That solution might be obvious, but it is also obvious that negotiating settlement with terrorists is not a good idea in a long run.

- qsort 4y agoCurrent politics 102: Pretend that a genocidal war of aggression waged by a terrorist state and involving several war crimes -- among which mass rape -- amounts to a minor disagreement over policy details.
- zosima 4y agoPolitics 101: Claim that your enemy is a genocidal aggressor madman and is devoid of all humanity. Real war 101: All sides commit horrible atrocities. Just stop it.
- qsort 4y agoAh yes, all sides. Obviously. Is this satire? It doesn't matter that one side is waging aggressive war, doesn't it? It doesn't matter that only one side is murdering civilians and raping women doesn't it? How awfully convenient.

- zosima 4y agoThis seems naive or even infantile. When USA invaded Iraq, ought we then also to have supported the Iraqi rebels? US soldiers committed some nasty war crimes, didn't they? Ukrainian soldiers have no doubt, committed nasty war crimes too. Modern war is horrible. When your friends are one second standing beside you, the next randomly blown up into a pool of flesh and blood, you can be certain there will be war crimes, because people break in that environment. It's not a Russian or American or Ukrainian thing.
