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.

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:

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.

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.
