“Thank you for the education on delusional “thinking”. It is difficult to understand the thought process of a person who blindly believes that the Biden administration is capable of formulating successful foreign policy.”
Too funny. You, as most of your fellow-travelers, assume facts not in evidence. I respect Ukraine for fighting to defend itself in an existential war in spite of who our president is, or who Ukraine’s president is.
“Your incoherent parroting does shine a little light on your condition.”
What parroting, Sparky?
“Do you identify more with the faux intellectual Niles or the faux intellectual Fraser?”
Neither. But I bet you do.
“Now that the corrupt regime in Ukraine is obviously on the ropes even to you... we find you changing the definition of ‘winning.’”
You must be new to these Russo-Ukrainian war threads, because I said from the very beginning that Ukraine would win by not losing. Ukraine has no intent or desire or chance to invade and conquer Russia; so, if Ukraine stops Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, it wins. But, logic appears to be an alien concept to you.
“The people who have the most to gain by dragging this out are the Russians.”
Wrong. China stands to gain the most.
“The longer they take to wrap this up, the more money they make from their exports while Western European economies and our own are driven further toward a deep recession or worse.”
Russia is forced to sell its exports at a serious discount; that’s hardly an economic boon to Russia. Also, Russia’s technology has been degraded because of the sanctions imposed precluding IT components from going to Russia.
You sound very young; so, your ignorance is perhaps understandable and perhaps even forgivable.
Russia is forced to sell its exports at a serious discount; that's hardly an economic boon to Russia. That would be nice if it was true, unfortunately it is not. The problem is that games are being played. Just one example... instead of getting less than $50 a barrel for their crude they have actually been getting over $80 a barrel using under the table dealing. The same is true of all of their exports. Why? Because countries representing 90% of the world's population are ignoring all of the sanctions, and even our own European “allies” have been cheating left and right.

And their trading partners have also completely ignored restrictions on their technology exports to Russia. The fact that you believe the propaganda shows only that you are gullible and prone to believing whatever you are told by your greatest war time leader, Joe Biden and his administration. The rest of the world is laughing at him and us.
I said from the very beginning that Ukraine would win by not losing.
So you have believed from the very beginning that waiting out Russia, one of the most self-sufficient counties in the world with a long history of overcoming long sieges was how Ukraine would “win”? You must be a brilliant military strategist to have come up with that strategy!
You sound very young; so, your ignorance is perhaps understandable and perhaps even forgivable.
And you sound like you escaped from a skilled care facility which is about the only place one hears the derogatory term “Sparky” from the residents. As one who is in obvious cognitive decline your ignorance is definitely understandable and forgivable. But we have both been posting here for around 20 years. I have been retired for much of that time. Fortunately, my mental capacity seems to be holding up.
Hey ought-six it looks like you missed a turn.
