In this circumstance, it’s being realistic.

This was the predicted outcome from the start of that slavic territory war.

Ukraine, living next to russia, not arming or training itself, is now grifting from American Taxpayers to attempt to regain the lost territory thus far.

At some point something will give, and considering everything so far, I highly doubt it will be russia.

Ukraine will collapse the second The Debt money faucet from USA stops.

Instead of spending their cash on corruption, being a laundromat for US Politicians, and on anything but Military hardware and personnel, maybe they should formed some defensive pacts with neighbors, fortified the border with the big bad russians, and armed themselves to the teeth.

obviously Ukraine wasn’t worried about Russia, even when they got attacked 10 years ago.

I’d Argue that the state of affairs Ukraine was in was so bad that Poland could have made similar gains the russians have, in similar circumstances.

Putin's not my man at all. I actually feel for the Ukrainian's who voted for Zelenskyy because he campaigned on the platform that he would bring a peaceful resolution to eastern Ukraine unrest. Instead, as he was in peace talks with Putin, Boris Johnson approached Zelenskyy and told him not to engage in peace talks with Putin, that the NATO nations would stand behind him.

So, Zelenskyy followed the enticement offered up by evil who desired a proxy war that would be waged in Ukraine & use the Ukrainian people as the fodder & warriors of that proxy war.

You treat Zelenskyy as a national hero, while I see him as an evil man for his willingness to succumb to an offer fashioned by evil.

Apparently you also believe Biden is a fine person, even after you see what he is doing to our nation and that his masters are the most evil collection of men who have ever walked this good earth.

For if you didn't, then you would not be standing behind him or the feckless Republicans who also stand with him.

Spare me the insults, because as a lifelong Republican, there many in the GOPe faction which represents the other half of the Uni-party abomination that have been complicit in the fleecing of this nation's middle-class and slowly selling our nation down the river to enrich themselves, and I clearly see that as well.

Don't try to shame me, for it's you who has more to be ashamed of, because you have your blinders on ad operate under the premise of see no evil.

I love my nation and that nation is under attack by the same people who started this proxy war, because they have evil designs on us all.

Our nation no longer exists as envisioned & created by our founding fathers, and it is on the ropes & erasing as we speak.

Wake up man, you are assisting evil by mistakenly believing that you are fighting evil.

Both sides of the equation have evil present. However, from where I see the evil is overwhelming on our side when I look at what our government is promoting, especially when it comes to sexualizing the children of this nation, as well as, the dumbing down of them.

Heck, they have even declared the patriots as the number 1 enemy of this nation claiming we are all White Nationalist Racists. Nothing could be further from the truth. Every Democrat I have ever known is in reality a racist.

Furthermore, allowing & turning aa blind eye to human trafficking & especially children, is pure unadulterated evil that runs as deep as it possibly can.

For these reasons your silly attempts to shame me are dismissed & your stock shrinks in value to the point I wonder how you are able to live with yourself.

Happy Easter, take this day to reexamine your own beliefs.

Okay, obviously I meant to type Czech Republic. But I was after all, very tired & wanted to go to bed. I had let the dogs out and was headed there. I should have continued. 🤣

Difference between you Ghoul & me, is the fact that I have the capacity to laugh at my silly mistakes, for I know that I make mistakes, and when I do I own up to them. While you double-down and continue making them, Ghoul. 🤣

That only proves there are military losses, are they winning? If they are winning then why is Russia still there, and why is Russia able to advance.

I see no evidence that Ukraine is making any real dent in the Russian forces.

Furthermore, I see evil on all sides of the equation.

By your profile, I would think you too would be more concerned about this nation, and that the leader of this nation is a crooked person who needs to be replaced by Trump.

Wow, talk about being a delusional narcissist.

I must have hit a nerve with all that projection of yours.

Yes, Zelensky ran on a platform of ending the war with Russia, but you’re yebanutyi if you think that Putin was actually going to negotiate in good faith. In fact when has Putin EVER negotiated in good faith?

I honestly don’t give a sh*t about Zelensky, but when people like YOU put out lies such as “you support nazis”, I put out the truth. Unfortunately for you, Russia has far bigger problem with nazis.

I also don’t give a sh*t about Biden either.

“Lifelong Republican”? like Liz, songbird McCain, Mitch, crybaby kinzinger, and the others? ROFL.

“Wake up man, you are assisting evil by mistakenly believing that you are fighting evil.”

