You just acknowledged Russia shouldn’t have invaded Ukraine.

I think Victor davis hanson wrote one of his books explaining that the axis in ww2 never stood a chance of victory because of population and industrial capacity. Russia has a much larger population than the ukraine and much less industrial capacity; but this time will be totally different.

If Ukraine makes it to the second half of 2025, they’ll be negotiating whether Russia gets to keep the part of Kyiv east of the Dnieper river.

I sure did. Putin used the lamest excuse ever to go to war. Figure that this would not have happened if Trump were president, but Biden screwed the pooch in so many ways. Directly and indirectly.

That’s why I say Biden is culpable.

I’m hoping Ukraine goes into these “post-war” negotiations with Russia after it has been reduced in size to a small Kiev city block with just enough room for two small homes: one for Alexander Vindman and the other for Victoria Nuland.

But meaningful negotiations can begin only in the second half of 2025 at the earliest, he guesses

That flag waving made me sick to my stomach, and outraged beyond all belief. You are correct, corruption to the max.

“ And they keep sending OUR money over there.”

Well, technically, a lot of it is heading right back to D.C…after proper laundering, of course.

Biden’s war...

Paid for with OUR tax dollars, which would not have been possible without the RINO traitors in the House.

More like, if the Russians are still going on this in 2025, the negotiation will be if they stop at the Seret/Ternopil River, or just take the whole thing.

What will be left of Ukraine at that point?

Ukraine has been on the brink since the invasion began, but in reality, they’ve been on the brink since Crimea was taken by Russia.

No, they have been on the brink since the illegal coup we fomented in 2014. That setoff a civil war.

Russia is a state sponsor of proxy wars, sabotage, and terrorism - unchanged since Lenin gained power.

Ukraine has been on the brink, since 2003 when Putin began planning the Russian invasion.

Ukraine “completely collapsed” days ago, weeks ago, months ago, years ago, with “nothing left.” Putin also died or went comatose multiple times over those same time periods.

Almost as many times as Donald Trump has “ended democracy.”

So they can skim off as much as possible to line their pockets.

**************************

One of the stupidest foreign policy documents ever signed by a Great Power Nation(The United States) are the two documents that make up the USA-Ukraine alliance.

The U.S. Ukraine Strategic Partnership was signed on December 19, 2008 at the end of the neoconservative “war on terror” GW Bush Presidency.
This retarded document was inexplicably updated by the Biden administration on November 10, 2021, giving Ukraine a “green light” for a military alliance with NATO.

The Russian warhawks saw an opening, applied their pressure on the Russian government, which eventually led the Russian Establishment to back the invasion.

This war was avoidable, but many factions in Russia, Ukraine, and the United States/EU/NATO “wanted it to happen.”

“Cha-Ching”
