I completely disagree. Russia should receive nothing for what they have done.

Imagine this, Russia decides that Alaska is theirs even though it was sold to the U.S. in 1867. They invade and make it half way into the state. Should the U.S. have peace talks with Russia and say you can have half the state or keep fighting and push them completely out? I guessing most Americans would say F off Russia, get out of our country.

Russia leaving Ukraine is the only justifiable outcome from this invasion. If a child breaks his siblings toy maliciously, you don’t reward them for doing a bad thing. You punish that child for their actions. Putin is nothing more than a spoiled child, you shouldn’t reward him for his bad behavior.

Just curious, what do you think should be on the table at the peace talks?

For me, it should be the following:

Russia leaves Ukraine including Crimea and vows to never invade again. I know it didn’t work when Ukraine gave up their nukes for the same vow but one can hope.

Russia pays Ukraine back for all the damage it has done. They were the aggressors, they need to pay up.

All prisoners who were taken to Russia, including children, are to be returned.

No interference if Ukraine wants to join NATO and the EU.

I’m not an expert in peace talks, but I feel the above is fair.

No, it’s not. Calling out what someone is does not meet the definition. Additionally, you said I did three things in my comment, most of which were false.

Yeah, no. Your interpretation is incorrect in my opinion.

Yes, it was a baby account. Only 6 hours old. The icon next to their name is a baby. How can you punish me for something the site does as well?

Also, the English the person used did not sound like it was English as a first language.

Lastly, let’s take a look at your verbiage.

Perjorative: expressing contempt or disapproval

Calling a person a paid Russian sympathizer does not meet this definition. He was acting as if Russia is the victim in this story. I was saying what he was.

I would appreciate if when reports are made, they are actually looked at and not blindly removed.

Fine, I accept that, but what exactly did I say that caused the post to be removed? All I said was he was probably a paid posted. How is that not being civil?

Why did you remove my comment and not the one where the poster called me insane?

1. Never called you a bot.

2. You have no link to a source in the thread I was replying to.

3. Anyone who looks at the things Putin has done in the last two years and thinks that NATO is worse is the one who is insane.

Send people to all corners of the Internet to sow your pro-Russian stance. And if not paid, I would say a Putin fan, someone being threatened by the Russian government, or just a troll. Take your pick. All are possible.

Used to browse Reddit daily. Once Reddit is Fun closed, I only go on to search for an answer.

Now it is Lemmy daily.

I have a cab company in my city (near Chicago) that you can order it online or in the app for now or in the future and it is cheaper than Lyft/Uber. No hailing a cab like back in the old days.

And video games.
