What of the people who lived in Crimea prior to 2014? No peace for them? I thought these were supposed to be Ukrainians living under occupation, why is their own country threatening them?

I thought Crimes was supposed to be Ukrainian. Why is Ukraine using cluster munitions on their own civilians???

Correct, Ukraine has failed to make significant gains in the past months.

Supplied arms to support genocide in Indonesia, among other crimes. Him building homes now is just some light penance before he's shipped off to hell. https://fair.org/media-beat-column/jimmy-carter-and-human-rights-behind-the-media-myth/

Do you think it is realistic that Russia will unilaterally pull out? The war will end when Russia leaves, but Russia isn't going to leave until they are pushed out, negotiations are had, or Ukraine is destroyed. The first possibility is becoming increasingly more unlikely, and the last is something that nobody should want

That leaves negotiations. I think Ukraine should come to the table while they still have some leverage, which is decreasing every week that they throw their men into the meat grinder without meaningful gains.

Zs aren't an old Nazi symbol. The balkenkreuz is.

It's not just iron crosses, he's thinking of the balkenkreuzes that are being painted on tanks. The symbol Germany stopped using after WWII.

He set up Popular Revolutionary Tribunals to prosecute public officials charged with political crimes[12] and corruption, considering such elements of the state counter-revolutionaries.[15] This led to criticism by Amnesty International for human rights violations, including extrajudicial executions and arbitrary detentions of political opponents.[16]

idk sounds pretty authoritarian to me.
