“Has land for peace ever worked”

Worked fine for Israel, when the gave the Sinai to Egypt, and they’ve been at peace for over 40 years now.

He doesn’t want the whole damn country. And it won’t be the first time a country has given up a piece. Just look at the entire region. Pretty different from their beginnings.

Those who trade land for peace end up with neither.

Kissinger is a realist and knows the longer this war goes on te more land Ukraine is likely to lose, leaving them a rump state minus a coastline on the Black Sea. And if NATO were to intervene, the odds of a tactical nuke being employed is very high. That leaves a negotiated settlement as the best option at this point.

Why not give Germany to the Russians as well.Is he Nuts?Does he really think that Russia will stop its aggression once its has part of Ukraine? Hitler didn’t and he conquered Poland and Czechoslovakia and he still attacked Russia.

Biden, NATO, Russia, Ukraine, Somalia and the Globalists w/Robert Barnes

Fascinating discussion of the war and how support for it is beginning to crumble. The Deep State needs a quick exit or is going to be faced with humiliating defeat (which is why Kissinger is calling for finding an exit ramp.)

Ukrainian Ambassador to the U.S. Oksana Markarova: “Peace at any cost is not in anyone’s interest, because it’s not possible."

This is true.

The counter-argument is that it is in everybody's (even Russia's) interest for Putin not to find himself in a position where he could save himself personally only by using tactical nukes.

But Markarova's statement is still true: peace through weakness doesn't work.

Most people are moving past Ukraine. Bigger fish to fry and all, and Russia won’t attack a NATO country.

Economy bigger priority than punishing Russia: AP poll

Kissinger is stuck in the time warp of 1600-2000 Europe. Unfortunately the world has changed. There is no need for a “balance of power” in Europe because everyone is on the same side now except Russia. And Russia will never be a part of Europe as long as Putin is in charge. Indeed, 8 years of Yeltsin was not enough to sway Russia away from the czarist and Soviet mentality.

The real long term threat today is China, not Russia. Russia is a failed oil kleptocracy on its last legs (though alas armed with nukes). Russia brings nothing useful to China except oil. And Russia has nothing useful to offer Europe.

Ukraine needs to decide how much blood it is willing to shed. At this point all indications are that it will keep shedding until it recovers all its territory. But that will not be feasible indefinitely. Maybe sign an armistice as has been done many times in the middle east, and live to fight another day? Russia can claim victory with the added territory but it’s a hollow one as now the whole world knows that the emperor has no clothes, and his army is probably worse off than the chicoms.

The real balance of power is the free world vs. China and autocrats around the world. Not to mention the civilized world v. the Islamo fascists of many stripes, the NORKs, etc. France v. Germany went out in 1945, just as USA v. USSR went out in the 1990s. Nobody told Putin yet, and he refuses to accept it, and hence his last gasp.

Russia already has the territory it wants. Zelensky knows what his country is capable of fighting and holding. Both of them are continuing the fight because they both wants their own share of the spoils for "rebuilding", of which the US is gleefully donating forty effing billion dollars toward, probably with more to come if nobody stops them.

The effed up thing is that if the US just said "you know what, this is between y'all, we're not helping anything by putting a thumb on the scales any more, we're simply not going to participate." both the Ukraine and Russia would keep going, destroying the lives of their countrymen in the hope that it would get so bad that the UN, WEF, US, etc.. would just throw money at the problem until it stopped looking awful. Worse still, they're mostly right.
