Could the Russians stop invading another country's sovereign land?

[–] LarkinDePark@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 6 months ago (2 children)

They have no sovereign anything. The US took that from them when they overthrew their democracy in 2014.

Unlike Russia, Ukraine actually had fair elections.

[–] LarkinDePark@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 6 months ago

Nope. Ukraine has not had elections.

In fact, following America's Nazi coup, the Ukrainian Rada voted to reject the illegal ousting of Yanukovic. The US ignored this and put their puppet in power anyway.

Kinda hard when the other country makes it a crime to negotiate a peace deal

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

As long as the "peace deal" involves "give us your land" then it is not a peace deal, it is extortion.

They already took the land. The peace deal involves not throwing 50 year olds into killing fields just to lose more.
