"Retired four-star US army Gen. Jack Keane said Sunday he believes Ukrainians have a good chance of defeating Russia — while claiming the White House has been encouraging Ukraine to “make a deal’’ with Moscow to end the war......
....Keane added that an “excellent source” told him President Biden’s administration has been encouraging Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to “make a deal” with the Russians, which he called “shameful.” His claim has not been independently verified.......

“It’s disgraceful to have this many Russia lovers on a supposedly pro American site. And it’s driving away people.”
Actually, what is disgraceful is the number of Americans picking sides instead of maintaining a neutral position.
“Rah Rah Warfare”
I'm serious.
We didn't get the switching built in at the appropriate age.
The president of our university was in his early 50s and a computer technology buff.
He couldn't quite wrap his head around how the things worked, though.
He had the IT director of the entire multi-city, multi-state university on personal call for when he messed up his home PC or the Internet connection - which happened several times a week.
Saw it a lot in the upper levels of the university - department heads, deans, etc.
You get to a certain position in the organization, you have "people" to deal with those threatening electronic devices.
This age of ascension within the org is usually before your mind is still flexible enough to learn what the youngsters live and breathe from their youth. Besides - you have more important "leadery" things to do. The help will take care of it.
Especially when none of us know what is really going on ...
I thought they already won
Obviously, a deal should be made.
Presumably, it will include guarantees that Ukraine won’t try to take Crimea or the separatist parts of Donbass militarily and Russia won’t try to take the rest of Ukraine miltarily.
It will also say Yes to Ukraine in the EU and No to Ukraine in NATO.
It should include reparations for Ukraine from Russia in the form of a share of profits from natural gas using Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 pipelines.
“ the goal is to send Ukraine into the meat-grinder to occupy Russia in a destructive, long-term, low-level insoluble war.”
Kind of like Iran-Iraq war then.
I’ll have to think on that. I may actually be in favor of that outcome.

Five Reasons Which Make Cryptocurrency a Bad Investment

As far as I have seen through the years, General Keane is never right about anything.
Their Ruble can be worth more than gold and it means very little if they have no place to use it.
Glenn was a democrat...the definition of trash.
You mean like Trump? He wanted to form an alliance with Russia against radical Islam and China. But noooooo! Biden had to go and wreck Trump's progress with Russia, the Arabs, India, and just about everyone else, while trying to hand Iran nukes again, and sowing the seeds of dollar destruction. Is Putin a nice guy? No f-ing way. But neither are the Saudis. So what? Our president's job is to do what is in OUR interest. Not the Biden family or Democrat party.
As for crypto, buyer beware. But I've been in it for a long time and see rosy paths ahead.
If so, why are they so eager to get to the negotiating table and give Russia what they want?
You may want to check out General Keane’s resume.
He's "of a certain age", as we delicately put it in information technology.
Keane is just one of thousands of examples of why, when you leave government service, you are stripped of your security clearances. This clown was a general. One of the highest clearances you can get.
Good to have attack dogs, but they need to be kept on their chains.
I agree completely with your post #32.
Exactly right.
“ Yes, let them win the war so they can finish the job of ethnically cleansing eastern Ukraine …”
But but but Putin is “Hitler”!
The more I see Ukraine business, the more I am furious we are entangled with them in any shape or form whatsoever!

Like "Oddball" when his tank broke down.
I'm a retired Senior Technician/ Program & Project Manager. From 1983, I was one of the guys maintaining the National Science Foundation - World Wide Web access. We actually used a breakout box from the MCI facility in Atlanta to play "Hunt the Wumpus" on the Georgia Tech Computer. As the years went by we were totally immersed eventually in every Layer of the OSI model.
ITT, Sprint, MCI and Verizon spent un-calculable hundreds of thousands of dollars keeping me up to date on new technology.
I'll never forget my first Manager at MCI had been a Marine DI. He was a manager, not a technician. Even at MCI there were very few technicians that moved up to the top. We had one Vice President that had been an Air Force Tech Controller the same as me, but everyone understood that he remembered only enough to get himself in trouble.
