“Because in 2024, Ukraine is no longer facing Russia. Soldiers from North Korea are standing in front of Ukraine. Let’s be honest. Already in Ukraine, the Iranian ‘Shahedis’ are killing civilians absolutely openly, without any shame,” said Zaluzhny, adding that North Korean and Chinese weapons are flying into Ukraine. Zaluzhny urged Ukraine’s allies to draw the right conclusions. “It is still possible to stop it here, on the territory of Ukraine. But for some reason our partners do not want to understand this. It is obvious that Ukraine already has too many enemies. Ukraine will survive with technology, but it is not clear whether it can win this battle alone,” he said.
There was peace, then Russia invaded, then they’re was peace, then Russia invaded, then there was peace, then Russia invaded. This military doctrine pre-dates Russia in the region. How is peace to be established and preserved when Russia pisses all over every treaty it signs, and demonstrates time and again that they only value peace as an opportunity to regroup? Maybe you could remind us why Ukraine gave up the nukes that would have deterred conflict today.
If you keep insisting that dumping decades-old military garbage that would otherwise be scrapped doesn’t meaningfully aids the military industrial complex, I’m going to need to ask you how.
They keep attacking because there is no diplomacy. Russia and the US would have to iron it out. If there was open diplomacy and a strong NATO. What do you think will happen if they attack Ukraine again?
We keep ignoring deplomacy and point the finger at russia.
Ukraine surrendered nuclear weapons as a diplomatic concession - you can’t credibly argue that there’s no diplomacy.
With a nuclear deterrent either from Ukraine or NATO, Russia would be less likely to attack.
I’ll absolutely point the finger at Russia when they’re the one pissing on the diplomatic efforts, tearing up treaties, memoranda, and agreements, and invading their neighbours while threatening nuclear war and committing a bunch of warcrimes - how is this anyone’s fault but theirs?
The Clinton administration demonstrated strong diplomatic capabilities in 1994.
Regarding recent geopolitical tensions, it raises important questions, such as why Russia is engaging in conflicts with smaller neighboring countries.
Additionally, it’s worth noting that many of the gas and oil pipelines connecting Russia to the European Union pass through Ukraine. There have been allegations over the years that Ukraine has siphoned gas or oil from these pipelines, contributing to longstanding disputes. You are free to assign blame as you see fit, but I encourage you to consider multiple perspectives rather than relying solely on one side’s narrative.
