“There will be no reconquest of Crimea and Donbass.”

This sentence betrays his Russian allegiance. “reconquest”? When did Ukraine do the first “conquest”

“The problem is that Ukraine seems to be a vital financial interest of the globalist corruptocrats”

And to Putin, He wants the natural resources of eastern Ukraine. No blood for oil Pootie..

I have had Duma members tell me they would be willing to die in a nuclear war, if it also meant the destruction of the United States.

Perhaps you could tell these Duma members that Ukrainians will decide how to respond to their invaders, and that the United States will gladly send them to their graves if that is their wish.

Do you see any insurgency so far? The only insurgency I see is pro-Russian.

They [Russia] will do whatever it takes to win.

“In Ukraine, a Bad Peace Is Better Than a Good War”

Oh PLEASE, if we don’t get a nuclear war out of this, what’s the point of even having nuclear weapons?

Ok Bagdad Bob;

“You bring up a great point, Why haven’t the Russians attacked Infrastructure? That should have been the first to go. Then wait 10-14 days BEFORE invading. Something is odd.”

It’s not a typical war, and Russia never referred to it as a war. The idea WAS to put pressure on Ukraine to quickly agree to a settlement and then live in peace. That was vetoed by the Neocons and the Leftists in Europe, so it’s going to get uglier for Ukraine, far uglier.

We decided we wanted to put all our resources into becoming an Asian land power exactly when and for what purpose? Given our geostrategic position in the world why would THAT be in our national interest?

Sure, invading Russian troops were welcome in Kherson, with Ukrainian flags.

Another mindless retort from a Poot pet.

Thanks for your “input.”

Compare this small astroturf demonstration to the 9th May celebrations.

A peace that leaves Ukraine independent with free speech but neutral in foreign policy (no Biden/EU control) would be a good peace. Neither party would get it all.

Really? You haven’t been paying attention for about the last 20 years.

"They're not even [within] 100 miles [of Baghdad]. They are not in any place. They hold no place in Iraq. This is an illusion ... they are trying to sell to the others an illusion."

“I have a different perspective. As I see it, the end result is likely to be that Russia becomes more Asian than European.”

Yep, we had a choice, either bring Russia into our orbit, on their terms, which meant that they could continue to do what’s best for the Russian people, rather than on the terms of Neocons, Globalists, and Greens. Europe couldn’t agree to those terms, as they feel it their right to run the world, and if Putin wouldn’t answer to them, they’d make him pay.

As it was, if Europe was to get anywhere close to reducing their carbon-energy usage by anything close to their 90% goal over the next 10 to 20 years, than Russian gas exports to Europe will nearly dry up. So Russia has to turn to Asia and other countries, regardless.

What this insane reaction by the West has done is greatly accelerate this move, and will now make it encompass much more than just energy. But the neocons don’t care, since they’ve gotten the war they needed to replace Afghanistan.
