are trying to rewrite history and pretend that Russia attacked Ukraine out of the blue and completely unprovoked.
The war in Ukraine will not be won by the west, and all the west is doing is ensuring that more Ukrainians die and more people in the west suffer.
All so that psychopaths can feel good about not bending the knee. Amazing how easy for you to fuck over lives of millions of people for your ideology. You are the definition of human garbage.
Still, cutting Europe from Russian’s energy and progressing to a more independent on that front benefits Europe more in the long run. So it’s not just sanctions.
Europe could be doing that without sabotaging its economy. Absolutely nothing stops Europe from building out alternative energy infrastructure while continuing having a secure energy supply.
It’s already a broken record by the propaganda front that this war is happening because of the western actions.
It’s not propaganda. It’s literally what pretty much every western expert has been saying for decades. It’s absolutely surreal that people continue to deny this.
What about Putin dismissing a peace proposal in the spring:
And by bending the knee millions of people have been killed or injured just because of cheap energy. Hooray for your ideals. If something is fucked, that certainly is.
Ah right, the thing you made up as opposed to thing that’s actually happening.
Concerning you, it’s safe to remove the “human” part from the definition of garbage.
