    Speaking of the headline, politicians when encouraged to attempt peace through negotiation rather than insisting on decisive victory being the only way

      can’t tell if this is some genuine post, or pro-russia shilling for peace negotiationing between Ukraine and Russia

          not sure why you are facepalming, I live in a neighboring country to Ukraine and a lot of people here according to polls think that Ukraine should just give up Crimea and accept peace.

            That’s the frying pan saying “at least I’m not as bad as the fire!”

        I genuinely want peace through negotiation and equally genuinely believe that the war is the result of the imperialist ambitions and heinous actions of the despicable war criminal Putin. Clear enough for you?

          yeah but as it stands the “peace treaty” involves Ukraine giving up the occupied territories. SO you can’t really be pro Ukraine and pro peace treaty at the same time.

            Of course I can. This isn’t some dumbed down video game on rails where you get one treaty from however many years ago and that’s it.

            There’s happened a shitload since then, most of it to detriment of the ones that demanded territorial concessions at the start of the war.

            If anything, you can’t be pro the regular people of Ukraine who are needlessly being shelled if you’re not pro negotiation of a better peace treaty.

      If Russia stops fighting, the war ends. If Ukraine stops fighting, Ukraine ends. And Russia is more likely to try again in another neighbor. Like they have multiple times already.

      Letting Russia consolidate its territorial gains, build bases and continue the war in a few years is a terrible idea. They are more than welcome to turn their tanks around and leave Ukraine.

    The “Be the change that you want to see in the world” blue poster makes it extra funny.

    …I never noticed that there was an emoji for yerba mate. It’s now my favourite thing ever. 🧉

      I think the green one is misspelled. It reads:

      “No llores porque termino, sonrie porque sudecio”

      That almost makes sense. It should be “sucedio”.

      It translates to “don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened”

        Yes that’s the one I meant. But bonus points to the fellow member here; I didn’t even see the porque bit.

        Also “porque” has a tilde where it should not. In the context of the poster it means “because”, not to be confused with “why” that is spelled “por qué”.