Hi pot, how’s kettle?

Unlike you and your ilk, I AM awake, and I DO see the evil. The evil that is Putin, as well as the evil that is Iran, North Korea, and China.

As far as child trafficking goes, the country you despise has more laws and stiffer punishments against human trafficking than what Russia has. They even have programs to help the victims of trafficking. Russia on the other hand vilifies the victims of trafficking. And speaking of Russia, where are all those Ukrainian children that were abducted by those peaceful Russians?

I get it, for people like you it’s “Better to be red than dead.” Maybe one day you’ll wake up like Charles Lindbergh did.

I must have hit a nerve with all that projection of yours.

Based upon your emotional retort, I would say just the opposite is more likely the case.

And, no. I'm not like Liz Chaney whatsoever. Because I have always been a conservative Republican. She never was.

But again, this was an ill-conceived plan to begin with, and if you believe that NATO & Biden were operating in good faith, you are the delusional one. Because this was purely to try and degrade Russia's ability to defend its sovereignty.

I honestly don’t give a sh*t about Zelensky, but when people like YOU put out lies such as “you support nazis”, I put out the truth. Unfortunately for you, Russia has far bigger problem with nazis.

This proves that you jump to erroneous conclusions, because you failed to see why I had said that, not to you but to someone else.

Let me help you understand:

To: Robert DeLong

Putin’s “peaceful resolution” is the dismemberment of Ukraine as a sovereign nation by annexing the Donbas, Crimea, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson. Pardon me, but I’ve seen this movie before - in 1939 in Munich, when Hitler’s “peaceful resolution” was the annexation of a wide swath of Czechoslovakia, followed by occupation of what was left.

Spare me, Nazi ghoul.

The Ukrainian Nazi supporting factions were well known , but then the internet started burying the articles about the Ukrainian Nazi faction which is of considerable size. Did the government order that suppression? Who knows? But we know darn well they have suppressed lots of things, don't we.

Don't bother apologizing, because I know darn well you won't.

Yes, Zelensky ran on a platform of ending the war with Russia, but you’re yebanutyi if you think that Putin was actually going to negotiate in good faith. In fact when has Putin EVER negotiated in good faith?

I have no clue if Putin will or will not negotiate in good faith, and neither do you in reality.

One thing I do know is that Biden is a crooked person, who never speaks honestly. Thus, nothing he does should be taken as being done in good faith either.

Furthermore, I realize the campaign of propaganda to demonize both Putin & Russia going back to the Obama presidency, also. So, it's not surprising that many people believe that about Putin & Russia, because after all, before Ukraine had secured their independence, they had been subjected to the iron fisted rule of the USSR. So as Americans we have had a long history of looking at Russia was a jaundiced eye, and with good reason. That still doesn't mean our biases carried forth are correct however.

Dr. Postol is Professor Emeritus of Science, Technology and National Security at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This is an edited transcript of an interview of March 20, 2024, had this to say about the negotiations:

I’m outraged as an American, that this war has been a slaughter of innocent people on both sides, both Russians and Ukrainians; because this war did not have to be fought. This was a war that was instigated by the Western political leadership. And then, when there was an agreement reached between Russia and Ukraine in March of 2022, literally a few weeks after the initial Russian invasion, the United States blocked the agreement.

This agreement was initialed by both Ukrainian and Russian representatives who negotiated it. And Zelensky was told, “If you don’t reject this agreement, you’re on your own. We won’t help you in any way.” So … he pulled out of the agreement. And the United States had people like Lloyd Austin, our Secretary of Defense, making statements like, “We want this war to go on because we think we can do strategic damage to Russia.”

Professor Postol: This war was not and is not about territory. It was about NATO expansion…. In the [Spring 2022—ed.] agreement that was negotiated—that Zelensky then backed out of—Putin basically said, “You can take back all the lands. We have taken all of them almost immediately. We will withdraw our troops”—except for Crimea, because Crimea is so fundamental to the security of Russia, that he wasn’t going to give that back. He did make it clear that he wasn’t. Other than that, he said, “Just don’t join NATO and we’re out of here.”

Now, I have no clue where he gets his information from, but if this is accurate, then perhaps you don't know as much as you think you know about Putin. But then again it would be understandable, because the press & the RINOs, & the Democrats have been lying to the American public for years, no make that decades.

Have a blessed day.
