24 h later — 24 days later — 24 weeks later — 24 months later..
Isn't this a franchise?

24 h later: "Oh gee this is hard, I thought we just had to say 'cut it out'. Fuckin' never mind."

Pretty pathetic because Putin just offered up an easter cease fire with no conditions and all we have to do to put a stop to this is turn off the bullet spigot and tell Ukraine it's time to negotiate or no more aid.
-
- Ukraine agreed to the Easter cease fire, Russia violated it instantly. Here's Russian FPV drones attacking civilians during the "cease fire"
- The most recent agreed-upon cease fire before that I was really aware of was the agreement not to target each other's energy infrastructure which was followed the same day with extensive attacks by Russia on Ukraine's energy infrastructure
- If you deny the underlying facts of those (which I feel like you will), you can look just at the simple logical proposition: Cease fire is always an existing option for the Russian military. Go the fuck home. Then no one will be firing on you.

You say "negotiate", but mean "surrender". Surrender land, people, rights...
It's funny it's up to Ukraine to stop the war. The one being attacked. The one attacking can't do anything to stop itself. Just not possible. It's the fault of the small country and the one aiding. Of course there would be no war if they had managed to conquer it all in three days, but this belligerent Ukrainians didn't want to, so there's war. "It's only rape because you resist" mentality there.
And BTW, they are open to negotiate. Just not with a knife to the neck.

What am I supposed to do about Russia's side? I can only pressure my own government. If my government keeps giving Ukraine weapons and stopping peace talks, more Ukrainians and Russians will die in a meaningless war. It's not fair to Ukrainians to lose part of the territory of their nation state because Russia invaded it, sure, but it's also not fair to anyone that NATO wants to do brinkmanship against Russia and decided to fight a proxy war through Ukrainians. I don't see how any of the points you're bringing up are supposed to make anyone feel like peace in Ukraine is a bad thing.

Jesus Christ, this is darkly accurate. I stole this for use up above here.

My gift for all the lovely people in the comments saying how Ukraine and the US just need to "want peace" and "negotiate" in order for the war to end:

the reason trump is flipping on this is probably because it's beneficial for the US to keep Europe bogged down with the war in Ukraine, especially now that theyre looking to pressure Europe into their dumbfuck tradewar with China
I like how Hexbear gets all bent out of shape whenever anyone comes to Hexbear to engage in "trolling" (meaning any point of view that violates the monoculture), and use it to justify shit pictures and death threats and all that kind of fun stuff. And then, also, they come to the normal people's comment threads and do... this.
I’m on an instance that’s federated with hexbear and I’ve just not really seen anything like that happen. Y’all on Lemmy.world and such blew hex bears way out of proportion.
