David Baszucki, CEO of Roblox, at the height of media attention to Roblox's utter failure at child safety, amidst a flurry of lawsuits, dismissed all that with "parents shouldn't let their kids use Roblox if they're worried" and pivoted to talking about how Roblox would be an ideal dating platform.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.
