Biden’s war...

[toddausauras]

Anyone engaged in a land war against Russia (on Russia’s doorstep) will always be on the brink. End it!

[ducttape45]

Oh, and oh yeah, we just sent them $66B dollars? Uh huh, more money laundering before Ukraine falls......

[adorno]

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.

Israel is on the brink too.

This is the result of poking the bear at Uncle Sam’s behest.
He jumps out of the way and you get eaten!
(Yes,this sounds anti American but my reading of our history since WW2 is we tend to stir up or get involved in other nation’s problems then when the political heat gets too warm, we bail but only after the multitude of deaths and incalculable lost of public treasury and faith in our government.)

“But meaningful negotiations can begin only in the second half of 2025”

That’s BS. They can start anytime both sides agree to meaningful negotiations.

I don’t know why the second half of 2025 is the magic date for negations, there must be some sense of logic to it. Could it be he thinks Trump will be in power and insist on an end to this war and it will take a couple months to get it organized?

[Yo-Yo]

Well, it's a good thing we're giving that $61 billion worth of state-of-the-art U.S. military equipment to Russia via Kiev...

I'm sure Moscow is thanking Brandon for the Patriot Anti-Aircraft missile batteries to study.

[BigFreakinToad]

quick, send them another 100 billion in Monopoly money

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Which brink?
Winning?
Losing?
Igniting WW III?
Bleeding the US Treasury Dey?
Filling all the US pols’ pockets completely up?

[farmguy]

We better hurry up and get that cash over there so everyone can get their cut before its all over.

[Reverend Wright]

“...second half of 2025...”

---

Ukraine is not going to make it to the second half of 2025.

[McGruff]

Ukraine will never last to the the second half of 2025.

[PGR88]

Ukraine’s goals are not only militarily impossible - they are completely contradictory.

Ukraine’s government is radical Ukraine nationalist-Azov, they claim the Eastern (and Central) Provinces as “forever Ukrainian,” but at the same time want to eliminate the Russian language, eliminate the influence of the Moscow Patriarchate of the Orthodox Church, they want to suppress the many historical Russian cultural figures from Ukraine - which are all basic cultural foundations of the people there.

Its a complete contradiction.

[mikey_hates_everything]

As opposed to Russia. But then nukes would be flying and dropping. Yet some here still hold out hope…

[aMorePerfectUnion]

This has been a game-changer for Ruskies:

Yeah. right

[Fledermaus]

We’ve always been at war with Oceania

[Kazan]

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

What will be left of Ukraine at that point?

[Republican Wildcat]

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.”
