Why not give negotiated peace a chance? We can still step back.

Ceasefire so civilians can get out. Then, let the Ukrainians and Russians duke it out. Russia is the invader, the aggressor here. And in a stalemate the defender is the victor.

neocon warmongers like Romney and Graham will shed tears if there is peace.

Not if Biden has anything to do with this. The Ukrainians bought him fair and square. Of course, he thought he was buying them, but nobody ever said either he or Hunter was very smart.

That said, I can’t believe how frivolous they’re being about the possibility of a massive war. WWIII...tee hee hee.

I guess that’s because the governing class always survives.

It better not end with a land for peace trade off. That’s just giving Putin what he wanted. More land and no NATO next door.

traditionally russia has taken the position:

What is Ours is Ours. What is Yours is Negotiable.

They held eastern Europe a lot longer than Ukraine. A ceasefire without a withdrawal is just an Occupation. Like getting your shoe back from a Pitbull.

According to the Polish diplomats a week or so away. Likely accurate as I see the Biden regime trying to ramp up the plandemic again. Gotta keep the plebes from thinking about stolen elections, $4.00 gas and $25 steak.

It’s doubtful this ends soon. Putin appears to be doubling down, which may well result in the conflict widening as Russia gets exposed as a dinosaur. Belarus may yet rebel, and Georgia could move to retake it’s occupied territory. If things get bad enough, Japan could make demands for the return of its islands to finally end WWII between Japan and Russia. Russia is failing badly on the world stage.

The only peace Putin wants, is that which ends the war, with Ukraine being recognized as a crucial part of the reconstituted Soviet Union.

There will be no independent Ukraine as long as Putin is in charge of Russia. And, that's a FACT!

Yes, look for them to reach an agreement in the next week or so.
