Why does Austin want a cease-fire?
“We are winning” in Ukraine right?
Just think how many here are going to get shocked when Russia ends up landlocked, rump state.
Restore the grand duchy of Muscovy!

How is that going to happen? lol
The real question, why would you believe Biden regime narrative about this war when it lies about everything else?
Moscow didn’t pick up. It was a repeat of Biden’s failed call to Saudi Arabia begging for oil?
I don’t listen to Biden about anything. This guy says one thing and another guy says the opposite. We believe what we want to believe.
The only fact I care about is Russia invaded a sovereign country. If it was the other way around, I would be pulling for Russia
I would imagine Austin does not call if he thinks Ukraine is winning
Russia’s currency is up over 60% against the U.S. dollars.
It could implode upon itself.
Whatever Austin is selling, Shoigu isn’t buying...the Russians probably got tired of hearing the phone ring.
“The only fact I care about is Russia invaded a sovereign country. If it was the other way around, I would be pulling for Russia”
Life’s so simple for people who dig as deep as you do...
It's up from about 0.013 prewar to 0.015 now. That's at most a 15% increase. To claim a bigger increase requires cherry picking an early March low when the Ruble was under trading pressure. Those lows did not last long. Chart: https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/RUBUSD/

The purpose of the cease fire is to allow the heavy weapony, all stuck in the far west of Ukraine (the part that Poland will be taking) and they are simply UNABLE to move it to the combat zones without getting decimated. Austin, of course, won’t say that, but Russia knows the game...so he’s wasting his time.
I agree with Lira, those Ukrainian soldiers are dying for nothing - or rather they are dying to further the interest of the US at this point, not Ukraine. Ukraine is in shambles and will never return to it’s former state. And the longer it goes on, the more lives that will be lost. (and the more territory that will be lost.) That is the simple reality.
When Boris Johnson visited Zelensky last week, it was said Zelensky raised the possibility of seriously negotiating the end of this with Russia, and was told by BoJo that no, under no circumstances will he be allowed to do that, that neither the US or UK would allow it. It is frankly totally immoral we are using them as cannon fodder to promote our own interests. Those supporting the continuation of this war are evil (or in the case of many freepers, just flat out stupid).
“It’s up from about 0.013 prewar to 0.015 now. That’s at most a 15% increase. To claim a bigger increase requires cherry picking an early March low when the Ruble was under trading pressure.”
You are correct, of course, but picking early March has merit, as that was when a certain airhead declared the currency to be “Rubble”.
No, Biden clearly said that he is dumping Russia back into the 19th century.
He did not give exact date, but assuming middle of 19th century the plan is to stop Russia from getting Lvov, and give them Warsaw, Finland, Alaska and parts of California instead. :P
sovereign? Really? Are you a successful citizen? Is Ukraine a sobriety state? Really? Ukraine was once part of Russia, and so it will be again. Khrushchev was born there, after all. And why do you care?
