>>513890658That isn't what they're saying, they're saying they want peace talks now, in fact they claim to have offered peace talks before too.
Russia does not want peace talks right now, it is a lie.
Technically using this idiotic logic every single conflict in history was started by a peaceful party because you can say 'we want peace, we'll get peace when the other side is dead :^) we are peaceful!'. It's a retarded argument and everyone who isn't 80 IQ sees it for what it is.
>>513890119All sorts of stupid people believe in it for their own reasons.
A lot of Russian sympathizers are outright commies who have always despised NATO, these are people like Abby Martin, Galloway, Noam Chomsky, who will occasionally, begrudgingly say something negative about the war but you can tell their heart isn't in it, and usually they'll immediately pivot to complaining about America as usual.
These people don't really believe the Russian argument tbqh, they just say they do because it's better optics to pretend you're a dove rather than say you're a bloodthirsty warmongering hawk who loves the war.
There's also a bunch of people who think Putin is a scorned anime hero fighting globhomo and that the entire war is being fought due to trannies and wokeness, these people are dumb as rocks.
