People die even without wars, and even more massively. The 3rd Assault Brigade was formerly the Azov Regiment and has increased tenfold in size. Responsibility for the war lies with the leadership of countries, not their inhabitants, whether they are right-wing or left-wing. The President of Ukraine is Zelenskyy; his ethnicity has repeatedly been used to justify claims about Nazis in the ranks of both the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the country's political system. This is not about conspiracy theories but about proof by contradiction (halal, without GPT), and nothing can be done about it.

I hope it goes without saying that the process of migration does not stop for a minute, while the reactionary local population is being "channeled" during a war, and a foreign one at that, against the same white Europeans, transformed by the propaganda of Pilsudski's era into Ugro-Finns (as if Finns and Hungarians are something bad) and Tatars, who are fewer in number than Belarusians, all while calling Putin a Hitler and in the process somehow making him unattractive to the Nazis because of it. Kekw xD

Any update here? All the NAFO clowns lost interest, while the carnage continues.

Diplomacy exists more now then in the last two years. Russia and Ukraine are meeting to talk next week with the US having a stated goal of ending the war this summer. The EU is still dizzy over the US claims to annex Greenland. Meanwhile Russia is grinding way in Ukraine.

You can rest assured that Russia is simply playing for time, preparing for a future war with NATO. Any rhetoric about negotiations and conditions for resolving the conflict is just a delay. Back in 2022, it was clear to me that war with Europe could not be avoided, but it was strange that everything was taking so long. 4 years have passed - World War II is already over

Then Russia has two options left: either secure the support of China, or both the US and China. It will be difficult to counter a united Europe when your population is four times smaller. Otherwise, aggression will eventually come from Europe, which will sooner or later drag Russia into a war by accusing it of provocation, completely repeating the scenario of the alleged invasion of Poland into Germany.

Thus, victim socialism has supplanted national socialism.

Can someone explain to me what is likely

what does a resolution look like? And what is Russia's next operations?

The War has been going on for 4 years now (Feb 24th 2022). The war is in Ukraine (Russia is the aggressor, and while Ukraine has bombed Moscow the majority of the conflict is in Ukraine). Ukraine has a population of 35~44Million and Russia has a population of about 140~146million. Neither side is forthcoming on the number of dead. The US is currently signalling its intent for a diplomatic solution in 2026. It is difficult to determine how genuine this is noting the US in 2025 proved to be a bad actor - Allowing Israel to bomb an ally (Qatar) during a negotiation window, bombing Iran unprovoked (after reneging on the Nuclear deal), threatening a military alliance (NATO) ally (Denmark and Greenland), bombing Venezuela unprovoked (the list goes on and on). The US signal re: Diplomacy with Russia is simply not credible when compounded with the knowledge that they OK'd an assassination attempt on Putin in Dec 2025 (which, thankfully, failed. I say thankfully as if they had succeeded we could have seen nukes flying and everyone on the planet dead).

Anyway, multiple european countries, and the west overall, have reopened talks with Russia, in part because the US has suggested a peace deal and in part because Europe no longer trusts the US (no one trusts the US now except maybe Ukraine for some wacky reason). Ukraine wants security guarantees (dont invade us again) while Russia wants security guarantees (dont put Nato in Ukraine). Fundamentally those two demands simply do not mesh. Therefore we are unlikely to see a peace deal in 2026 and the war will go on. By my understanding Russia has anything up to 1 million men in Ukraine, and Ukraine has less men say ~ 600,000. if Ukraine loses, Russia would probably take everything east of the Dniepo river, as Putin himself indicated in his interview with Tucker Carlson. It is not credible that Russia will take ALL of Ukraine, noting 1 million men is not enough to safely hold a hostile country of 35~44 million. The notion that Russia will then invade Poland, and Germany, is simply not credible. Russia would have to conscript 5million active men, and there has been no hint or suggestion of this.

Behind all this, europe is rearming and are on record as saying this rearming will take another 4 years. Germany wants to have the largest army in europe, this is a massive change in policy for them. With this backdrop, there is little credible evidence to support the notion that there will be a peace deal in 2026. I am not saying this is definite. I would say: if there IS a peace deal in 2026, it will be very fragile and likely to be broken within the span of 5 years. Ultimately the western backed coup in 2014 and the weapons buildup in the years prior to Russia's invasion as well as everything that has happened (Nord Stream etc etc) suggests there will be no long term solution any time soon.

I agree on many points of this post, but still disagree with the central premise, namely that the root cause of this conflict is a lack of diplomatic effort and belligerent arms-build by the West. The alternative perspective, which imho is a lot closer to the truth, is that Putin's Russia is simply an imperialist country which reacts to strength and pressure, rather than diplomatic language and appeasement. See the bolded parts: we both agree that the diplomatic efforts by the US administration have failed to provide a breakthrough in the peace negotiations because they lack credibility - but you seem to think this lack of credibility comes from the US not apologizing and appeasing Russia hard enough, whereas I believe the crux is the lack of a credible threat of military action by NATO countries which would materially change Russia's war calculus.

Granted, I don't think it's easy or trivial to create such a credible threat, so I can't offer a clear solution on how to end this conflict either. But disarming even more and becoming even more yielding is definitely not what will cause Russia to stop its war efforts. On the contrary: our weakness has, so far, only emboldened Putin.


Regarding Germany: it seems natural and rational to me that the European country with by far the largest population and economy should also strive to have the largest and strongest military.

Please don’t speculate about what I “seem to think.” Address what I actually wrote. The below is an example of me responding to your post.
