No it isn't. They may think they have good reasons for not wanting peace talks (they don't), but definitely every big newspaper, almost all influential Western politicians and your average redditor were against peace talks this whole time. They relentlessly shouted down everyone who even tried to bring it up.

Of course the warmongers say they're for peace. Peace through superior firepower. Peace through victory. But that is disingenuous. That's called war.

And I'm no pacifist. I'm for having a war (a class war), but I'm not going around saying war is peace. That's fucked up.

You should check out the work being done by the anti capitalist Solidarity Collective.

If there is one thing that is clear, it's that the Ukraine war is a late stage capitalist war. Units are sponsored. Ukraine has not resorted to widespread nationalisations or labour conscription. Unlike the total war of the 20th century, Ukraine’s war effort heavily relies on market mechanisms and civilian donations.

Ukrainians are left in darkness and many without heating. Yet, shopping arcades are lit in garish lights, with lavish displays of luxury fashion brands.

And yet this has created an opportunity for grassroots movements like solidarity collectives who supply anarchists, human rights defenders, trade unionists, eco-anarchists, anarcho-feminists, punk-rockers, and political refugees from Belarus and russia as military units with everything they need laying the foundations and build the knowledge needed to topple the authoritarian ruling class, independent of the state.

These kinds of threads are full of armchair warmonger repeats "infinite arms and Ukrainian blood against the Russians", just repeating generic Russophobic rationalizations that justify infinite war. When the monstrosity of their views are pointed out, when they are reminded that Ukrainians are people and they want peace, out come the accusations and namecalling. Russian bot! Shill! Absurd and idiotic, but above all, playing with racism they can get away with, possibly liberals' favorite activity next to misogyny they can get away with and homophobia they can get away with. Like an image of Putin in drag or making our with Trump.

You can verify yourself that there are variations of some of these things in this very thread. It's just a game to these people, abstract rhetoric.

Oh no, the couch fucker does a harsh warning. Why should a free nation even respond kindly to a dictatorship?

Zelensky made the fatal mistake of trusting the United States Putins Invasion was wrong, but he could have played his cards a lot better. Also why the fuck did he allow his special forces to sabotage the economy of one of his biggest allies in Europe throwing them into political turmoil.

He should of done what Stalin did make a peace deal early and allow his allies to build up more productive forces and training more of his army, the west would of been able to mount a much convincing defence against Russia, instead this happened.

Betting on a stable United States in the trump era was an insane move, the fascists on all sides completely outplayed the liberals. If I saw this coming idk how a bunch of people who are much smarter than I am didn’t.

Fuck the United States and fuck Russia, fuck capitalism in general this economic system is a death cult.
