ARIS/BERLIN/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Is it better to engage with Russian President Vladimir Putin over his invasion of Ukraine or to isolate him? Should Kyiv make concessions to end the war, or would that embolden the Kremlin? Are ramped up sanctions on Russia worth the collateral damage?
These are some of the questions testing the international alliance that swiftly rallied around Ukraine in the days after the Russian invasion but that, three months into the war, is straining, officials and diplomats told Reuters.
As Western governments grapple with spiralling inflation and energy costs, countries including Italy and Hungary have called for a quick ceasefire. That could pave the way for scaled back sanctions and end the blockade of Ukrainian ports that has worsened a food security crisis for the world's poorest.
Yet Ukraine, Poland and the Baltics warn that Russia is not to be trusted and say a ceasefire would enable it to consolidate territorial wins, regroup and launch more attacks down the line.

YOU ARE TOTALLY CORRECT.
The world has learned, what U.S. citizens have known, NOT to trust Biden!
IMO [little media coverage]
1a- Biden has continuously sabotaged Ukraine with unfulfilled financial military ‘promised’ support.
1b- Biden tried to lure President Zelensky to leave Ukraine for his personal safety.
1c- President Biden suggested Ukraine would have to cede part of its territory to Russia to end Putin’s invasion.
1d- The U.S. slow walks funds & military aid.
2a- I believe that the U.S. Military is in control of our government. The Pentagon has Biden on a short leash & will NOT comply with either Biden or actions of Congress.
2b- “While the Pentagon is happy to talk about the dollar values of the munitions and other military materiel it is sending to Ukraine by the planeload, other than Javelin tank-killer missiles, it won’t say what other lethal capabilities it’s providing.”
i.e. A three-way fighter-jet deal to bolster Ukraine’s defenses against Russia is dead.

QUESTIOB: Has the U.S. become a territory of China in a new world order? China buys U.S. farms, rent U.S. ports to obstruct & bottleneck the supply chain.
A pathetic end to a pack of lies for pure politics
Our cash and Arms
The blood of civilians all for not one damn thing worth prolonging this shit
Hope globalist are happy now
CHINESE INVOLVEMENT IN U.S.: Goods Movement and Supply Chains
GOODS MOVEMENT: Distribution of freight (including raw materials, parts and finished consumer products) by all modes of transportation including marine, air, rail and truck.
SUPPLY CHAINS: Group of human and physical entities: including procurement specialists, wholesalers, logistics managers, manufacturing plants, distribution centers and retail outlets, that are linked by information and transportation in a seamless, integrated network to supply goods or services from where it is produced to where it is consumed.

Biden advised Obama against the bin Laden operation.

When a high level Chinese official attempted to defect to a US consulate, Biden ordered the State Department to hand him back to the Chinese.
In a literal sense, Biden’s not technically acting against US interests at the behest of foreign powers. He’s doing things he’d be doing anyway. He’s just getting paid for it.

“understand is that the Democrat rhetoric about Russia was just posturing.”
I do understand. That is why I the political Biden-Putin coupling & betrayal of President Zelensky
TYPO
I do understand that the Democrat rhetoric is just posturing about Russia. any U.S. ally
BIDEN DESTRUCTION OF U.S. FOREIGN POLICY
That is why I stated the political Biden-Putin coupling/alliance became the U.S. betrayal for President Zelensky. Ultimately, U.S. allies have learned to NOT trust any U.S.commitments.
“When a high level Chinese official attempted to defect to a US consulate, Biden ordered the State Department to hand him back to the Chinese.”
Of course, Biden has no regard for anyone else except what is in his own personal BEST interest. THAT is Biden’s foreign policy.
Biden’s IS acting against U.S. interests at the behest of foreign powers. As well as getting paid for it. Under the leadership of Biden and his democrat administration we are beginning to witness societal collapse characterized by the loss of cultural identity, socioeconomic complexity, the downfall of government, and the rise of violence.
BIDEN IS DESTROYING U.S. CULTURE AND CIVIL SOCIETY. The United States of America as we have known it, no longer exists. CLOSING OIL LEASES
Point of fact, he may have returned one Chinese official pleading for sanctuary. Yet, Biden has allowed the highest illegal immigration.
Millions of Americans pay their taxes only to see Biden spending their tax money on: hotel stays, debit cards and cellphones for illegal migrants crossing the southern border. The president’s fiscal budget, presented in March cut funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement by 8%, despite expected surge in illegal immigration, while reducing detention beds! Biden’s increasing funding at 700% for non citizen alien processing and care with faster service with increasing flights and ground transportation.
The federal government for illegals is Catholic Charities’ receiving the largest source of funds, and the Jewish Family Service receiving its money mostly from Catholic Charities. This illegal immigration tangled mess funding that ALWAYS leads back to the US taxpayers.
“Russia has won this war in a walk.”
Then why is it ongoing?
Ukraine has resorted to drafting women so the end can’t be too far away IMO.
Source?
>>Biden is strangling the Ukrainians<<
>>>As I pointed out earlier - Burisma = Putin. Vladimir the Greater has Biden by the short and curlies.<<<
So Biden is actually doing Putins bidding?
Putards arent going to like that!
Ukraine. Is that still a thing?
Of course it is
The question was foolish
Putin has been very up front about this from day zero.
When allies are leaned on for your survival, your durvival is in their whimsical hands.
Fight it yourself the low tech way and let “allies”...special interests...supply you or not based on your own intentions.
Ukraine went for the teat....didn’t learn from continental congress/washington,..... vietnam, taliban, taliban again. They will lose if they don’t kick away the ally politicians.
“The big battle will be for Odessa.”
It is not in Russia’s national interest to stop before seizing the entire Black Sea coast of Ukraine.
Just to let you know there are several items in the news today showing the Ukrainians advancing and making some unexpected river crossings to attack Soviet positions.
The Soviet offensive is failing and the Ukrainians are retaking territory.
The Ukrainians are underestimating the Russian’s ability to locate Ukrainian concentrations by locating the origin of open and encrypted radio communications and other technologies.

That may be, but the big problem for ZSU is they have no answer for the Orc artillery Orlon-10 drone - this drone is how the majority of Orc artillery strikes happen and how the fire is corrected; this system is described in detail in Attack on Europe postings over the past months.
The other problem is the trickle of foreign weapons - the ZSU fires 3000-5000 shells a day and the Orcs fire back 50,000. The amount of aid the US is giving is announced in dollar terms which make the public turn against the effort. At no other time did the US announce it military aid to a country at war in dollars; the items needed were simply send on the fastest possible transport directly to the country concerned. They need thousands of artillery pieces and millions of shells - as well as dedicated artillery drones now - not months from now as scheduled, not sitting in some warehouse in another country.
