For the fifth time since 2008, Russia has proposed to negotiate with the U.S. over security arrangements, this time in proposals made by President Vladimir Putin on June 14, 2024. Four previous times, the U.S. rejected the offer of negotiations in favor of a neocon strategy to weaken or dismember Russia through war and covert operations. The U.S. neocon tactics have failed disastrously, devastating Ukraine in the process, and endangering the whole world. After all the warmongering, it’s time for Biden to open negotiations for peace with Russia.

    Sure, Russia can peacefully withdraw from all the Ukrainian territory they seized and respect the long-established border of Ukraine.

    Russia is the largest country by area in the world, with trillions of dollars of natural resources/rare-earth materials. It shares borders with China, the up-and-coming other world power, and borders the pacific ocean, allowing for trade routes to some of the wealthiest and most powerful countries in the world.

    But instead of harnessing those resources, shoring up power and influence with potential allies, they elected a pseudo-dictator douchebag, sat with their thumbs up their asses, and decided the best way to gain power and influence in the world was to bully smaller bordering nations and invade their territory with a pathetically weak and ill-equiped military.

    And then Putin and his muppets blame the US and NATO for “encroaching on them.” As if trying to take back a tiny sliver of former USSR territory will do anything to make their country powerful or wealthy.

        Nope, Russia could have been working on building up infrastructure and trade deals with China, India, and various middle eastern countries, all countries that aren’t beholden to the USA.

        Get mad and seethe, bro. 😆

    Putins “peace offers” have been to cede all the land Russia occupies in Ukraine plus some land they don’t even hold. They aren’t serious and Putin can go fuck himself.

        That’s a false dilemma. You can oppose all imperialism at the same time regardless of who is pursuing it. Justice and freedom isn’t a team sport. You don’t have to take the side of any major power.

      The US is the only obstacle to peace in this situation, the US is always the obstacle to peace around the world

        “The bigger kid is the only obstacle to peace on the playground. If the bigger kid would just let the bully get away with bullying the littler kids, then everything would be fine. The bigger kid is only helping the little kid stand up to the bully in order to hurt the bully.”

        Yeah, the US didn’t invade Ukraine. Russian presence and Russian attacks are the only obstacle to peace in this situation.

        Simp for imperialism somewhere else, tovarish.

        If someone attacks my friend, and I help them fight back, I’m the obstacle to peace in that situation. If I simply allow them to kill my friend, that’s the fastest path to peace but that doesn’t mean the outcome is desirable.

    Stop sending weapons to Ukraine and you will see how fast the peace comes, it’s easy, war it’s a very lucrative business.

    Wow, reading Sach’s Wikipedia page, this guy is a piece of work. Only 340 economists disagree with his stance on Ukraine! Talk about going against the flow. If one was to throw about terms like ‘tankie’, he would look like a great example.
