See if I came from a country that was profiting from misery and devastation to Yemeni people, I would probably not take such a smug and tasteless attitude to the idea of peace…and yet…

all of these thoughts are expressed with more nuance and extrapolation in ShariVari's post. why can't we just leave it there, and save the chest-beating for our posts about Skinny Puppy?

The risk isn’t really a future land grab, imo, it’s that any settlement along those lines would necessarily require Russia to exercise a measure of control over all future Ukrainian governments, either through some kind of electoral mechanism similar to Lebanon or Bosnia where power will, constitutionally, always be split between factions (with Russia controlling one of the factions) or through an overt threat of war any time a Ukrainian government did anything considered to be against the spirit of the negotiated peace. Neither of those things would lead to any form of domestic stability.Zelenskiy needs a plausible peace he can sell domestically or Ukraine would have to move to something close to the Belarus model of no real democracy and enormous internal repression.― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Tuesday, March 8, 2022 10:30 AM (fifty-seven minutes ago) bookmarkflaglink

xp I thought this post contained all of the content of the various sarcastic "I'm sure Russia won't just invade us again!" posts and so much more. but gyac is correct that it's a theme throughout the thread.

ah thank you, I thought you meant a SV post about the azov batallion (a peril of this thread), but yeah gyac otm

Not an assumption I’d feel safe making given that a) I’ve read your politics threads and b) the sheer amount of horror over thermobaric bombs. Which are not new and iirc were sold by the US to the Saudis to Yemen. Yet the direction of the mouthiest contributors to that thread is that it’s all basically a Marvel film and why not get your zings in against people who are in horror, idk!

There are plenty of other things that thread could be better used for such as:
a) Posting Reddit meme-standard content about Ukrainians doing sassy acts of defiance that subsequently turn out to be from six years ago or depicting a known Nazi oh uh hold upb) posting threads from American Twitter users nobody has ever heard of dropping science about how Putin will have to imminently withdraw in the next week oh uh hold upc) wildly veering from b) to imminent nuclear annihilation doomposting oh uh hold upd) ShariVari posts - ok this one can stay

You see those posts because most people on the thread have no idea of commentary beyond speculation and yet still feel the need to keep on posting.

and taking the worst depiction of what's done and posing it as ridiculous is a good catalyst for rationalization. I definitely overreacted on partial information, and I'm sorry for doing so, but we shouldn't whitewash everything now with some Roman Roy clowning.
