The links does not work, but was it really based on that interview?
I think his take on the topic was reasonable - it’s allowed to just not want any more death or suffering on either side - but not realistic.
It was also one sided - you really can’t focus on what Ukraine can do without also saying who started it all and caused the war in the first place. He never mentioned that Russia started it and how easy it is for Russia to stop all suffering and achieve peace. At best you can say he’s given up on Russia, don’t think they’ll change, and try to get Ukraine to stop more suffering. But is that really realistic - did Russia stop after Donetsk in 2014? It’s not reasonable to think it will be different this time. Give Russia peace for 5 years and let them rebuild their strength? They’ll just start again and set target for Kiev.
Link still works for me. I was curious wether he really said that thing about youth being the flower, so I looked it up. And he really did. The other things mentioned in the article were there, too, albeit in a more coherent fashion. It‘s true he doesn‘t demand that Russia should stop. They should, but they won‘t. And realistically this war will go on in the trenches with the youth of both sides dying.
Yeah I need to figure why I can’t follow the cross post here on Lemmy so i can get to the article.
I’ve watched the complete interview with Lex, so if this content is based on that, then title on this post here on Lemmy is junk, so if that’s the title used on the article I won’t have high hopes for that either.
I just despise clickbaited titles with statements that are twisted into someone elses opinion on the meaning behind what was said. I see it so often. I have no better solution currently than finding the actual source and make my own opinion, but it’s tiring. I do believe that “journalism” like this makes the world is worse place to live.
Well said. That‘s exactly why I posted the original. I guess nobody even read the article of the original post, because it was so incoherent and really just existed to frame his thoughts as pro russian propaganda. And yeah, in the end it wasn‘t and I could feel his strong sentiment against war.
Yeah, well. I miss Lemmy from July I guess. Now, on any contended topic, I feel it’s no better than Reddit (except for the whole overlords censoring thingy). Have a look at Tildes for a little less stupid news reporting and articles.
