Let's move the battlefield out of Ukraine and into Russia then.

But remember, it's the rest of the world that's warmongering! Also up is down!

Somehow I doubt that Russia will accept the outcome of the battlefield.

“Our future is being shaped by a struggle, a struggle between the global majority in favor of a fairer distribution of global benefits and civilized diversity and between the few who wield neocolonial methods of subjugation in order to maintain their domination which is slipping through their hands,” he said.

I mean, he's not factually wrong, just framing it in reverse. Russia is indeed trying to colonize Ukraine to maintain their dominion which is slipping through their hands. It's just not using neocolonial methods but good old armed conquest.

And the people in favor of a fairer distribution of global benefits aren't the people he's thinking of. I mean it's also clearly not the US, but "taking what Ukraine has and giving it to Russian Oligarchs" is also not a fairer distribution.

You know what they say about the right: every accusation is a confession.

They also seem to be having their faces eaten by leopards, for some reason.

If only political leader would still take their sword and fight each other on the battlefield instead of letting the armies fight for those old geezers.

Even back in those days, the leaders rarely put themselves in any danger

Alright Lavrov, grab a gun and get moving.

If any people deciding to go to wars had to really put their asses on the front lines the world would definitely be a peaceful place.

But as always, in both sides, only the poor working class is dying on the front line.

Those of all castes are fighting on the Ukrainian side.

a view taking hold among Ukraine’s allies that the war is likely to go on for years

That's been obvious since 2014, and since the full invasion of last year.

The battlefield isn't even being faught on the Ukrainian side using the most cutting edge of Western technology and you want to keep fighting? Holy shit.

I would love to see that guy getting drafted and thrown into the battlefield he's bragging about.

I'd like to see that old fascist fucker on the front lines, to join the conscripts he's sending to their deaths.

I fucking hate this guy's guts. I know that's why he's so good at his job, but I just… ugh. Whenever I see his stupid face, it's like I'm getting preliminarily angry.

I'm trying to remember what language it is, it might be German or Japanese, which has a word which translates "a face badly in need of a fist." That's this guy.

German, Backpfeifengesicht. I also like "Fresse wie'n Lexikon: Aufschlagen, zuschlagen, nachschlagen."
