At the Munich Security Conference on February 14, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy delivered a wide-ranging speech focused on security guarantees, battlefield realities, Western responsibility, and what he described as the fundamental nature of Russia’s leadership.

    So forcing Ukraine to give up its arms, with no history of attacking its neighbours is something normal to do. For nothing, by the way, for a joke of security assurances. Only for Ukraine to observe the US administration to openly be Russian bitches doing whatever the daddy says.

    But forcing a balkanised middle of fucking nowhere based bunch of savages, with a history of attacking like, what, twenty neighbours during the previous century alone—

    Oh, yeah, that’s impossible for the western world to achieve. Let’s help the Russia as much as we can to never let them lose! Western civilisation is destined to be destroyed then, if it has absolutely no intellect. Not to say even something of values.

    Swap those warheads for bananas to save the barbarians from the starvation, when the Russia is small again. Haven’t occurred to you, huh?

      I’m describing the situation. I never said I support it.

      Never said I don’t either. It’s a complex situation, either way it resolves will greatly impact the world history for decades if not hundreds of years.

        Sorry, didn’t mean to attack you personally, rather this situation and the view. That’s just the point of view, and it’s wrong. It’s what Russia wants you to think, and it uses its fear. Somehow the west wasn’t afraid with Ukraine with no record of attacking neighbours giving up nukes to Russia with the proven record of attacking neighbours, and probably the biggest record during the previous century… somehow nobody thought its wrong. But now, ‘oh no, what if Russia loses and there is no Russia?!’ Fuck it, nukes aren’t going to launch themselves all of a sudden. A tiny regional power with nukes isn’t more dangerous than fucking big stupid Russia is. That’s a myth that benefits Russia.

        It’s nice to have the current thinking explained, so thank you for doing that. But it’s this point of view is just wrong. And naive, and it never helps the oppressed, only the oppressor.
