Starman417: "I don't necessarily agree with Sachs about Israel, but it's a great video about the Ukraine conflict."

For the same reasons that you don't agree with Sachs about Israel, those are reasons you should not agree with him about Ukraine -- he is not trustworthy, period.

from the article: "The war in Ukraine is at a stalemate and has been for almost three years, except that Russia seems to be gaining ground more and more quickly.
Things are not going well for Ukraine.
It's a lot worse than the media is portraying."

All that kind of talk is lies and nonsense and only means that Sachs has been drinking down the Russian propaganda Kool-Aid.

The reality is that both sides are hurting badly, and Russians attacks are down by around 25% so far this year.
Russians have not gained significant new ground since 2022.

Even for someone pro-Ukraine, we should not promote sheer nonsense. Russia is in a frontal war with Ukraine and NATO. It changed from a decapitation / blitzkrieg in February 2022, to front-line positional war / trench warfare in April 2022. Russia is in the process of destroying Ukraine's (second) army, removing all productive and war-making power from the whole of Ukraine, and eliminating NATO weapons.

Russia still relies completely on volunteers to fight this war. It has not been forced into conscription. It is not hurting badly

Promoting the lies you have for the purpose of continuing this globalist/EU/neocon inspired slaughter is immoral

The real take away is that democrats disastrously play politics with foreign policy. They get a LOT of people killed, turn whole regions over to our enemies, and they sleep fine at night because they are scumbags.

A short list of their disasters: Afghanistan, Iran, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Ukraine, Brazil, Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Saudi Arabia. If they’d been in power we’d still have the Soviet Union.

Ukraine has reached the same point as the German Imperial Army in 1918. They’re still (mostly) holding on. The troops haven’t totally surrendered across the line, but that might be just around the corner. Time to cut a deal.
