fucking reuters at it again with the "Aren't russians the REAL victims in all this? 😢" shit.
If Moscow is muted on NYE, it's because they're pouring all their resources into killing Ukrainians. If Kyiv is muted, it's because there's fucking missiles being shot at them.
If Russia leaves, peace ensues, it’s not that hard of a concept. >

The only thing standing in the way of an armistice/Russia gtfo Ukraine is Putin’s pride. >

and Putin’s life >

I remember this BBC documentary series about WWI, and one of the episodes was called "For Such a Stupid Reason, Too." De-nazification? OK >

WW1 was the ultimate stupid reason for war. Then again, the old have never needed a good reason to send the young off to die in their wars. >


WW1 was the ultimate stupid reason for war

Not really, many MANY wars have been fought for stupider reasons, I'd say the assassination of the heir is a pretty decent reason as war justifications go. >

"Justification" is a bit much though, WWI was a war in search of an inciting incident. Europe at the start of the 20th Century was a tinderbox desperate to go off, if it hadn't been the Archduke it would have just been something else. >

At the end of the day it still was the Archduke, you can hypothesise about alternate incidents, but regardless the incident that kicked off WW1 was fairly justifiable was wars go. >

Bullshit. I'm lying in my bed in Moscow unable to sleep due to the enormous volume of fireworks. >

But are you SURE they are fireworks……..? >

Peace starts when the borders are back to 1991 lines. >

Happy conscription day eve!
