Ukraine's Zelenskyy says the security of the world is at stake amid Russia war: "The threat is real"

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he fears Russia's three-year war on Ukraine could escalate if Ukraine, supported by its allies, does not stand firm against further Russian military advancement.

Zelenskyy sat down with 60 Minutes in his hometown of Kryvyi Rih, a week after a Russian missile killed 19 people, including nine children near a playground.

Zelenskyy said that at this moment in the war, the security of the entire world is at stake.

"We respect your position," he said in English, in an invitation directed to Mr. Trump, "but, please, before any kind of decisions, any kind of plans for negotiations, come to see the people, civilians, warriors, hospitals, churches, children destroyed or dead."
Hmm. good luck with that. he's not going to care, because he doesn't care about anything that doesn't immediately benefits or impacts him.

Yep it's not just about ukraine. He's carry on if he thought he could

Been saying it for years now, world war is taking shape right before our eyes. That's what happens when you elect "strongmen" who just worsen inequality, govern poorly, weaken the status quo, and damage alliances.
- This is so true: I often wonder what kind of deriding homophobic nicknames the most enlightened politic leaders of the past would be called if they were acting in politics today.
  
  Nothing new under the sun. Julius Caesar was called "every woman's man, and every man's woman".

I think Ukraine should claim Sakhalin and Murmansk but graciously offer them to Russia in exchange for a cease fire.
/s yeah fuck Putin

Putin wants the world. He ~~needs~~ has the USA arsenal

Yes it is very real.

- There is a way for this to stop and you probably agree. Russia just has to stop and go home. That’s it, simple. But they will not. This indicates that the aggressor will not stop, whatever you do. You conceding by stopping yourself and handing over what the aggressor wants will not stop this war.
  To put it simple: you have no control over what the aggressor does.
  What you do control though is your own actions. And this entails to make the aggressor see that their actions are not tolerated. How do you achieve this proverbial “line in the sand”? By not letting them cross that line. What needs to be done to achieve that goal? By using force.
  Bullies will not stop until you stop their aggression.
  Your wish to “just stop already, concede and give in, go for a cease fire” will not deter nor stop the aggressor. History has shown us this simple fact time and time again. Your desire and wish for peace is noble and understandable but not realistic. I think deep down you know or realize this but let your desire for peace cloud this realization.
  We are strange and weird monkeys as a species, having a moral concept or desire does not overcome this fact. Deal with it you must or your fellow monkeys will take your bananas and will give not two shits on how you feel or what your desires are.
- Right?? Just give Putin Crimea, he will stop!
  
  Just one more province, bro. I swear bro, just one more. Bro, it's the last one, bro. trust me bro.
- I’m happy to elicit a guilt trip response: name two countries you would concede to Russia.
