        Are you serious? The only people who have threatened the use of nuclear weapons are Putin, his ministers, and Trump. What does Biden have to do with this?

          Biden has been a defender of the US first strike nuclear policy for his entire career. You can literally go watch a funny clip from an old debate where Senator Gravel (RIP) tears into Biden, Obama, and Hillary on the topic all at once. There’s also a good one where they get shit on for the Iraq occupation (still ongoing btw).

      Ironically, Russia’s no-first-use nuclear policy was revoked by Yeltsin, who was a US tool.

    Well how about this tankies:

    Putin can have a peace deal when his army packs up and returns to ruZZia and lets the adults in Switzerland decide what peace is gonna be without including one of the belligerents in the conflict they’re resolving.

    Terms seem rather agreeable and a far sight better than any peace deal that would be signed today.

    Why the fuck did they not sign this? It properly codifies security guarantees from the UNSC, only properly relinquishes Crimea, leaves the LNR/DNR up to diplomacy, and makes Russian an official language along with Ukraine (which captures the fact that some 34% of Ukrainians speak Russian).

    Hundreds of thousands dead and wounded, millions fled from the country, Crimea still lost, Bakhmut lost, Avdiivka lost, and for what? To “prevent another war” despite more comprehensive security guarantees from the UNSC? To “bleed the Russians dry” despite being outproduced by the sheer industrial output of Soviet-era machinery in Russia? To “stand up for sovereignty” despite clearer and clearer signs of covert US intervention during and following Euromaidan?

    What a fucking mess.

      The terms seem agreeable?

      The terms that restrict the size of the Ukrainian military, bar Ukraine from receiving foreign assistance to rebuild its military, forbid it from seeking security guarantees from any country or bloc, … The terms that would have made it trivial for Russia to further invade at any point in the future?

      Those terms seem agreeable?
