Just like the France in June 1940? How'd that work out?

The French made the correct decision declaring Paris an open city in 1940. France survived as a state and escaped WW2 mostly unscathed, unlike large portions of central and eastern Europe.

The one good thing about France falling, is that it saved Europe from a complete Bolshevik takeover, because had the British, French and German armies had all been bled dry by another WWI war of attrition, it would have been easy pickings for the Red Army.

Really?

Really?

Just wow. So that's how you justify surrender? Better red than dead?

So you're saying that the Nazi defeat of France in June 1940 was actually a good thing?

Because others, US, Brits, Russians, etc continued to fight.

More of a silver lining.

Stalin signed the Non-Aggression pact hoping for that outcome. He had to know the Nazis were coming for him after that. He figured he had until 1943 to have the Red Army ready for an offensive war.

Well if you call having traitors like Pierre Laval “surviving”.

Yes.

I believe most Trump supporters want and pray for Peace. Putin stop his imperialistic invasion & return to Russia.

The mayor of Odessa has had enough and is calling for negotiations with Russia. He said, "the lives of millions of people are at stake." Dead Ukrainians aren't just a number to him.

It was the Odessa PM:

"Ukraine can’t fight ‘as long as it takes.’ That will be a catastrophe.”

A hard choice lies ahead in Ukraine, but only Ukrainians can make it

"Excuse me but it was constant when the Ukraine War started, for the Putin apologists to say I was a “paid Soros agent”.

You and members of your crew are explicitly posting and supporting his (and the leftist globalist oligarch/Derp State) political agenda on FR. This is anti-Conservative and in opposition to the mission of this website. This is the sole bone of contention here: Why are leftist warmongering globalists given such free reign on FR to spam, to attack, to malign and lie, as well as make death threats ? When we respond to debunk or criticize the globalist trolls, we are silenced. Again, something is very wrong here. If the mission of FR has changed and it is now actively endorsing the globalist position, which appears to be the case, a statement from JimRob should be made on the matter and explaining why the globalists are protected from criticism. It's his website, so we'd like to know if the rules and mission are being officially changed. I think it's a reasonable request.

You mean the guy who wrote THIS?

The path to peace in Ukraine runs directly through Putin’s red lines

The real danger lies in allowing Russia’s intimidation efforts to succeed. If the West remains too afraid of Putin to stop Russia in Ukraine, the consequences for international security will be grave. Russia will be emboldened and will expand its international aggression, with likely initial targets including Moldova, Kazakhstan, and potentially the NATO member Baltic states. Other authoritarian regimes will take note of Russia’s success and will employ similar tactics. Nuclear blackmail will become an increasingly prominent foreign policy tool, leading to an arms race as dozens of threatened nations scramble to acquire nuclear weapons of their own.

The only way to prevent the world from descending into a dangerous new era of instability is by confronting Russia decisively in Ukraine. This will require considerable political courage on the part of Ukraine’s Western partners. Western leaders must overcome their fear of escalation and provide Ukraine with the tools to stop Putin. The Russian dictator has demonstrated time and again that he only understands the language of strength and will back down when confronted. This confrontation can no longer be avoided. The longer the West waits, the higher the price will become of stopping Putin.

Who appointed you as the forum police? The site owner doesn’t owe you anything.

But you fellas support the Nazi-supported regime in The Ukraine. Are you saying Nazis marching in the Parisian streets is a good thing ? Your mental gymnastics in defending your positions is something to behold.

Asking for an explicit statement and clarification from the site owner, because there has been considerable confusion now for over a year in standards and practices, which goes against the stated mission of this website established in 1997.

I’m not asking just for myself, but for everyone involved, and that includes your side. He sets the rules. If the globalist agenda is now given free reign, as it appears it does, we deserve to know and have it officially acknowledged.
