Where are the leftists that stop their own governments from sending military aid to Ukraine? None.

This has happened in Greece, I think?

despite various pleads from Moscow, both before and after the war started, for diplomatic resolution of the situation. All had been ignored.

do you not see any problem in framing this in such a way that the aggressing force in the conflict is making the pleas for a diplomatic solution after the invasion? is demanding 'de-nazification' and de-militarization a plea or a set of war aims? and I'm putting 'de-nazification' in quotes because, frankly, if you believe this talking point from the russian side has any substance, I really do think you're buying their propaganda the same way libs buy the nato line. it's pretty much bullshit. ultra-nationalists are a dime a dozen throughout europe, and that includes russia. ultra-nationalists are the base of the current russian government ffs.

whether you like it or not, the world is different as a result of this war. Nato has become more powerful as a result of it. buying into the russian state's talking points doesn't help any more than buying into the other side. matter of fact, it makes you look like a fool to the average person.
