Whoa, the calls for assassination… this isn’t Reddit for sure.
I guess this is an extreme view on Lemmy, but I’d want my country to host pretty much any war criminal for talks on US soil. Kim Jong Un, Netenyahu, terrorist leaders, cartels, Russias even more violent oligarchs, anyone, just like I’d want a president to risk negotiating on their soil, given the opportunity.
Peaceful negotiation without being ambushed is a human right. It’s building a dialogue for very little cost other than pride. If people want to talk, talk.
Of course don’t validate them with repeated nothingburgers, but still.
Now, how the president behaves and what they negotiate is critical here. This is not an excuse to leave licking a killer’s boots.
I certainly wouldn’t mind having the US host talks between two conflict parties. But just compare the whole thing to the meetings with Zelenskyy. The US has very obviously picked a side and it’s honestly disgusting what is happening here.
But calling for assassination of Putin during an ostensibly diplomatic meeting is, uh, a lot. I guess it’s within the rules of this instance, but still.
There is no negotiating going on, because that would involve Ukraine. This is just two criminals having a secret meeting about what crimes they will do next, and they should both be arrested on the spot.

Right. Of course.

Oh, that’s what you meant - you’re right. I’m pretty sure this kind of speech wouldn’t be allowed on reddit.
No fuck Putin, the sooner he dies the better. Why are you so intent on licking the boots of that stain on humanity?
Killing diplomats or those on diplomatic missions has been beyond the pale for almost every civilization since forever.

A peaceful negotiation would involve Ukraine and Zelensky. This is two evil ghouls strategizing how to inflict more evil on the world.
Imagine all the heads of state who could have killed Hitler if they’d just known he was a bad hombre.
