So there is now 6 sources saying Russia called for peace, Ukraine agreed, US/UK blocked them but libs still deny this and don't want to hear about it.

I wouldn't trust Gerhard Schröder on anything regarding Russia to be honest.

I wouldn’t trust Gerhard Schröder on anything ~~regarding Russia to be honest.~~

Sure, but what purpose he had in saying it, most likely he just blurted out what was already considered common knowledge by then, either not realising or not giving a shit it's going contrary to the official propaganda. Maybe getting a jab at the current govt or something.

For all his many, many faults, Gerhard Schröder isn't exactly a bumbling oaf. His purpose for saying it is his multi decade close relationship with Putin that has netted him a very comfortable life in Russia and he ain't about to throw that shit out, he'd always give you the line that paints Russia in a positive light. Doesn't really have bearing on whether it's true or not, he's just absolutely not a source to be trusted here

Corroborated by at least 3 other sources, or 5 according to the OP pic

[–] TheOtherwise@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is there a post containing all 6 sources anywhere?

Putin is now officially more moderate than Netanyahu.

[–] SadArtemis@lemmygrad.ml 26 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

He always was, tbh. He has his own serious (reactionary domestic policy) issues, but any idea that Putin belongs grouped amongst the likes of Netanyahu- or Biden, Obama, Bush, etc... is nonsense.

Putin is much like Nehru and Nasser.... Anti colonialist in 2023 that i would say. Neither Nehru or Nasser were pro communist .

The US and UK's governments are absolutely evil

[–] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Are they literally trying to claim that the peace negotiations were torpedoed...by Russia? The nation that started them? I want to say "even western libs aren't stupid enough to fall for this." but sadly they'll probably be ranting about Russia rejecting peace deals within the week.

[–] mughaloid@lemmygrad.ml 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, they are saying Russia started the peace negotiations

[–] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 1 year ago

It seems my reading comprehension is really bad before I have my coffee. Thanks!

[–] novibe@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

The article explicitly says the deal was torpedoed by the US/UK.

Which is hilarious… “Nooo you can’t end the war” “K now that the war is ongoing for the foreseeable future, we’re gonna stop helping you lol kthxbye”
