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.
