    Nope. His dream is no war and his country made whole as guaranteed by multiple treaties.

        So why the fuck did Russia need to be the one to start it.

        If they thrive on war. Surely they would have been invading russian territory. Rather then sitting and Following the treaties with Russia. That Russia chose to break and invade Ukraine.

        It’s a fucking stupid argument.

            Why recent. Do you think treaties expire when your friends don’t like them any more.

            They have not been first to break an international treaty they signed since leaving the USSR. Russia broke several when they invaded Ukraine.

            Nations that thrive on war tend to invade other nation. They do not wait for other to invade them.

              Ukraine was constitutionally and treaty-bound to neutrality. That was one of the conditions for their independence. They violated that condition in 2014 when they decided to become an anti-Russia NATO proxy. They invaded and bombed the Donbass republics which declared independence following an illegal and unconstitutional Nazi coup in 2014. They took away the constitutionally protected status of the Russian language and have systematically repressed its use and persecuted its speakers.

              Russia acted strictly according to international law fulfilling their humanitarian obligation to protect the people of the Donbass from genocide, who were under attack and formally requested Russia’s assistance according to the legal right to collective self-defense enshrined in article 51 of the UN charter.

                Ukraine never joined NATO. Inventing bullshit arguments about friendships with nations you dislike. In no fucking way counts as a treaty violation. Invading another fucking nation dose.

                  The illegitimate post-2014 Kiev regime changed the Ukrainian constitution to include an explicit statement of intent to join NATO. NATO has been courting Ukraine since at least 2008. NATO pumped Ukraine full of weapons and military training. The anti-Russian Neo-Nazi junta that illegally seized control of the country after the Maidan coup severed trade and diplomatic ties with Russia in favor of NATO and the EU. Kiev agreed to host NATO troops and bases on Ukrainian territory. All of this happened before Russia intervened in 2022. All of these constitute a violation of their neutrality pledge.

    Of course he does, Russia will outlast Ukraine in the long run if NATO countries don’t start joining the fight. I don’t see how it would be a surprise that he dreams of getting actual help.

    Even if Ukraine somehow wins this, the war got to be exhausting and stressful for him and everyone else involved. Getting help, or even just a second enemy for Russia to be distracted by, would be a positive for them no matter where this goes.

        I mean, it’s positive for both sides. Russia has a war economy now, they NEED to keep going or their economy will collapse. And a war with NATO might get China involved as well on their side, so it’s not like Russia would be fucked for sure.

        Ukraine isn’t a US puppet btw (I assume that’s whom you mean with nazis). I do disagree with the nazi claim too, but I’m not going to be able to convince you there, so I’m not going to try either. But Ukraine isn’t a US puppet, they literally have to beg the US to help them out. A puppet wouldn’t have to ask, as their actions would be in their master’s interest in the first place. They’d get full support. Whether you believe them to be the good or the bad guys, Ukraine is in this of its own volition, not because the US or Europe told them they have to fight.

          I agree, it would be more correct to call them a NATO puppet, or even just a EU puppet at this point.

          Either way, they are a puppet.

          A puppet can’t dictate to its master. That’s what puppets do - beg for help and wish the master will comply. In this case, they were promised something and feel like they’re eligible. The only problem is that the master wasn’t really going to fulfill its promises, not in the current situation anyway.
