Summary
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke by phone for the first time since December 2022, with Scholz condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and its use of North Korean troops as a “grave escalation.”
Scholz urged Putin to withdraw troops and negotiate a “fair and lasting peace,” emphasizing Germany’s continued support for Ukraine.
Putin blamed NATO’s “aggressive policy” and insisted peace must reflect “new territorial realities” of occupied Ukrainian land.
Amid growing political and economic pressures, Scholz faces criticism over his handling of the war and upcoming elections.
Grave escalation of non-Ukrainian corpses on the front line?
If Putin is pulling in foreign troops to fight his war then ukraines allies should start shipping troops over.
War
*3 Day Special Military Operation
Only if you’re first in line
You do know that a lot of people already sign up for that, right?
Do you think that citizens of a nation can’t make any calls on how their professional soldiers are deployed unless they are soldier themselves? What fucking cognitive dissonance is this?
You are accusing the other guy of cognitive dissonance? Interesting. Anybody who is calling for others to go to war somewhere should be answered with laughter or that statement. And by the way, citizens of a nation don’t decide much about war and peace.
What a great idea, im shocked no one thought of it sooner, surely it wont create any more escalations
So Putin is allowed to escalate but no one else is?
Yes, because Putin has nukes!
/s
If we’re trying to avoid WWIII, yes. It sucks and is unfair, but the responsible choice isn’t always the fair choice.
The responsible choice is to not appease. Putin can decide if he wants to escalate against Germany and NATO.
Ye, we should keep appeasing Putin to avoid further escalations. Cause that worked the last time
In fact, the “Ukraine war” title doesn’t really do it justice then does it.
Maybe they should rebrand it, call it a different War, maybe something that reflects the whole World that gets involved. If there’s been a couple before, just stick a number 3 on the end. Sorted.
Can it not end in explosions far bigger than the two explosions that ended the one with the number two please?
Yeah fingers crossed. I’m rather hopeful it won’t. That would really suck.
For all my sarcasm around what the war will be referred to in the history books, I’m hoping it will be a footnote in history and not one of the future’s biggest Wikipedia pages like the last one was.
