Ambitious State Dept. clown-asses wanted to “”Versailles” Russia and Nuremburg their leadership.

These people are human $**t. So are FReepers who stand with them.

--- "Was “winning” ever the goal?"

Gen. Milley on Ukraine, Tuberville and ‘wokeness’ Analysis by Leigh Ann Caldwell and Theodoric Meyer Washington Post 18 August 2023

That depends on what you mean by the word ‘win.’

“For Ukraine, this is an existential fight. It’s a fight for survival. But for the rest of Europe and for the rest of the world, really, for the United States, it’s about those rules, to make sure those rules stay in place. What Putin has done is a frontal assault on those rules of the international order that have been in existence now for eight decades since the end of World War II.

If the end state is Ukraine is a free, independent sovereign country with its territory intact, that will take a considerable level of effort yet to come. And You can achieve those objectives through military means. That’s gonna take a long, long time, but you can also achieve those objectives maybe possibly, through some sort of diplomatic means.”

With all due respect, Joe, the big guy, does not have a monopoly on this concept.

He's just carried (milked) it further along than most (most goes back decades).

(that “the Ukrainian offense was not going to work,“)

Yeah, that one was beyond obvious.

(The vast majority of those that took Biden’s clot shots tell me they wish they never did. I know more than a dozen killed by the vax’s,)

I tried to warn many around me.

I don’t think Blinkin could figure out a fortune cookie without his chicom masters telling him.

The Ukies are also making gains around Bakmut. Thank you bringing that to my attention.
