I do agree with you. While the health concerns with dogs are valid, I do feel like there should be some designated dog friendly places. It can get really difficult to arrange your schedule around so that the dog doesn’t stay at home for too long. I live with my mom and my boyfriend, and we almost never go places with the 3 of us as a group.

Also, health issues aside, as far as being disruptive, I feel like kids can be just as disruptive. With so many businesses disallowing dogs, it can sometimes feel like you’re almost being punished for having a dog.

Right. But the point people are trying to make is that the title is somehow “misleading”.

I feel like fast doesn’t change anything. “Surrender or die” is not very “peac-y” whether you’re in Kursk or somewhere else.

I agree that the part that is really messed up is that no one is stopping this.

I guess I used the word “appeasement” because it can resemble peace to the less knowledgeable people. I just don’t know how to get people to see the danger of this type of policy. I’m amazed at how many people don’t think that this will eventually affect them too.

I’m very concerned about how many people mistake Trump’s attempts at appeasement as “peace”. People are actually buying that Zelensky “doesn’t want peace”. What can be done to change this narrative to the people who don’t get it?

You’re right. I just wish there was a way to change that narrative. I’m worried that too many people buy into it. I’m worried that too many people are buying into the whole “I just want bloodshed to stop” sayings.

Yes, and I’m very scared how many people mistake his attempts at appeasement as “peace”. What can be done? People are actually buying that Zelensky doesn’t “want peace”.

I was on a Viber call with my cousin when this missile was flying towards my hometown, where she lives now. We were both crying as she was getting the notifications saying how many seconds are left until it hits.

I’m very disturbed at how many people don’t realize what appeasement does and that when Trump says “peace” he means “appeasement”. I’m afraid that too many people don’t realize this or are scared of WWIII (which means, let someone else die, not me). Why don’t people realize the consequences ofof appeasing Russia? What can be done about this?

Fucking shameful and depressing. Makes me realize that slogans like “never again” are not at all realistic because they’ll always be idiots who think shit doesn’t concern them, until it does.

It’s funny because I’m sure he didn’t mean to be as snarky in that comment. “Costume” means “suit” in Ukrainian and Russian.

You think so?

I do get that to a point. But to express this view so unapologetically is a little painful to see.

I too really wish people didn’t feed the trolls.

Thank you so much for doing your part. I don’t blame you for feeling defeated. I hate defeatist attitudes, but it’s hard not to feel like that.

God, I so wish that an average American was smart enough to realize this. I feel like all they care about are their gas prices.

Yea, it’s a shame that the American people elected this clown to represent them. I’m really heartbroken they/we didn’t choose better.

Yea, this whole “matters that don’t concern us” take is really scary to me. It scares me that people don’t want to learn from history and realize that it eventually will.

As a Ukrainian living in the US, I appreciate people like you.
