I’m a bully for how someone I don’t know treated someone else I don’t know, because he happens to be the head of state of the country I live in?

You, as in the country.

I am not a country. Nor are countries sentient beings with intentions; they are abstract entities. “We” didn’t bully anyone — one or two specific people did.

Yes. Democracy means we are culpable for what our leaders do.

That is a very expansive understanding of democracy that would, for example, imply that indiscriminately targeting civilians in a war is justifiable.

No, it doesn't.

> Must we endlessly fund a war that is in stalemate and will continue to savagely end the lives of military and civilian alike? Otherwise, we are a bully?

Ukraine has lost massive amounts of lives, territory, and foreign funding under his leadership; Zelensky effectively has zero negotiating power.

Where are the voices that simply want the war to end so people stop dying? It’s easy to say bully this and ally that from the comfort of your office while hundreds of thousands of people die in a strip of land most “supporters” couldn’t point out on a map. At this point there’s a collective ego tied to the outcome more than there is any care for the actual people involved.

Some things are worth fighting for you quisling.

As long as someone else does the fighting, right? Last I checked, the majority of Ukrainians themselves want a quick end to the war.

I want a million dollars. Very much!

That doesn't mean I'll accept your proposal to rob a bank.

What a dogshit poll. There were three options given:

1. Ukraine should continue fighting until it wins the war.

2. Ukraine should seek to negotiate an ending to the war as soon as possible.

3. Don't know/Refused.

"Ukraine should surrender unconditionally" and "Ukraine should negotiate permanent security guarantees" and "Ukraine should fight its way into a better negotiating position" are all in the same bucket. This is maliciously bad poll design.

And they way they are trying to bully Ukraine into a minerals agreement and rebuilding agreement to strip Ukraine of everything it has. Trump doesn't care about peace, he wants to make money

If the war ends, that is peace. Do you believe Ukraine will be better off financially by continuing the war, even if it is on America’s credit card? They will not flourish in the present state, however noble they believe the effort is. War is not fair.

Zelensky is an adult, a leader of a country, who has many lives in his hands. He is not a baby that needs to be coddled.

As opposed to Trump, who is an adult, a leader of a country, who has many lives in his hands, and behaves like a baby that needs to be coddled.
