Isnt this admitting intent to shoot at the plant if they haven’t been the ones doing so already? How can they target troops shooting from it (this is terrible) without risking shelling the plant?

It’s been very confusing reading and watching people say that Russia is allegedly shelling this place while also admitting they control it. Are they shooting themselves?

Why is it so hard to call it like it is. Both need to stop

But unfortunately they’re caught in this horrible position and still have lines they can’t break

Shooting at a plant is one of them.

Them being attacked first doesn’t excuse much of anything

He was right here for sure

His offensive realism explains the ukraine conflict much better than his later work

Hey don't hate on autistic people. Not only is it wrong and ableist but guarantee at least one autistic person gave critical input to those missiles which are doing humanity a service in ukraine

Just like how a lot of the soldiers that trained the Ukrainians probably have adhd like me.

They don't wanna hear it

Weird that the thirdworldists are s***ting their pants over a tiny impoverished country fighting for its freedom

Thirdworldism apparently means always siding with the bigger dictatorship

lmfao what the f***

frankito got cloned into a better poster

send him, emu and tragedy to mediate the conflict

You complicate the few sentences i type each time lol. I typed "shooting a plant" multiple times and your response is if i'm interpreting that he wants to bomb it ??? We can do better than this cmon.

All i noted was him implying that Ukraine is (or intends to) shelling this nuclear plant since its Russia who occupies it. I posted a tweet with his quote. He said troops at the plant could be targets, but to hit a target at a nuclear plant, you'd have to risk hitting the nuclear plant.

The whole story of this plant has been the danger for the whole continent that shelling it risks. No one should be shelling a nuclear plant, I hope that's something we all can agree on. This doesn't mean Russia is in the right. Occupying a nuclear plant also creates a similar danger. No one's "right" here and I'd like to see it framed that way rather than dodging half the story which is what i see and read each day. Of course he has a choice.

Zelensky has stated that if referendums take place (as Russian installed governor of zaporizhua has announced), there will be no peace talks

He’s made it pretty clear for a while now peace talks aren’t happening lol idk why he keeps saying s*** like this as if they were at all on the table

Everyone should just give up on peace talks at this point

Like he's also stated just in the past couple weeks there won't be peace talks until they push Russia out of the entirety of Ukraine

Any Ukraine talks would be a surrender since they don't have much of a negotiating position (them nor the West will allow this) and Russia has already indicated they're ready to go for other regions if they win Donbass.

peace talks are more of a strategic gamble for both sides than anything.
for russia, if they settle in peace talks which only include Donbass, it's essentially going to be seen as them being too weak to actually win the war. they can try to domestically spin it as they put Ukraine into a position of mutual surrender, but it's doubtful the message will be understood as such abroad. And while this may seem like boiling things down to ego, i don't think that's what it is - it has to do a lot more with Russia trying to position themselves as being strong enough politically of an actor that they can get their way w/o adhering to foreign or external pressures; something they've been keen on doing in light of sanctions. If they go halfway on a literal war, then the picture painted to foreign countries is that Russia is weak enough that they can't barter when faced with attrition.
on the other hand, a peace talk for ukraine doesn't really change that much; it puts them in a situation which isn't that different from crimea's annexation, basically an ambigious period of waiting as to if the ceasefire will be respected and if russia will long-term stay happy with just maintaining donbass (and this is assuming, of course, that ukraine themselves are okay with such - if not there's no basis for peace talks at all). of course, ukraine is playing with fire either way - it's essentially just a war of ambigious attrition on either end. Ukraine's main end goal is to hope Russia's military collapses because of sustained engagement before theirs does first, which is mainly reliant on foreign arms at this point.
Peace talks aren't really a great look for either party

Wouldn't normally say this about ordinary Russian soldiers as most of them are poor deceived boys.

But I am personally overjoyed to see that some wagner members died and am absolutely happy it happened, and hope ukraine takes out the entire rest of the wagner group. Opposite of a war crime this one was a war altruism

By giving ukraine these himars Biden has done more to fight fascism than every Russian, soviet or chinese leader of the last half centrury
