This is excellent news. This conflict will defuse itself if the US and NATO stop stirring the pot and egging Zelensky on.

I’m no fan of Biden but this isn’t caving. The US should be nowhere near this conflict and we certainly shouldn’t be encouraging the Ukrainians to attack Russia. Russia will not attack unless Ukraine starts.

Not unless we also imagine that the U.S.A. had invaded many other nations and imposed a long, miserable communist dictatorship over them, killing tens of millions of people in them in the process.

I’m only against this idea because of the bloodshed involved. I’d love to see Turkey fall to Russia and to “Make Istanbul Constantinople Again”! It would be the victory of the millennium.

You are confusing the modern Russian Federation with the USSR. The countries couldn’t be more different. You would be forgiven for assuming that they are the same countries because the RF holds all of the USSR seats on UNSC, etc, but the RF paid dearly for that, assuming the foreign debt of the ENTIRE USSR, including the countries that declared independence. Not only did they assume the debt but it has since been paid in FULL.

The Hagia Sophia is in better hands in Russia. At least it won’t be a mosque.

Every Tsar since Peter the Great has dreamt of retaking Constantinople, the Bosporus and the Dardanelles

But all this caving by slo Joe is being observed by Taiwan and Japan. The mullahs in Iran must be overjoyed.

Strange part of all of this...the XiComs see the SCS as theirs so a nuke in that area will be seen as one on their homeland....it would go south damn quick. Guam would be target 1, probably all of our regional bases including those in Japan. Maybe the Marine bases in Australia.

Using one on China or Russia would be really hard to control. They’d be really provoked to counterforce strike somehow. China’s policy seems to be full scale strategic response too if needed. That’s end of the world scenario.

Damn good question.

Try keeping your eyes open when you sneeze.

pre-emptive appeasement!

THAT's the term I had on the tip of my tongue.

Biden is now a pussy.

Good job.

Perhaps from now on we can allow adults in the room when the military plans are being discussed.

What a bunch of amateurs.
