Problem for dems is that it’s way too late to replace him now. They had to accept reality last year and run a real primary. Instead they waited until the last moment, and now there’s not enough time for somebody new without an existing voter base to start campaigning.

Except that you don’t need uranium for nuclear reactors. The reason it’s used traditionally because it’s also used for nuclear weapons. Thorium is a much better fuel that’s more abundant. China has already started operating these types of reactors. The other advantage of this design is that they use molten salt instead of water for cooling. Molten salt reactors don’t need to be built next to large bodies of water, and they are safer because salt becomes solid when it cools limiting the size of contamination in case of an accident.

It only seems even when you ignore the fact that Russia is winning the war.

Do you have a source for that? My understanding was hat Putin was allowed to pull back his troops, ending the war, without asking for permission from Ukraine? Or is it China he needs permission from? I’m confused. Who exactly is bossing Putin around saying he can’t withdraw?

That’s not what happened. Russia pulled back troops as part of Istanbul negotiations as a show of good faith. You do sound very confused indeed, which is likely why you keep making incoherent statements here. Perhaps spend a bit of time learning about the subject first?

You can keep repeating this as much as you like, but that won’t change reality.

Except Ukraine has already admitted that they were close to having a deal before Bojo visit. Then the stance changed to the quote you’re giving.

yogthos OP ,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

If you don’t understand what Russia winning militarily has to do with anything there’s really no point continuing the discussion.

Putin could end the war tomorrow. He chooses not to. Maybe he chooses not to, because he thinks he is winning? It does not matter. What matters is that he chooses not to end it, killing millions.

The west continues to use Ukraine as a proxy to try and weaken Russia, killing millions. The west could stop doing this any time, yet chooses not to.

Overthrowing a democratically elected government in a country to install a fascist regime that sacrifices the country for western interests is definitely a good analogy for rape.

yogthos OP ,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

If the west stopped supporting Ukraine, Ukraine would continue to fight for some time still.

The war would be over immediately.

And after a capitulation there would likely ne purges killing still more Ukrainians.

There wouldn’t.

So no, Ukraine could not end the killings tomorrow. Putin could. He chooses not to. He chooses the death of millions of Russians and Ukrainians. Because he truly does not care.

Yes it could, but you will never accept the reality so the war will keep going and people will keep dying. The blood is on the hands of war mongers such as yourself. People like you are what makes this war possible.

yogthos OP ,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

Again, Putin is the only one who can guatanteed end this. You ignore that.

I’ve addressed this repeatedly, and you’re the one ignoring what you’re being told because it doesn’t fit with your narrative.

The west abandoning Ukraine in no way guarantees that Russia stops killing Ukrainians, or Ukrainians stop killing Russians.

Ensuring that more Ukrainians die without changing the outcome of the war is not helping Ukrainians.

The only person who can end this within a day, Putin, chooses not to, and instead chooses the deaths of millions.

You keep repeating this, but it’s a blatantly false statement as we both know.

You keep mentioning how the west could end this, but are completely silent about the fact that so could Putin, and with much less bloodshed.

Both Russia and the west have exact same power to stop the war immediately. Russia has repeatedly made proposals to stop the war that the west rejected. The fact that you refuse to acknowledge this shows that you’re not arguing in good faith.

yogthos OP ,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

Obviously things you want to hear seem more convincing to you. There are however statements from Ukrainian negotiators where they confirm the change of direction in negotiations after western interventions. I’ve done enough looking things up for you here, but feel free to look them up on your own.

yogthos OP ,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

Completely ignoring how Donbas separated after the coup which is what the whole civil war was about for the past 8 years. 🤦

yogthos OP ,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

I’m not contradicting myself. The west can stop the war immediately, and Ukraine needs permission from the west to do so. This is a proxy war between NATO and Russia where NATO is using Ukraine to do the fighting.

yogthos OP ,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

How were they going to get a legitimate election after a coup overthrew the legitimate government genius?

and no free elections in Donbas

Last I checked it was Ukraine and not Donbas that cancelled elections, but do go on. Your fantasies are really interesting.

yogthos OP ,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

Here’s the chief of NATO openly admitting why the war started, but you keep on lying here if that makes you feel better.

The background was that President Putin declared in the autumn of 2021, and actually sent a draft treaty that they wanted NATO to sign, to promise no more NATO enlargement. That was what he sent us. And was a pre-condition for not invade Ukraine. Of course we didn’t sign that.

The opposite happened. He wanted us to sign that promise, never to enlarge NATO. He wanted us to remove our military infrastructure in all Allies that have joined NATO since 1997, meaning half of NATO, all the Central and Eastern Europe, we should remove NATO from that part of our Alliance, introducing some kind of B, or second class membership. We rejected that.

So he went to war to prevent NATO, more NATO, close to his borders. He has got the exact opposite.

yogthos OP ,

The proof is in the fact that the regime literally cancelled elections, banned opposition parties, and free media.

Are you suggesting that Ukraine can not ever hold free elections after a coup, but Donbas can while under armed invasion of a foreign country?

Donbas has had election long before it INVITED Russia to intervene on its behalf. The same way breakaway regions of Yugoslavia invited NATO to intervene.

yogthos OP ,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

You are claiming that the war is between Russia and Ukraine, while the reality, as Stoltenberg admits is that it’s a war between Russia and NATO. Ukraine is the party that needs permission from the west to stop the war.

