    Yes, but they kind of support giving Putin everything he wants and are willing to push Ukraine under the bus to aphese Putin. Sounds like they are pretty close to Putin.

      Bullshit. They want Putin to piss off out of Ukraine. According to Die Linke, peace can only be reached when every last russian soldier retreats and the occupied territories are returned to Ukraine. Also, they want further and stricter sanctions against Putin, his puppets and the russian military industrial complex.

      Doesn’t sounds like they are close to Putin or want to give him anything.

        this only means they’re delusional.

        “when we stop to support the Ukraine with weapons, we’re sure nothing bad will happen and Putin will leave voluntarily if we just nicely ask him to”

        seriously, how disconnected from reality can one be?

          That is an argument to be made. But it’s far away fromnthe party being friendly towards Putin’s Russia.

          Also, it’s not voluntarily. The Party wants to further the sanctions against Putin, his puppets and the russian military industrial complex and also want to put more international pressure on Russia.

          Again, we can debate how effective those measures would be, and given the recent news about how the sanctions against russia are circumvented I’d be unsure and personally I am supportive of arms deliveries for Ukraine, but accusations of being Putin’s friends are just false. If you want to see Putin’s puppets in the german parliament, look at AfD and BSW. You will see the differences, I think.

            that might be, but it doesn’t matter for me. AfD and BSW want to stop weapon deliveries just like Die Linke.

            AfD and BSW are Putins friends and what they demand leads to Putin getting (parts of) Ukraine. Die Linke isn’t Putins friend and what they demand leads to Putin getting (parts of) Ukraine. in the end it’s the same

              No, that’s wrong. Die Linked demands the full retreat of Russia, international security guarantees and full ukrainian sovereignty.

                Die Linke can demand from Putin whatever the hell they want. without weapons Ukraine is doomed and there’s no reason for Putin to listen to their demands and to think he’ll listen is, like I said, delusional (that’s my whole point).

                also, Putins promises and guarantees (which he won’t make) mean nothing. what’s stopping him from attacking again after rebuilding his army?

                  But Die Linke doesn’t (only) demands from Putin but wants to bring international pressure and international security guarantees.

                  Again, I agree that Ukraine also needs weapons, but that’s not the point I’m arguing. I argue that saying “Die Linke is friendly towards Russia” is a false statement and that their points are not misrepresented.

                    okay yeah, I agree with you on that. my point is that Die Linke is delusional in thinking Putin won’t win if Ukraine can’t defend itself

        I think what Putin wants more than anything is for countries to stop arms deliveries to Ukraine. And what I see is that the Linke want that too.

        So, they are aligned at this.

          You just can keep construction your BS, that doesn’t change that Die Linked opposes Putin and other autocrats. I see no point in furthering this discussion since I don’t like running headfirst into brick walls. Bye.

            The real reason is you can’t argue what im saying.

            Look, I don’t think the Linke is actually on Putins side. I’m saying they are stupid and doing Putin a favour even if they don’t want to. It’s the same with the Left in my country.

            Also: tankies exist. And often they will exist in the most left party. So it’s not completely out there to expect there might be some genuine affection for Putin there. There is in my country.

              But the tankies just left and created their own party, the BSW.

              Also I find it stupid to compare two parries from different countries to say they’re the same because they lean in the same general direction.

                I’m not saying they are the same, but they are both strongly on the left, I checked and they have the same policies, very sensible policies in my opinion. And they both oppose weapon support for Ukraine.

                I did a google search and without any problem found groups associating with Die Linke that are tankies. Marx21, Kommunistische platform.

                So yeah pretty similar. Both very problematic in the sense of their connection to Russia and Putin.

                  Dude, let’s just end it here. I have no idea where you’re from and what party from.your country you’re talking about. Neither of us has enough knowledge about each other’s party to really talk this out, especially not about the actual processes inside the parties. A quick google search will not give sufficient insights and you refuse to acknowledge viewpoints and insists that do not conform to your superficial judgment, which is really pissing me off. Bye.

          They want to stop arms delivering in itself. But if that means Ukraine will fall they won’t stop it now.

            They won’t stop it? What does that mean? Would they increase it if USA stops for instance?

              Are you asking me what “not stopping” means?

              I don’t know about an increase.

                I’m asking are they on board with supplying weapons. Do they understand that there is no other way. Or are they so reluctant that they will change their mind when an opportunity for that occurs?
