    Fears of peace talks

    What kind of bullshit Orwellian headline is this? Peace is GOOD, stopping the bloodshed is GOOD. We WANT less people to die.

      The only reason I opened the article, “whatchu mean fear of peace talks?!”

      Like I get it, Ukraine shouldn’t capitulate. But ending the bloodshed is a good thing, surely.

        The issue is that we’ve already tried the whole peace thing before. Remember the Budapest Memorandum? The Minsk Protocol & Minsk II? The Partition & Friendship Treaties?

        I feel like the heart of the issue is that Russia doesn’t want peace. If it did, we would not be here in the first place.

      The fear is that there is pressure for peace talk conditions to be less than fair to Ukraine, that this would be little more than appeasement of Russia, like what happened with Czechoslovakia in the 1930s

      The hill is a pretty conservative outlet but this is a disturbing headline for sure. The only way to end the war is with peace talks, there is no other option. The better Ukraine does on the ground the better they will do in the negotiations.

        Always pay attention to the commenter‘s instance. All three above are hexbear users, so expect a heavy pro russian stance.