Again, can Russia end the war immediately, ss you claimed, or do they need permission from the west, like you also claimed?

Can you explain to me why Russia would stop the war that Russia is currently winning?

yogthos OP ,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

A great way to say that you didn’t pay any attention to Donbas for the past decade.

I guess engaging with reality is difficult for people who’ve been huffing propaganda for the past two years. If you think Ukraine will get better terms going forward then you’re utterly delusional.

yogthos OP ,

You literally say “the strong can do whatever the fuck they want”, how is that not warmongering?

It’s absolutely hilarious that you’re claiming that this hasn’t been the norm already. The west has invaded Yugoslavia, Libya, Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan just to name a few countries in recent years. The only reason you’re upset now is that it’s not your side that’s doing it.

The people who are going to be the reason for the world to end are always the ones who want the wars to keep going. Especially wars where the outcome is obvious to anyone with a functioning brain.

yogthos OP ,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

So anyone who oppose you is a capitalist western dog is it?

I’m just pointing out the sheer bullshit your argument is premised on. The west has been going on a rampage across the globe since USSR fell, and now here you are doing hand wringing about might makes right when a non western country does what’s already been normalized claiming it would be the end of the world.

The norm: “Let’s kill each other”. Yeah, that looks like something normal. Totally.

That’s the world US created under its hegemony since USSR dissolved.

I just hope you live long enough to see the second Soviet dissolution. Maybe that day you’ll understand how bad warmongering is.

The only one doing warmongering here is you. I want the war to end. I love how you aren’t even trying to be coherent here.

Can you explain to us why he would do that given that Russia is winning decisively?

yogthos OP ,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

The actual losses for Russia amount to around 57k as a western source that shows its methodology reports. So, not sure where these millions are coming from en.zona.media/article/2022/05/20/casualties_eng

Meanwhile, nowhere did I say that Russia can’t stop the war. What I said is that it makes absolutely no sense for Russia to do that. The war started because of NATO expansion eastwards as Stoltenberg has openly admitted. If Russia stops the war, then NATO will just continue doing what it was doing previously in Ukraine. All the effort and all the lives lost will have been for nothing. Russia has to win this war decisively.

Also, you keep talking about Putin as if he runs the country in dictatorial fashion. That is a perspective divorced from reality. At this point vast majority of people in Russia support the war because they now understand that the west is their enemy. They saw western reaction towards Russians after the war started, and they can plainly see now that the west viscerally hates Russians. Putin is considered a moderate, and the main criticism of Putin in Russia today is that he’s being too cautious and not showing enough force.

What will happen in the end is that Russia will win and dictate terms, the only question is how many more people have to die before westerners accept that.

DPR and LPR have been autonomous since 2014, the heads of the republics made a formal request for assistance from Russia in February after Russia recognized their independence rt.com/…/550394-donbass-republics-military-help-p…

This was intentionally modelled on the precedent NATO set on Yugoslavia where NATO recognized the independence of the breakaway regions and then had them invite NATO for assistance. Russia is just following the legal precedent set by the rules based order we keep hearing about.

yogthos OP ,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

You answered yourself where the millions come from.

I didn’t, if you look at the link provided, Russian casualties have actually been going down. Apparently you don’t have a first clue regarding the subject you’re attempting to debate here. Let me explain a few basics to you. Most of the casualties in this war (around 80%) come from artillery fire, and Russia outguns Ukraine by a factor of around 10 to 1. Ukraine has at this point run through much of its professional army that was motivated and well trained, they’re now increasingly relying on conscripts with little training, and no motivation to fight. As the professional and motivated core of the army continues to shrink, an inflection point comes where the whole army starts to collapse. This is what happened to Germans at the end of WW2. This is what’s already starting to happen in Ukraine now. Armies don’t fight to the last man, once the collapse starts, it progresses very rapidly where the cohesion of the army falls apart.

Also, I notice you have problems with reading comprehension. Because I told you the opposite. Putin can’t in fact stop the war because that would be an incredibly unpopular move politically in Russia.

I’ve been explaining the same thing to you over and over in many different ways here. All you do is just keep regurgitating the same few points you’ve memorized. You’re not engaging in any actual discussion here, so I’m going to stop. Feel free to believe whatever you like, but I do hope that once the war ends you’ll do some self reflection and ask yourself what was achieved by prolonging the conflict.

yogthos OP ,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

Yes, Donbas has been autonomous and held elections since 2014. These elections have been held regularly. I’m not avoiding answering any of your questions here. You’re just doing trolling.

yogthos OP ,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

Are you asking about the dates regular elections that LPR and DPR have or?

yogthos OP ,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

Donbas has had election long before it INVITED Russia to intervene on its behalf.

Yes, I’m talking about general elections that Donbas holds here, not some specific election. The government is elected. The elected government that represents the people of Donbas invited Russia for assistance. What part of this are you struggling with specifically?

yogthos OP ,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

Of your entire understanding of the conflict is based on a single article then I see where you’re coming from.

yogthos OP ,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

Indeed

yogthos OP ,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

Seems like you’re struggling with a concept of how governments work. People elect leaders who make political decisions. Donbas has always had elections, and the elected government invited Russia for help. I hope that one day you’ll be able to grok this complex concept.
