Hey, canuck_conservative (there would be no more need for NATO, if Russia could just stop attacking its neighbors).

Are you keeping score?

In the last 60 years, how many countries has Russia attacked vs the number the US has attacked?

Just in case you don't know how to count, the answer is -- the US wins by a long shot.

So much for the "rules-based order," democracy, and sovereign country and international border protections.

I believe the content of the article is about the fact that Ukraine can’t win and it’s probably in their best interest to negotiate. Otherwise they will just keep dying.

Ukraine needs to go to guerrilla warfare ... revive the WWII partisan campaigns

We need to stop funding sources of hatred in Galicia and Volhynia.

The problem is that for DC, “negotiation” means, “leave, give us control of your gas, rejoin the grain deal on our terms, pay reparations, line up with us against China, and we will tell you what Russia’s legitimate concerns are”.

It’s retarded.

“In November, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley said that a victory by Ukraine may not be achieved militarily and that Kiev should look for a diplomatic solution to the crisis.”

There you have it, straight from the horsesass’s mouth. Somebody coined the term, “perfumed prince’s”, may I introduce you to the Queen of The Perfumed Prince’s, the military is so screwed right now.

The Russians will take the entire country if that is what it takes to end the proxy that we started.

I thought they were supposed to do that in 2022?

“Moral clarity” and a “working moral compass” only goes so far, especially when it ends up bankrupting, and weakening a once great nation, and seeing it destroyed from within.

"Russia is never as strong, or as weak, as she appears." -- Bismark

Wise words. America has fallen far faster than Russia ever will.

Winning wars is so-o-o-o-o middle of the last century.

Keeping it going is more profitable.

Hersh writes on https://seymourhersh.substack.com .

There is a reason why he writes independently and is rarely published by major news outlets. He builds novella like stories around "anonymous sources" who supposedly know the "real story", and are talking to Hersh "confidentially". It is hard to tell if his sources are in the know, are feeding him garbage, or if Hersh fabricated them to say what he wants to believe.

As for Southfront, it is registered in Russia and based in Crimea. It is a known Russian information operation masquerading as citizen news since it was started. Just how is the FBI going to interrogate their volunteers, when they are in Crimea or web brigade offices in Saint Petersburg or Moscow?

“Fame and Glory. Promotion and re-election. The jewel in the crown was to be Zelensky’s achievement of Putin’s unconditional surrender after the lightning spring offensive. They were even planning a Nuremberg type trial at the world court, with Jake as our representative. “

Everyone should be TERRIFIED these fools are in power. Clinical Delusion.

They’d like to get us all killed.

“but hit-and-run sabotage attacks can be effective and cheap ... they’ll figure it out”

Russia will just send Chechens and various contract killers after them...while claiming to be suppressing terrorists.

that’s the difference, Russian troll

So, let me get this straight.

It is perfectly alright to invade country after country all around the world, killing millions in the process, and then bullying those countries for eons and controlling them through threats (economic and otherwise) -- just don't try and take over any small part (like we did in Mexico, Guam, and Hawaii).

Excuse me. But you're a fool.
