What does Ukraine get in return?
Sounds like a 70’s leftist Democrat.
Led to disaster then. Will lead to disaster again.
“We haven’t won the war yet so why spend more money on it”?
Apply that logic to Hitler (they did howd that turn out)
Yes - probably along the Dnieper River. And I wouldn’t be surprised if that is all that Putin wants, along with other NATO concessions concerning Russian borders and removal of sanctions and other barriers. They really need Trump to work out a deal.
I think Ukes should fight to the last man, woman, and child. Once that happens war will be over for the Ukes. If it goes the other way, I’m fine with that, too. Not my circus, not my monkeys. Let the Slavs fight it out.
That is basically the point here. Neither side is going to win an absolute victory, so there will be a negotiated settlement. It would be best if Russia gave up some of the conquered lands and if other parts were demilitarized, but this is going to end at some point, and it won't end in total victory or even in a return to the status quo.
“Corpses and Kickbacks”
That’s what all the spending on Ukraine by our political leaders accomplished.
Just like we serfs have gotten used to seeing our country ceded to migrant communist vermin flooding over the former borders...
From the Uke friendly, no territorial loss, Zelensky negotiated and Uniparty DC quashed March of ‘22 settlement to unconditional surrender. Thank you, globohomo/neocon alliance.
That’s right J.D., give the mass murderers a little something for the effort. /s
Lines are arbitrary but what is the lesson? That aggression pays.
Will we put American troops on whatever border is decided upon, also other NATO countries, signalling to Putin that the next invasion means an actual war with the west, not merely a proxy war? If not, the lesson learned by Putin is if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.
Appeasement didn’t work with Iran. Unfreezing $6 billion resulted in Iran’s proxies in Gaza, Iraq, and Yemen going on the warpath, not only against Israel, but against us.
Appeasement didn’t work with Venezuela. Lifting sanctions on that country resulting in their massing troops on the border of Guyana.
I could, of course, go back in time, but the lesson is obvious: appeasement is taken as a sign of weakness, and results in more war.
It’s because of American weakness that the world is in flames, not because of American strength. Trump reduced the number of wars we were in, with peace through strength. Biden has jacked the number of wars we are in, with appeasement.
The lion will lie down with the lamb when we’re the lion.
Reckless appeasement to a murderous psychopath .
Nice one, hillbilly.
Of course land for peace generally ends with no land and no peace but entirely their business.
If the EU wants to get involved their business.
We should stay out of it.
BTW this is exactly what I predicted would happen once the US got tired of babysitting Europe. There will be a bunch of petty and not so petty wars because war is the natural state of Europe.
There is nothing they like as much as they like killing each other.
Just think of the billions of taxpayer dollars stolen from workers’ paychecks we could prevent from Joe Pedo Inc giving to Zelenskyyyyy if the Ruzzkis did take over the Ukraine.
In some of the areas, the population is predominately Russian.
One could make the case we need to cede parts of California to Mexico.
No elections....close Russian churches, no Russian speaking allowed...
Did you get your COVID shot when you ‘had no choice’?
Just another sign that the Ukrainians should take no advice regarding the conduct of war from an American elite that has lost virtually every war it has fought in the past 80 years.
This is one of those think it but don’t say it moments. Being a Senator he should know better
Neither Russia or Ukraine will be allowed to end this war, if either tries to end this, it will only result in escalation.
The only possibility to stop this is a President Trump.
