Before the Alaska summit, President Trump had promised harsher sanctions in the event a cease-fire deal wasn't struck. He then backed away.

It's time to turn the screws.

Maybe he’ll give Putin another phone call.

Latest from Putin: “The Russians want about 6,000 square kilometers that they have not yet conquered through military force. That’s what the Russians want. The Ukrainians, on the flip side, want security guarantees, whether from Europeans or somebody else,” the US Vice President stressed.”

Putin would very much like to whack the USA and its stock market by having the US upset China with secondary sanctions and then having China cut off Walmart, Amazon and most US manufacturers dependent on Chinese inputs.

Trump needs to back off the sanctions talk and remove the sanctions on India. The USA shouldn’t have most of the world upset with us. India is more important than Ukraine.

Ten Ukrainian working-age refugees could finance a mercenary from the USA or EU.

The way some people on FR post articles and attack other Freepers, an ample supply of hand grenades and RPGs would get Zelensky close to Moscow.

Face it, there are no more sanctions to be had.

Your pal FJB and his DC globalists tried literally everything they could. Even having Coca Cola and McDonalds sell all their franchises, blowing up Germany’s gas pipelines, and confiscating yachts from out-of-favor Russian oligarchs in the Mediterranean.

The only thing left is for the EU and USA to cut off their own arm, and bleed on them to try and make them dirty. Either that, or go to war directly.

will Donald Trump do that?

The Russian news service TASS:

Poland shot down three out of the 19 drones that entered its airspace, Prime Minister Donald Tusk said.

According to him, violations of Poland’s air borders persisted throughout the night, from 11:30 p.m. local time on September 9 to 6:30 a.m. local time on September 10

Belarusian air defenses tracked unmanned aerial vehicles entering the country’s airspace last night and shot some of them down, said Pavel Muraveiko, chief of the Belarusian General Staff.

Ukrainian Partisans and Neoconservatives will wake up one day and realize Trump has been playing them.

This never needed to occur. Shame that we purposely provoked Russia into invading Russia in order to foment a proxy war with Russia. A major geopolitical blunder.

But calmer heads need to exhibit cooler calm heads, instead of rush into an armed conflict with another nuclear power, because there are still a lot of unknowns that still exist as to what really caused this incursion. For the cowboys on this board, no, it most likely was not done on purpose. Conflicts, in many cases, have accidental unintended incursions. Knee-jerk reactions often accomplish nothing except to escalate the conflicts into something even greater, & worse.

There hasn’t even been any confirmation that those drones were even launched by the Russians. This incident reminds me of the many times a white man has been blamed for the murder of a black man before all the facts are on the table. The media runs with unproven propaganda all the time. I want cold, hard evidence before WWIII is started over this $hit. It’s like the allegation that Russia cut its own Nord Stream pipeline. Can saner minds gather the facts and give us the truth?

Total withdrawal from NATO and the UN, please.

NATO should have dissolved when the Warsaw Pact did.

So CIA enters Russia and flies drones into Poland. This is a black flag if ever there was one.

Does anyone really believe that Putin wants war with NATO?

BONKERS

The trouble with never ending Russia war mongering is that they eventually run out of people.
