So you swallowed the stuff about Putin being Hitler? lol?
Lol its easy to make these speeches from your cozy Ireland home or being in Brussel. Again nothing about how a peace could look like with Russia under Putin right now.
I agree that the working class has nothing to gain from this war but I also think it has nothing to gain from an Ukrainian collapse.

There’s similarities and the policy of appeasement will have similar effects including a Ukrainian genocide.
I feel like she should be made to restate her proposition as “I think the Ukrainian people will be better off if we do not provide them with tanks and weapons to defend themselves against Russia.”
Of course she won’t say this because it sounds ridiculous even to a child.

Ah yes, the real victims here are the people who are being disagreed with for wanting to turn a blind eye to genocide against the Ukrainians and instead continue life in comfortable ignorance.
Hitler is hardly the only person in history who’s committed genocide.
Russia has made it abundantly clear in both word and action that there is no magical unicorn third way where they just stop their conquest and genocide in Ukraine if only the Ukrainians are sufficiently weak so as not to be able to defend themselves against the desired conquest and genocide.
You want to do nothing about genocide and are aghast that people think that’s a shitty position to take.
Her position is “I will be better off if we don’t provide the Ukrainian people with arms to defend themselves against Russia,” with no consideration for how bad or good it is for Ukrainians.
It’s more simple than that, per that video. It’s just ‘I’m against all wars’, as if that’s a deep thing to say.
Russia’s prison population has shrunk this year
According to a regular report published by the Russian Federal Penitentiary Service, Russia’s penal colony population decreased by about 8% from 353,210 in August to 324,906 in early November, the largest drop in more than a decade.

Speaking in Volgograd - the modern name for Stalingrad - Mr Putin hinted that he could seek to move beyond conventional weapons.
“Those who hope to defeat Russia on the battlefield do not understand, it seems, that a modern war with Russia will be very different for them,” the 70-year-old leader said. “We are not sending our tanks to their borders, but we have the means to respond. It won’t be limited to the use of armoured hardware. Everyone must understand this.”
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov declined to elaborate on Mr Putin’s comments, but did tell reporters that “as new weapons are delivered by the collective West, Russia will make greater use of its potential to respond”.

If “everyone must understand this” then maybe it would be best to say what you mean and be explicit. What’s their red line for nuking us?
Russia will make greater use of its potential to respond.
Peskov is a diplomat. He’s supposed to know when and how to make himself clearly understood. Weird he doesn’t do that.
He’s being unclear on purpose.

The US is also vague on nuclear use policy, for obvious reasons.

Every time they say something like this, it generates news headlines. I think that may be a specific goal.
He could also respond via The Cyber
Peskov is the press secretary, not a diplomat.
You may want to edit his wikipedia entry.
