    Interesting to see western outlets change their narratives this quick.

    Well anyway, hope this actually happens and an end to this war is finally negotiated.

      There's an easy way to end this war: either kill Putin or have Putin resign.

        Great man theory and its consequences

            Literally not a fallacy, your reasoning hinges on Great Man Theory. The two most popular parties (the second being the communist party) both mainly support the war and the assassination of a sitting President would not, in fact, make the country more dove-ish. It's a cartoon view of the conflict that the war spawned from Putin's brain and is his personal pet project that he is subjecting the rest of Russia to.

            Bot.

            Not literally but if somebody programmed the Lib-O-Matic 3000 it would be indistinguishable.

          Because it takes away the puppet Russia has been building and nurturing this whole time.

              He's scared to say the NAFO-fied spelling of Putin, knowing the wrath of the incoming maelstrom of pigpoopballs

        This is magical thinking. "If the enemy were to simply disappear, everything would be fixed."

        You have to engage with the reality of the situation.

        Holy shit I literally just made a comment saying maybe libs would move on from this branded catchphrase and then I scroll down one co.ment and here you are.

        Serves me right for thinking libs would ever learn to interact with reality.

        He's incredibly popular, along with the war. If he goes, someone else takes his place.

    What a novel idea, actually inviting the other side of the war you're fighting to the peace talks instead of having peace talks with ukraine, the American secretary of defense, and half a dozen venture capitalists to decide what ukraine is and isn't allowed to concede.

    Maybe they'll actually come up with sonething better than libs favorite line "Here's our peace proposal, Russia packs up and abandons a two year long military operation in which they're accomplishing everyrhing they said they set iut to do and they go back to Russia for no reason other than I've been whining about it on reddit forever."
