Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Ukraine is committed to peace but not at the expense of giving up its territory, President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a sit down with representatives of the Indian media that was published on Aug. 25.

Zelensky spoke with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi of the need for Russia's war to end during the latter's historic visit to Kyiv on Aug. 23.

"When you say 'diplomacy', I'm all for it, but I'd like to see concrete steps that are not at the expense of 30% of our state and not at the expense of our population. If there is such a plan, we're all for it," Zelensky said.

Robber beats you up, knocks you down, and takes your wallet.

"Hey, that's my money?"

"Tell you what, I'll just take 30% and call it peace."

"Okay...just don't do it again, right?"

Robber runs away laughing.

But he says he won't do it again.

or a more direct analogy, appeasing the nazis and fascists before WWII.

I mean... they took Krym, West did nothing. So clearly they tried again on a grander scale.

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

More like you have a house and family and one day your neighbour, who has occupied the balcony for the last few years, breaks into your house and occupies some rooms, takes one of your children and makes you remove all doors and locks so he can come and go as he pleases into your remaining rooms.
