At the first meeting, the Russians presented a set of harsh conditions, effectively demanding Ukraine’s capitulation. This was a nonstarter. But as Moscow’s position on the battlefield continued to deteriorate, its positions at the negotiating table became less demanding. So on March 3 and March 7, the parties held a second and third round of talks […]

Regarding territorial issues, parts of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions of Donbass would remain under Russian control

Moscow ostensibly wanted Kiev to slash the size of its army to 85,000 people, while Ukraine insisted on retaining a strength of 250,000.

    Out of curiosity, what is your opinion on her views on these issues:

    Germany has an issue where “people with a traditional family no longer feel valued and someone who is white, male and heterosexual almost has to apologise for it”.

    The party is also against loosening regulations on legally changing one’s gender; Wagenknecht believes that such a law “turns parents and children into guinea pigs for an ideology that only benefits the pharmaceutical lobby.”

      So theres Probably some Personal Issues in the Backround there, with her Persian Father leaving her as a Child , she never having the “Traditional Family”. I assume that these “Traditional Values Mimimimi” was part why she had to step back from Leadership.

      The Last “Winner” Issue of the BSW was “Put the German Flag on every Goverment Building” so we are stepping clearly into AFD territory not just Dipping their Toes, its pretty sad and Completly stupid.

      The AFD allready exist , we dont a Second one. So BSW should take the sane Positions “Speaking with Russia” , “Nato does not bring us security” , and draw a Clear distinction line on Liberal Archievment , then Protect them From the AFD. Its Not only amoral but also tacticly bad.

      EDit: The Cognito Hazard Quote: “turns parents and children into guinea pigs for an ideology that only benefits the pharmaceutical lobby.” , is pretty insane and new to me , wheres that from ?

      • “traditional family” is an ultra-common queerphobic dogwhistle, which is hardly surprising from a piece of shit like Dagdelen who fought tooth and nail against the trans community during the endless, painful years that it took to pass the self ID law. Her stance on this is the actual party line, as is the transphobia quoted above which is just the run of the mill conspiracy brained take that terfs had ever since Janice Raimond wrote Transsexual Empire in the 1970s. Which is hardly surprising when the BSW takes their entire positions on this issue from an ancient arch terf fossil like Wagenknechts bestie Alice Schwartzer. If you would listen to your trans comrades instead of insulting us, you could know that.
