Elon Musk Slammed For Russia-Friendly Proposal To End War In Ukraine
Forbes ^ | 10/3/2022 | Derek Saul

Posted on 10/03/2022 1:16:21 PM PDT by marcusmaximus

The world’s wealthiest man Elon Musk faced sharp backlash Monday afternoon after sharing his thoughts on how to end Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on terms far more amenable to Russia than the Western consensus, continuing to opine about global politics on the heels of bad corporate news closer to home.

-snip-

Musk’s controversial foreign policy proposal came as Tesla shares cratered 9% in Monday trading, hitting a three-month low as the market reacted poorly to third quarter vehicle deliveries falling short of estimates.

He exposed the Uke nazis for exactly what they are. The aggressors in this whole mess. And you expose yourself yet again as a 13 year old girl with a meme SPAM attack. LOL

Why stop foreign wars now? Our national debt is only $31,000,000,000,000.

We should keep fighting foreign wars until debt exceeds $100,000,000,000,000.

What’s a few Trillions here or there? /S

Will Putin’s VDV surrounded in Davydiv Brid fight to the death as ordered or will they surrender and face 15 years in a Russian prison?

Russia always has a habit of screwing their VDV. Why is it?

If Elon’s plan would result in an end to the war I would be for it.

So your point is that if some territory was purchased by some country no matter how long time ago and no matter how much historical events (wars, new country formations happened since), then anyone claiming to be an “inheritor” deserve to claim their rights on the said territory. According to your logic, modern Russian Federation is the same country as Soviet Union, which was the same country as Tsarist Russian Empire. Dare I remind you that those three countries exist(ed) at different times, had entirely different social, political economic, demographical and yes, vastly different territorial setups. To equate them and make grievances based on history is a sure recipe for disaster we observe today. And that puts you personally on the same level with Putin as it was one of his justifications for Crimea annexation. Congratulations!
P.S. Good luck to Putin with saber rattling over Alaska...

“Controversial proposal?” Objective journalism is gone daddy gone.”

There is no solution that will please everyone, the best we can hope for is an agreement that both players are equally dissatisfied with.
Musk's proposal is a good one and therefore has no chance.

I agree with the poster who says Elon’s proposal makes too much sense to be implemented.

It is as much a civil war as not one. They were all part of the Soviet Union for something like 70 years and a significant number of citizens are Russian, etc. Some of the areas in question are Russian-majority.

Anyway, I think this is an internal matter for Russia and Ukraine to resolve, none of our business, definitely not worth a penny or any of our resources. Yes, I know we've apparently stirred it up to hurt Russia, to distract from US homeland issues, etc. But it is wrong.

A quick question, from a glance at your posts I gather you are a propagandist for Ukraine? Paid or volunteer? I didn’t read far enough back but as a Ukraine propagandist, I presume you also are an open or closeted Biden and Harris supporter?

What do you mean Musk is compromised. Are you inferring the Russians have something on him?

Might as well see if we can crank it up and become the world’s first quadrillion dollar debtor nation.

No it isn’t. There are fundamental flaws with his suggestion not least that it replicates all of the “rewarding bad behaviour” problems of the first Minsk agreement.

A referendum sounds good in theory but again sticking to the region i know best, Zaporizhzhia:

It had 1.7 million elegible citizens in January, half of them are displaced. In their place you have about 24,000 temporary Russian residents who voted. 800,000 settled in Ukrainian territory didn’t get a vote.

“People living in” Zaporizhzhia Oblast therefore excludes over a million lifelong regional residents but gives a bunch of Russkies squatting in the Russian held area a vite instead.

That’s what Musk’s proposal didn’t resolve.

The only right pathway for rederenda is to demilitarize the Oblasts, secure a lasting armistice, and give everyone who fled the Russian held territory a fair chance at returning to their homes.

That could take a year.,. Our Ukrainian refugees with kids here have six month leases jobs, and school started only last month. And some of their homes are bombed out. So jumping on a plane tomorrow isn’t realistic.

He’s the only sane person on the world stage.

Others are talking about how a nuclear war is “win-able”

If they are happy with that border it works for me. Kalingrad; Split between Poland and Lithuania sounds good! (They will not be asking me...or anyone else on this thread) to resolve this issue.
