There is simply no rationale for all media outlets, when attending a press conference, held by Russia, about NS2, that they do not ask a single question, about NS2.
There is simply no rationale as to why in western society, no one is allowed to mention peace.
That is not journalism, its something else. If privately the journalists know the truth, then it should be their job to report the truth, instead of fabricating a lie.
"nO oNe iS aLLoWeD tO mEnTiOn pEaCe!!1!" - another one of those baseless propaganda talking points. a shameful and transparent lie. meanwhile in reality, literally every western leader has been urging russia to end this war for over a year now. the collective west (except some war profiteers) wants nothing more than peace. if pootin ordered his men back from ukrainian territory and offered peace, this whole war could end tomorrow.
what YOU probably mean, but have to misrepresent in order to support your previous lie, is that "
advocating for a peace on russia's terms will earn you some backlash" - which is an entirely different thing of course.
understandably, there is not a great desire (not in the west, and also not in ukraine - who, let's remember, could just say "fuck it, we're tired of fighting, let's just give the russians what they want" - and there is nothing "the west" could do to force them to continue to fight for their freedom) for the kind of temporary "peace" that pootin desires. basically a ceasefire which allows him to consolidate and regroup, to reward his military aggression with the regions he desired, only to come back for more a few years down the road, after having murdering tens- if not hundreds of thousands of innocent people. not a single person who knows about russia's recent history would be fooled by that. but of course our resident kremlin bots have to pretend like it doesn't exist, lol... what a shocker that supporting such an approach will net you some criticism... and i guess that means you're simply "nOt aLLoWeD tO mEnTiOn pEaCe!!1!" - at least in the mind of a kremlin shill...
