One of my math profs at uni used to say that despair and confusion should be celebrated because they are the necessary preconditions to insight.

This is how it's done
Replying to @RiseOfAlberta
I'm in Alberta right now. I'm telling all non separatists that I'm glad they're still in Canada because all of us in Ontario and eastward need their hard earned money to keep up our spending. They get a bit mad but I remind them that they wanted this.

If things are left entirely to people like this, they'll get us to the point where there literally won't be cities like that

Russia seems to be taking these talks seriously. Whereas us Europeans are just whining on the sidelines how we are not involved and doing our utmost to try and derail the talks, once again
‼️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Russia is strengthening its delegation for negotiations with Ukraine—a move that may signal a readiness for more serious discussions on ending the war, reports Bloomberg. ▪️ For a meeting in the UAE on Tuesday, Moscow is dispatching two Deputy Foreign Ministers—Ryabkov and Galuzin—along with the head of military intelligence (GRU), Kostyukov, and a representative of the General Staff, Zhigarlovsky. The delegation will be led by Putin’s aide Medinsky, who also participated in negotiations with Kyiv back in 2022. ▪️ The presence in Abu Dhabi of high-ranking diplomats—those responsible for relations with the U.S. and the "Ukrainian portfolio"—alongside the leadership of military intelligence, suggests that both the political terms of an agreement and the military mechanisms for its implementation could be discussed simultaneously. ▪️ While this signals Moscow’s readiness for more substantive talks following months of stalemate, it does not necessarily prove that Putin is prepared to make concessions, Bloomberg notes.

In a single day, more men attempt to flee Ukraine than flee North Korea in an entire year.

No. It's the other way around. We want to destroy Russia, and we aren't even subtle about it
“Russia wants to destroy the West.” Matthew Syed of the Sunday Times warns we’re “tilting towards war” because of Russian hybrid warfare efforts in Europe. #Newsnight

They just can’t help placing their white supremacism in full display. Mongolia is a democratic country, by the way, which - unlike Poland - has never been ruled by tsars. No one is trying to capture the Constitutional Court over there.
Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski on Russia: Nothing will ever be the same as before the war. It is a civilizational problem, a problem with the country's political culture. There are these Mongol-Tsarist patterns, followed by Bolshevik ones. There were attempts at some kind of new beginning, but they failed.

“Russia must pay. Russia must face justice. Russia must stop rearming.” Russia: We don’t need to do a damn thing. Keep writing the wish list, Kaja.
Russia must pay for Ukraine's reconstruction and face war crimes justice instead of using peace to rearm, Kaja Kallas said. The EU foreign policy chief warned Brussels will reject any peace deal negotiated without European participation. kyivpost.com/post/89408

Yeah objective reality is that Russia's position on NATO's enlargement to its borders has been known since 2007. Kiev's goals of getting back to 1991 borders are childish, it will never happen

Rick exemplifies here perfectly why there is a war today in Ukraine, and why it cannot be stopped
So, let me flag a few things, traitor. 1. "European security architecture" is a phrase the Kremlin uses. We already have one: it's called NATO. 2. You conflate (as you always do) the victim of this war with the aggressor. The aggressor is Russia. 3. "Root causes" is Russian for "do it our way" and you know it. 4. Nothing a word about Russian withdrawal, the occupied territories, POWs or deported children. Weird. 5. Lavrov wrote this for you. 6. Fuck Putin, fuck Russia, and fuck you.

People, I need you to pay attention: this isn't just feel-good vibes. This is a tried-and-true method of making peace, the kind of peace that sticks: people-centered peacemaking. It flips the normal logic of war and peace on its head and centers ordinary people's survival.
FIRST LADY: Together, we can create something more enduring than a temporary ceasefire. Let us see Oleshky as a spark in a world of darkness, capable of illuminating the best in humanity. Together, we can build a powerful flame of peace, visible to the world. Ignite hope, foster cooperation, and brighten a path toward lasting peace.

Yeah, but you get to bomb Iraqi, Libyan, Afghanistan, Iranian, Syrian, Palestinian cities and then send your juniors to play hockey like civilized people
🇨🇦 Canada’s message to russia: You don’t get to bomb Ukrainian cities and then send your juniors to play hockey in Alberta like civilised people. No Russian or Belarusian teams at the World Juniors. Not under your flag. Not under any other. Period.
