Is the World Weary of War in Ukraine?
American Conservative ^ | 9/1/2022 | Ted Snider

Posted on 09/01/2022 8:52:41 AM PDT by whyilovetexas111

The ships laden with grain recently leaving the ports of Ukraine might be taken to suggest that those who doubted it was possible for Ukraine and Russia to negotiate had been wrong. But with the exception of a brief meeting between U.N. Secretary General António Guterres, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky, there have been no recent diplomatic attempts to negotiate an end to the war.

Instead, the U.S. has consistently discouraged negotiations. U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson told Zelensky not to negotiate with Russia. In his dying days as prime minister, he repeated that call on August 24, saying that now was not the time to promote a “flimsy plan for negotiation” with Russia.

Yes, MSM reports so, I guess. But Z-man ain’t far behind. He is disgusting.

Putin’s army is marching nowhere. They are facing a crushing defeat at the hands of brave Ukrainian citizen soldiers. The war will end Russia as a great power and her oil resources will go to Ukraine to pay reparations for all war crimes. Putin will be hanged at the end and a greater Ukraine born. It will not be long now—just a few weeks, a month or two is all. Keep sending Billions and weapons.

LOL, as if any objective facts that don’t agree with your preferred narrative must be from the “MSM”. Righty-O.

Precisely my point, I don’t care about either country.

Believe what you want. Hate Ruzzia all you want. I don’t care and I don’t support your narrative. Free country. Free Republic.

Fair enough, only Romania is in.
Either way, it doesn’t negate the point that they can’t even take more of the Ukraine than some of the East. You act like they’re ready to form the Soviet Union again.
I don’t care if Putin wants to, he doesn’t have the means.

Russian demographics are crap. Demographics is destiny.

No.

We are willing to sacrifice until every last Ukrainian is dead, remember?

“There’s a handful of FReepers that want to extend and expand it…”

Indeed. I noticed that too. They are the same people that breathlessly posted about, and supported, the draconian COVID lockdowns and clot shots. Now it’s the war in Ukraine. Suspect these people have no jobs, no hobbies, no friends and no life, so they spend their days blogging while laying on the sofa, eat potato chips and watch reality tv shows. Nevermind that people are suffering and dying. It’s just entertainment for them.

Pathetic.

I hope the war ends soon. I’m tired of the US playing world police.
That $50 billion could of truly helped a lot of our Veterans that deserve it…

Maybe the Ukrainians have enough dirt on Biden to keep going as long as they want.

“Is the World Weary of War in Ukraine?”

No, but Russia is.

On August 5, 2022 JonPreston put up the following post about me on this topic here:

Alphas like me are the real men. In contrast are you Beta males: weak, submissive, subordinate guys who are low status, eager to follow trends. This explains your attempt at stolen military valor that I’ve documented thoroughly. Please go away, and stop reporting me to the mods when I expose your neoconservativism!

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

He claims to have ‘thoroughly documented’ my alleged “attempt at stolen military valor” and I have repeatedly challenged him to publicly publish this claimed documentation of his or to publicly issue a retraction.

Is JonPreston a liar? Is he a braggart? Is he a troll?

Ask him for his ‘thorough documentation’ and then you be the judge.

All #NeverTrumpers and Neocons who support Biden's warped foreign policy.

[Hmm, Putin already outlawed his opposition and I’m sure his Swiss bank accounts are well over a billion in loot stolen from Russians by now.]

“Who else would support Biden?”

Opposing Russia’s invasion ≠ supporting Biden, but since that doesn’t fit your lying narrative, you’ll pretend you can’t comprehend that kind of simple logic, I’m sure.

“Hate Ruzzia all you want.”

I don’t hate Russia. I hate the communist dictator Vladimir Putin, and his complicit stooges and underlings, and those who support him and his despicable regime. The Russian people and Russian nation are just more of his victims, just like the Ukrainians.

“they can’t even take more of the Ukraine than some of the East”

So far they can’t, thankfully, and probably mostly due to Western support for Ukraine.

“You act like they’re ready to form the Soviet Union again.”

They’ve certainly shown themselves desiring to reclaim their former Soviet territories. It’s been one of Putins’ more consistent policy goals, demonstrated in practice over and over for the last 2 decades or so.

“I don’t care if Putin wants to, he doesn’t have the means.”

I’ll agree with you that he almost certainly can’t succeed, but that doesn’t mean he can’t cause a gigantic amount of suffering in his attempts.
