I strongly suspect that the Bidenites and Neo-cons want the war to go on indefinitely, though it destroys Ukraine, embitters Russians, and causes mass starvation. They get to spend money on endless stupid nonsense, instead of letting Ukraine win decisively. Stalemates are money traps, which is why they like them. Ending the war would be simple: Drive down the price of oil by flooding the market. But since they won’t, the war will go on, the endless lavishing of Ukraine with new toys will accelerate, and if there’s a famine in Africa, they can act humane and send in a bunch of UN pedophiles to “help” Africans. Win/Win in their warped view.

I’ve seen those UN rape camps. You can smell them from miles away.

It is impossible to run a business in Russia without breaking the law. There are too many laws to comply with all of them. So bribes are required to run the business. This also makes in easy to prosecute anyone running a business.

The Dems love Endless wars of attrition. Withess Vietnam, whichi allowed Dem politicians to make billions of dollars supplying the military with often deffective military equipment and supply.

Its he same with the Deep State that enriches those connected
to it for military supply .

Meanwhile this lucre is supported at the cost of lives of our men and women in service, as well as their being maimed.Unconscionable.

Send in the USM to the Black Sewa and break the Russian Blockade, and open the Ukrainian ports to secure the world food supply. Make it like lightning. Then supply the Ukrainians with strategic air power,

Then we GTFO.

What else would you expect from Canadian public broadcasting? Another load of BS just like we see from our own PBS.

The US & NATO showed strength by doubling the number of countries right up to Russia’s doorstep over 20 years. And placing missiles in border countries to Russia. Putin clearly warned the West that the west aggression against Russia would not end well. Looks like he was right. Ask Zelensky how that worked out!

It’s still in process. It hasn’t “worked out”. I maintain that the process is being prolonged needlessly. But NATO doubling member countries in the East was a no-brainer. Russia would come back, as it has, and then it would have been able to invade its former satellites with impunity but for NATO membership. Ukraine is being tortured by the West for nefarious purposes. The torture consists of giving it enough weapons to continue to avoid being killed by a rabid bear, but the bear keeps coming because of high energy prices, which the west keeps exacerbating.

If you get a chance in between writing neocon 2000 times per day, please ask
yourself who could end this war any minute he wanted to without surrendering
his own nation. Only one man can do that, so let go of the fantasy.

And quit blaming the continuation of this war on anyone else.

It’s one of the many reasons why the UN is a travesty.

I haven’t seen these camps, but when I read Jeane Kirkpatrick’s book “Making War to Keep Peace” it was so clear that during the former Yugoslavia massacres the UN boss Butros Butros was gleeful and giddy because he was so happy that white people are finally getting killed en masse again.

You know me better than that. I get accused of being a neocon 2000 times a day. Putin will not end the war so long as he thinks he can win. Because he fancies himself Catherine the Great or Peter the Great, and believes he’s got Great after his own name somehow or other. I hold with his oldest enemy. He has to lose, get couped, and die.

“Mikhail Khodorkovsky was once the richest man in Russia until he challenged Vladimir Putin and was sent to jail for 10 years.”

Glad the Left in the US isn’t doing all they can to JAIL TRUMP, simply for being a president they didn’t like. Otherwise, I would have trouble defending the US.

Putin is much more of crook than Zelensky. Putin is probably more of a crook than Khodorkovsky, but Khodorkovsky probably isn’t far behind.

You stated that Biden and company and the neocons want the war to continue.

Didn’t you?

Do you really believe someone other than Putin is driving this war to continue?

He should cease hostility, pull his forces out and stop this nonsense.

Yes, nations who are invaded tend to fight enemies on their soil. Who knew?

Yes, Catherine the Great…. good one.

As for Biden, his spending in the Ukraine is so questionable you have to ask
yourself if he’s trying to send our nation over the fiscal edge.

Or rather if Obama is.
