OPINION: 'As a matter of pragmatism, Roger Waters is doing peace advocates no favors. He’s just making it easier for western hawks to smear anyone who calls for de-escalation and diplomacy as a 'Putin apologist,'' writes BenBurgis
reports of Russian war crimes supported by the evidence “lies, lies, lies, lies,” he’s siding with the warmongers and spitting in the faces of every brave Russian risking beatings or arrest by protesting Putin’s war.
A member of the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine prepares to fire 152 mm howitzer 2A65 Msta-B, amid Russia's attack on Ukraine, near Bahmut, in Donetsk region, Ukraine, February 6, 2023.Hawks aren’t wrong when they point out that if Putin wanted to unilaterally withdraw from all Ukrainian territory and face the domestic political consequences, he could do so. But they are wrong to treat this as the beginning and end of any discussion of de-escalation.
Similarly, it should be possible now to mentally walk and chew bubblegum by calling for de-escalation and diplomacy without evincing any sympathy for the other side’s war effort. That’s the right stance to take morally, and it’s also a practical necessity if doves are going to build public support for their position., and I see the absurd spectacle of Russia’s Deputy U.N.
We desperately need a credible push for peace. The antics of Roger Waters are just one more barrier to that happening—another brick in the wall.
