How can he exit if Zelensky's goal is to retake Crimea, Donetsk and Lugansk?
- actionfromafar 3y agoHopefully we are about to find out.
- protomolecule 3y agoThat's wishful thinking.
- johnchristopher 3y agoHe lied about why the Russian army is in Ukraine and Russians bought it. He can lie about why the Russian army is leaving Ukraine and Russians will buy it. He can stop this war at any moment.
- protomolecule 3y agoJust like the US can stop this war at any moment by dropping support for Ukraine and pressuring them to negotiate. Or can't they?
- johnchristopher 3y agoOh, moving the goal post uh ? Pretty weak game you show here. > Just like the US can stop this war at any moment by dropping support for Ukraine and pressuring them to negotiate. Just like So you admit Putin could stop the war at any moment ? Good. Why don't you petition for that ? (oh wait, what happened to that guy that submission is about and who wasn't completely on board with Putin's leadership ?) What prevents him from stopping this war anyway ? Why won't he ? What terrible outcome would he or Russia face if he just declared "okay, we showed the world we ain't no pushovers, we are now confident Ukraine and NATO won't try to invade us because we showed them how strong we are" ? Anyway, that Putin guy has made it pretty clear he wants to knock off all of Ukraine. Only Russian shills and useful idiots believe otherwise. But that's not what you are, aren't you ?

- protomolecule 3y agoPutin will be done if he tries to abandon people of Crimea. "According to Tamila Tasheva, Zelensky’s representative in Crimea, if it were liberated tomorrow, at least 200,000 residents of Crimea would face collaboration charges, and another 500,000 to 800,000 residents would face deportation. Refat Chubarov, the chairman of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatars, says that more than 1 million people—more than half the current population—will have to leave “immediately.” " [0] https://foreignpolicy.com/2023/12/18/ukraine-russia-war-civil-rights-freedom-speech-religion/ https://foreignpolicy.com/2023/12/18/ukraine-russia-war-civi...
- fullspectrumdev 3y agoOh no, how terrible, all the Russian colonists who moved in after the annexation would have to leave, and collaborators would face justice.
- protomolecule 3y agoIn 2014 approximately 1.5 million Crimeans were ethnic Russians. In 2021 census there were about 200 thousand more. [0] [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Crimea#Ethnicities_and_languages https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Crimea#Ethnici...
