”Our proposal is not to freeze the conflict, like how the west wants it, but to end it. I repeat, this is not to freeze the conflict, but for its final completion.”

You uh
You wanna expand on that or are you going to pretend you got an epic mic drop own
Because I have no fucking clue what you’re trying to say
No mic drop intended, just replying fast to a few people.
I guess before I figure out which way to expand on it I need a baseline, do you believe history will look fondly on Putin?
No, I don’t. He represents the worst of the collapse of the Soviet Union. He runs a staunchly conservative, queerphobic nation that’s put a number of my friends in real material danger simply for existing, and they can scarcely tell me about it because of how tightly the state cracks down on that
How history will view him depends on how the war shakes out and who you’re asking and why. He’s been a leader - or around the reins of power - for a very long time, and I don’t see him as innocent or blameless in the events that bring us to the invasion. This was a collision thirty odd years in the making, and Great Man Theory fucking sucks as an analysis of history
