Of course russia wants peace... so they can take a break and rebuild an army after being decimated by ukraine.
a piece of this, and a piece of that, and a piece of every corner of Europe.
"We've got them right where we want them!" has been the NATO line since the war started.
Meanwhile, Europe's hemorrhaging it's domestic economy to keep feeding the front lines, while the rot of fascism extends into Germany, France, and the UK entirely unchecked.
We're looking at an entirely continent of White Nationalist governments inside the next three years with the rate at which "liberal" governments are shedding internal support.
...which is why we have to defeat the nationalists and fascists at home as hard and fast as possible.
Too many contradictory statements on Russia. One minute we're hearing that they want peace because they're being battered in Ukraine, and the next we're hearing that Putin has no interest in peace.
I also don't see how Russia is simultaneously collapsing domestically under the strain of war but also a major invasion threat to all of Europe.
We seem to flip between mocking them and fearing them.
