Stop your weird nationalism: the US is a colonial empire as are most western European countries. Accept it, and move on, you're being an american exceptionalist right now, which is a racist position.

This country stands, and right now those values

Which values? Colonialism? Genocide? White supremacy? Enslavement of the global south? Anticommunism? Burgers?

part of what this country stands for is standing agianst tyranny

Bull.shit. I'm Spanish. Go ahead and tell my murdered ancestors during fascism how glad they are that the US had perfect relationships with Franco. Go ask people in Chile what they think of Pinochet and his US-Sponsored fascist coup. Or go ask the progressive leaders of the middle east like Mosaddegh, who were eliminated from power through destabilisation. And that's fucking nothing compared with what the people of Vietnam, Laos or Korea endured during the most intensive bombing campaigns in human history (Laos was bombed by the US with more explosives than the entire explosives used in WW2). Your country IS THE TYRANT, it doesn't stand against tyranny.

What do you want from this interaction?

Presumably, making people understand that the US (and western Europe) represent the most evil shit imaginable in the past 5 centuries including essentially the genocide of the entire continent of America and the colonisation of the entirety of south america, Africa and most of Asia, and that at no point was it worth dying for.

head of the international committee in the Federation Council,

Wow, a fascist lying? Colour me surprised! Surely Russia kidnapped 700k children from a frontline.

Seriously, it's going to be extremely embarrassing in 3 years time when the truth is revealed.

The woman who had to endure constant misogyny during her scientific career. You're placing the responsibility on her instead of the people oppressing her

in an equal world, grants aimed specifically at either sex should not be necessary

Not quite, I'm afraid. Her point was essentially "I had very good grades, so I would have been hired anyway, but instead of hiring me normally, they hired me through this grant for women, which is a form of discrimination". She's not explicitly saying "kick the ladder when I'm up top", but it's essentially the conclusion. She mentions it on the "what's wrong with academia" thingy video.

Victim blaming, classic

Love the part on the video where essentially she says "I was given my first research position thanks to a grant for women. Also, there should be no research grants for women". Piece of shit.

What are you even on about? Russia confirmed they took the kids

What amount of kids are you talking about? I specifically mentioned that this happened occasionally with few children left behind in the frontlines. I also discussed the 16k number thrown around by the Ukrainian government not being backed by any evidence or independent research, and most likely being a propaganda stunt.

I don't have an interest in Russia winning, I'm sad for Ukrainian people and for the existence of the war, I'm just asking you to remember the people on the left of the political spectrum that have been asking for negotiations for the past 3 years, and who've been labeled as "pro-russian" for asking for negotiations as early as possible. The war will end with negotiations, the negotiations will most likely end up being unfortunate for Ukrainian interests and beneficial to the Russian government, and the 3 years of meat grinder could have been avoided if negotiations had happened from the start.

Just the kidnapping of Ukrainian children alone makes it genocidal

Ah yes, the "kidnapping of 16.000 Ukrainian children" that the United Nations report couldn't verify and whose only source is the Ukrainian government, which is famously at war with the country it's accusing. There were some instances of kids in the frontline towns being found by the Russian military and in some cases being sent to Russia, but it's not a generalised thing mainly because, well, there are usually no fucking children in a frontline.

And the immediate ceasefire offer was not on any conditions of territorial exchange, just that they would stop shooting while negotiating. Russia categorically denied any stop to the war this year

Now that Russia is regaining Kursk at a fast pace, how would you expect Russia to want a ceasefire? "Hold up, we're losing fast, let's just stop the shooting altogether?"

Also, why would you say they are losing?

Because the Russian troops have been consistently advancing for the past two years, and in the past week most of Kursk including the city of Sudzha has been retaken by Russia. Just don't be surprised when the war ends by means of negotiation and the terms are bad to Ukraine.

It's an unfair war inflicted on the Ukrainian population, but calling it genocidal is crazy. Look at the civilian casualty rate in Ukraine, and compare it with another non-genocidal war like that of the invasion of Iraq.

They just signaled that they are open to an immediate ceasefire, but the Russians denied the offer.

They're open to an immediate ceasefire on their own conditions, which isn't something you can expect when you're, you know, losing a war.

We do have effective ways, but libs would rather spend their time shitting on communists (the ones who historically and actually fight fascism)
