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

Startlingly, even Biden flacks..... Kirby, Miller and Blinken.....
are questioning whether we should continue US billions in aid to flopola Ukraine.

Especially since American taxpayers have had it w/ their tax dollars financing corrupt Ukraine.

I preface my comments by saying, IF this story is true.

What would Russia want to end the war, based on this story, Russia is in control what the terms of ending this war will be.

I would think, Zelensky has to go, let him take his millions he’s scraped off the top of American aid and fly off to some location and stay in exile.

Ukraine would have to pledge to never join NATO.

Considering nearly every agreement between Russia, the EU and the USA has been broken any agreement to end the war would have to have some pretty concrete guarantees between the warring parties.

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. My assumption is that the left realizes that if it doesn't begin pivoting now that this situation will annihilate their chances of even cheating their way to victory in the next election. So of course, CNN is leading the way.

The Democrats have had nearly 100% compliance when it comes to supporting this foreign policy boondoggle. That means that virtually all of them have egg on their faces. But they are all basically rudderless tools so by the time the real electioneering begins next year they will be insisting that all of the death, destruction, massive waste of taxpayer funds, and the destruction of Western economies was the fault of Republicans and the right.

And they will point to the brainless neocons who will no doubt still be calling for more of the same and providing the Dems with cover.

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?
