Is it bad takes, controversial posts, or something else?

    Come back after the war is over so you can pretend you were against the entire war the whole time

      I was against the war when it started I’m against the war now obviously. I will be against the war when it’s over. So I’m not really sure what you’re insinuating. Also I’m always against countries invading other countries on flimsy justification. Whether it’s the US and Iraq or Russia and Ukraine or Israel and palestine.

          I support the invading army to stop invading and go home. Keep their own soldiers alive as well, to go home and be with their families.

            And the Russians support Ukraine accept that the territory no longer belongs to them, and demilitarize so the millions of Ukrainians who’ve fled can come home and rebuild.

            That’s not supporting peace, “I want the other side to just give up” is not materially different than the most bloodthirsty warhawk’s position.

              Then what would you advocate in Gaza? I think Israel should absolutely just cease hostilities immediately and walk away from the conflict. Does that make me the most bloodthirsty warhawk? Such weird logic.

                Israel should be dissolved give full, democratic rights to Palestinians, including the ones they’ve kicked out, and return their homes. A two-state solution simply leaves Palestine as a rump-state controlled by Israel, as the PA has been. Apartheid in South Africa didn’t end with the colonizers taking all the best land, encircling the natives, and then giving them a state that is dependent on the white state.

                    A 1-state solution in Ukraine would leave the Ukrainians a minority within an oppressive regime, you’d have an insurgency forever, even if the US stopped sending weapons.

                    The only solution that is feasible at this time is for the Russian speaking parts of Ukraine to split off, the Ukrainian parts to remain, the fascists purged, and Russia to pay for rebuilding/reeducating Ukraine. Do I think Russia will do the last two? Probably not.
