Or what? (From his point of view)

Putin's point of view is the only one you have ever given any credence. You have never, in any of your postings, conceded Ukraine the slightest benefit, or cut Zelensky any slack. Nor have you ever attempted to portray things from the P.O.V. of Western Europe or the United States. In fact, you are now actively taking issue with President Trump's sincere cease-fire proposal.

Whose side are you on, anyway?

(Claiming that you are a "realist" is a cop-out. In your case, it is the "last refuge of scoundrels," to paraphrase Samuel Johnson.)

Regards,

I’m not taking issue with anything

Explain to me why Putin would agree to this cease fire plan from his point of view

All it does is give Ukraine a pause to rearm and rebuild military when the line of combat is being pushed further and further west every day and that pace has been increasing the past 2 weeks

This post and the two before it were addressed by you to three people, but it is worded in a way that indicates you are speaking to only one. I was not even aware of this thread... Then I saw the previous two posts that you made also addressed to the same three people, two of whom had not even been participating in the discussion. You call all of us "Putin-supporters". And you further say that we are "always 100% in agreement with the Kremlin line."

I do not know the positions of the other two people as well as I know yours. You are certainly aware since we have been corresponding for years... that I have never said anything positive in this forum about Putin or been "100% in agreement with the Kremlin line."

You are well aware that I do not agree with the way Biden and company wasted $Hundreds of Billions on this disastrous situation in Ukraine. You are labeling anyone who does not agree with the development of this disaster, “Pro-Putin”.

One of the people who has been most critical of this foreign policy disaster has been President Trump. Your stupidity in these three posts crosses a line into outright libel especially as it relates to President Trump. It is certainly not the type of gentlemanly behavior that I expect from you. These repeated written statements have unjustly diminished my reputation in this forum which I have been participating in for over 20 years. You have written accusations that you know to be false. You should be ashamed!
