In a joint statement following talks, Xi Jinping and Putin stated that the war in Ukraine could only be resolved by removing its “root causes”.
Such formulation clearly echoes key Russian propaganda messages used by the Kremlin to justify the launch of the full-scale war, including the threat of NATO expansion, discrimination against Russian-speaking people and the suppression of the Russian language, culture and media in Ukraine.
I agree. The war in Ukraine can only truly be resolved by removing it’s root causes. Remove Putin, and the war ends.
I would go one step further and remove all of the imperialist thinking in Russia, just to be on the safe side.
Why don’t we split that shit up? Russia is so large and has so few people in comparison they might as well be a bunch of smaller states who can’t threaten their neighbors like that.
Ah yes partitioning by foreign powers has always gone so well in the past! Why don’t we try that again? I mean just look at Israel/Palestine and India/Pakistan! What great success stories 🥲
Why don’t we let them split them selves? They already did it once before
Denuclearise them too, but to assure them stability, promise to protect them.
Give Ukraine their nuclear arsenal back for breach of contract.
Russia is essentially a small state with a couple of centuries of imperialist thinking.
I want to note that the war has broad support among the Russian public, so while it might not be Ukraine they’ll attack another one of their neighbors if only Putin is removed. See: Georgia, Chechnya.
Worth noting that it is illegal in Russia to criticize the war, so saying you don’t support it is probably a good way to get yourself sent to the front lines in an infantry uniform. So, it’s difficult to gauge how many people actually genuinely support it or not.
