    Yes, a peace agenda.

    Edit to add: Sachs probably knows more about Russia and Ukraine than every Lemmy user put together. He could give Biden’s own cabinet a run for their money. He was a major figure in the US neoliberal shock therapy of the post-Soviet states, as evidenced by his numerous mentions in the Wikipedia article.

    But I digress: this post was about COVID-19.

      Bet if I suggested the Palestinians just give up the West Bank for peace I’d get a different reaction from you.

        Is Palestine currently governed by a fascist coup gov like Ukraine’s has been since 2014?

        “Israel” is a western colony in Palestine. There’s no similarity between these two situations.

        Israel doesn’t want to give Palestinians full and equal rights as Israeli citizens. Ukraine likewise doesn’t want to give the people of Donbass full and equal rights as Ukrainian citizens, as evidenced by them banning political parties that were popular there and shelling their cities well before Russia was involved.

        What has the Ukrainian government ever done to show that they’re interested in governing the Donbass in the interests of the people living there? What has Israel ever done to show that they’re interested in governing the West Bank in the interests of the people living there? There is no hypocrisy, you’re just not examining the issues beyond a surface level knee jerk reaction.
