  • The problem is going to be deciding what the peace looks like.

    Russia is asking for more land than it controls and doesn’t provide security guarantees to Ukraine, opening Ukraine up to a possible third invasion in the near future.

    Ukraine seems open to accepting its current losses, but likely needs security guarantee by some entity powerful enough to deter a third invasion. You also have NATO/EU nations being unwilling to withdraw troops from nations bordering Russia because this is the second time Russia has invaded a neighboring country in 11 years and these nations aren’t belligerents yet.






  • I’m going to take a different tack on this than other responses: evil is winning because good is dumb.

    A lot of progressive groups within the past few decades, whether it be Occupy, Black Lives Matter, or others, can’t seem to actually get their policies enacted on a mass scale. In cases where politicians actually go through with their policies, those progressive groups won’t support those politicians from getting voted out and having the reforms reversed.

    Trump got elected, in part, because progressives didn’t want to vote for Genocide Joe and Copmala. Yet, you don’t see progressives building the kinds of political groups needed to wil elections like the right has.
