Putinistas rejoicing!
Its also time to stop pimping on tv commercials little kids begging for money to send ‘ blankets’ to ukrain.
( I bet someone in the TalyBiden admin has got a piece of that action )
Does that include withdrawing from Crimea, which was annexed in 2014 and held a plebiscite that overwhelming favored rejoining Russia?
The separatist Eastern provinces have been fighting for over 8 years against the central government, which has had no control over these provinces since 2014. Ukraine signed the Minsk Agreement in 2015 that promised to give these provinces more autonomy. The Ukraine never implemented the agreements. What happens to these provinces going forward?
Biden seems so eager to acquiesce to Zelenskyy’s demands, one might think Z has something on B.
Follow the $$$$$$.

It doesn’t make sense that Russia and Ukraine aren’t sitting down and working out some kind of an agreement. If they don’t do it soon, there will be nothing left but death, destruction, and carnage. This is a war that never should have happened, but it did. The solution can never be as good as it would have been before the shooting started, but there is a solution, and it should be figured out now—not later—when everyone will be DEAD!
Funny how fast people go from hero to zero on the FR. Just one heretical opinion and off with their heads.
“Sounds like a silly quote, when you have an invasion by a superpower, to say that aiding a defense is putting fuel on a fire. Seems like that fire is fueled from Russia. I’m all for degrading Putin’s army by proxy. All he has to do is withdraw to stop that.”
I agree. Putin started this sh!t, and it can end tomorrow if he showed some honor and called the whole thing off and withdrew his forces. But Putin is not an honorable man.
Could be. Just could be. And it is Ukraine, after all….
So when China invades Taiwan we should step aside and say let them have Taiwan or we will be adding fuel to fire ? And I thought highly of this general. The Ukrainians don’t seem to want to back down .. so what is the problem ? This is about making any rogue power like China or Russia understand that when they pull crap like this there will be a heavy price to pay .
Quit shipping the arms to kill Russians when the Russian death toll equals American casualties sustained in Korea, Vietnam, Persian Gulf war, GWOT etc.
Keeping the conflict going on for a long time is exactly what official Washington wants to do.
You’re right, I do remember reading something about that recently.
“So the Russians should just be allowed to capture a sovereign European nation ?”
—
I don’t care: not our monkeys, not our circus - just as I’m not interested in getting mixed up in any number of other wars going on around the world.
You can have your pick of “most important war ever”. Even make it a “war of the month” thing - this month the “Ukraine War To End All War” and next month the “Kurdish–Turkish War To End All War”.
So if China ever invades the US we should all just enjoy the take over, the bloodshed wouldn’t be worth it, right General?
I just lost all respect for the man.
Flynn is a retarded dumbass.
Of course it benefits the USA and the West.
For Russia to bleed out in Ukraine.
It only benefits Russia’s Imperialist dreams to give them an easy win in Ukraine.
Flynn seems like a decent fellow. Did some good service for the country in uniform. But I’m a little cool to anything he has to say. In the first instance he failed to help Trump when he had the chance. Then he failed to speak up and defend himself when the DOJ was coming down on him.
Remember that his job was counter intelligence. It takes a special mindset to lock into that kind of job. And we don’t know which side of the “counter” that he worked. I have trouble believing that, after working in that area for a career, it’s possible to re-train ones self to a “normal” frame of reference. When he’s talking is he pushing an agenda? He needed financial help. Who did he get it from? And why is he speaking up now? As far as I’m concerned he had his chance and I’ll probably file him with Pence.
Relief donations for Ukeland will, I suspect, be chanelled into the same sort of people’s pockets as those for Haiti. Remember all the ‘heart breaking’ optics from Port a Prince with Oprah leading the weepfest?
OK, what's your plan?
Is it Russia's objective to "capture" Ukraine?
Here are Putin's four demands/conditions to end the war:
1. Russia wants Ukraine to change its constitution to enshrine neutrality--
2. This means Ukraine could not join alliances such as Nato and the European Union.
3. Russia wants Ukraine to acknowledge that Crimea is officially Russian territory.
4. Ukraine must also recognize Donetsk and Luhansk as independent states.
None of these demands include taking over the entire country of Ukraine.
