So CNN is a reliable source? I guess you also believe President Trump colluded with the Russians to win the election in 2016.

Like Vietnam in ‘72, here are the remaining questions:
How many more lives will be wasted?
How much more treasure and equipment will be wasted?
When will the US learn that proxy wars are losing propositions because they are political in nature, and not being fought to ensure the survival of the USA?
How does this new buffer zone hurt the USA?

CNN did a brutally honest segment, pointing out that the war is virtually over for Ukraine.

"It is just truly incredible how ignorant freepers have bought into the lies of CNN, Hillary, and Biden."

I think MarMema said it clearly.

Why is CNN a reliable source only when it agrees with the pro Russian point of view?

Unfortunately this was the outcome that was going to occur no matter how many men Ukrainians sacrificed. Apparently the USA wanted at least 500k dead before we might start thinking.

U.S. and European officials have begun quietly talking to the Ukrainian government about what possible peace negotiations with Russia might entail to end the war, according to one current senior U.S. official and one former senior U.S. official familiar with the discussions.

US Officials: "I know we refused to allow negotiation before the war but now that the congress won't give us any more money to skim our cut from we think it's time to destroy the evidence and start negotiating"

Afghanistan received 39 Billion in US Foreign aid from 2001-2022

The Ukraine has been awarded 113 Billion in foreign aid by congress since spring of 2022.

https://www.csis.org/analysis/past-present-and-future-us-assistance-ukraine-deep-dive-data

Now there's talk of another 39 Billion in the works. And for this unprecedented stripping of the US treasury, the Ukraine is falling, as all knew it would. Very little  of our tax payer money ever went to the Ukrainian war effort - skimming off funds at every level, 'officials' got rich.

Nowadays Brandon is working on the stack for the great grandchildren.
He knows whoever dies with the biggest stash wins. And he’s determined to win.

You forgot the sarcasm tag. CNN is just as liberal and full of nonsense as it ever was.

CNN and Time, as arms of the Democratic Party, are protecting the Biden admin and covering their strategic mistakes. It will be blame Ukraine 24/7/365 during 2024 election season.

How many more Ukrainians must die lest their nation perish from this earth again?
How many more thousands of Russian speakers will Tin Pot Tsar Putin murder in his latest colonialist war of choice?
How many more Ukrainian cities will be genocidally erased by invading Russian Nazis?
How many more elections must populists lose before they understand that America Alone isolationism and Making Russia Great Again are electoral and economic dead ends for American patriots?

But they're the Left's water-carriers though. If they're reporting it, it's TRUE.

I guess you also believe President Trump colluded with the Russians to win the election in 2016.

That's a silly non-sequitur.

Despite the nonstop propaganda proliferated by multiple sources of news and constantly repeated by a few here... this outcome has been obvious to anyone with half a brain for months.

I think before a shot was fired you had to know that Ukraine wasn't going to win. They would be lucky not to lose the whole country. By shear size Russia was going to take at least what they have now. I'm nobody and I could see that.

But here's a question. Prior to the 2016 election we were friendly with Russia. Obama had Putin give Judo demonstrations at the White House. Had Clinton and the deep state not come up with the Russian interference lie against President Trump would Ukraine even be in this situation?

It seems to me that that the deep state bought its own BS. Considered Russia a far greater threat than they really were. Which made negotiations that may have averted a war impossible from the get go.

Further had we come up with an amicable deal with Russia before they lost lives. Would they have been so keen on jumping into bed with China and Iran? Without the cozy Russia relationship would Iran have given the green light for Hanas to launch their terrorist attack?

Thank you. You have made very good observations and come to very astute and accurate conclusions. 100s of thousands of people have been killed and maimed; millions have been forced to flee for their lives; the future has been altered for the worse; and we are now closer to a catastrophic nuclear war than we were at any time in the past. And it is all due to lies, stupidity, and the most ham-handed foreign policy imaginable.
