They did. The Russians invaded anyway.

Pope, fuck off.

Perhaps he too is getting too old, Ratzinger was 2 years younger when he abdicated. How can you negotiate with somebody who:

  • Doesn't keep international treaties
  • Tortures & kills POWs and soldiers trying to give up
  • Tortures, rapes and kills also civilians

No negotiations.

They've already tried the white flag when they let Russia take Crimea and the DPR. It didn't work.

A shepherd is only your friend until you get to the killing floor.

I never thought I'd say fuck right off to the pope.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

Id be happy to do it for you. No problem whatsoever.

If the Vatican was occupied he'd be singing a different tune.

Sure thing, Ukraine will offer them Vatican City for a complete withdrawal of russian troops from all of Ukraine.

i think he's one of the best popes so far, but - you know - the bar is so low it's in hell

Easy for him to say from his ivory tower. Keep ignoring reality, Frank; it’s worked out so well for the church lately.

Fuck right off on that...funny hat

If he want to prevent more deaths then maybe go tell Putin to raise white flag, since KD ratio is 5:1 in favor of Ukraine. Him suggesting Ukraine surrender proves he is Russian agent.

Well, guess it's great that Ukraine is not Catholic then...

@petrescatraian
The real Russian national religion is Death Worship. Every time you turn a page of Russian history, you see that it is a history of killing and being killed. Much more so than any other nation.
