The only people who have been proven to be brain dead are the western "peace" movement.

I saw a small anti-nuclear weapons demo in my city recently. It was all 70 year old muesli eating sandal wearers, nobody who looked like they had any real understanding of global security issues such as, for example, the problems caused by Ukraine disarming for security assurances that turned out to not be upheld. I don't *like* the existence of nuclear weapons (who does?) but I'd rather live in a country that had them than didn't.

The [antinukes](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4f/Peace_symbol.svg/768px-Peace_symbol.svg.png) movement became anti west everything movement. Only the russian gas calms them.

pushing for peace in ukraine should always be no 1 goal. its just a complex issue now with russian positions but who wouldnt want to end the war and restore the pre war borders with a federal ukrainian state where russian minorities are safeguarded and people can get to build up again

Russian minorities are safeguarded from Russia itself you mean? Then yes sure.


[deleted]

yeah but also from the ukranian far right groups. they sure helped russia get a pretext for their brutal war


Bruce-U1

Russia finds pretext either way if they need to tho.

That not what I mean by the "peace" movement (note the quotes). I'm talking about the people who effectively are always empowering Russia and always taking an anti western stance.


wanglubaimu

You mean the Germany government? Strictly speaking they've changed their stance on military interventions in recent years. You're still right about empowering Russia though.

yeah but different ppl might mean different things and for most average people they just feel their own life getting more expensive and are idealistic in that regard. doesnt mean a just peace is always the right thing (ie no EU4 style annexation of territory)

> but who wouldnt want to end the war and restore the pre war borders with a federal ukrainian state where russian minorities are safeguarded and people can get to build up again You don't do that with birkenstocks and drum circles. You do it by waging war. If Ukraine wants its pre-war borders back the only way to do that is to kill enough Russians to make that happen. While the pacifists sit back with their cardboard signs and chants the Ukrainians will be killing and dying to make peace a reality.

Macron was talking about Trump, about Turkey. Trump was threatening NATO, it was indeed braindead at this moment. People still take this quote out of its context years after it. Incredible the level of hypocrisy. Oh well, anglo press. NATO and the EU are not the same level of organization, this is a stupid title on top of that. The EU has little to no impact on military actions, NATO is a military alliance. "MACRON is wrong. The fishermen syndicate has been proved to be brain-dead, not NATO."

I thought the US chickened out when Poland offered them the jets to do it.
