“If Poland was going to take Ukraine territory they wouldn’t send so much of their own weaponry to Ukraine. Poland has donated more than 240 tanks to Ukraine.”
If you were paying attention, you’d know that Poland doesn’t need weapons to take their slice of Ukraine, considering what was signed into law last month by Ukraine.
Agree that this war is loser for the russians.
but its also a loser for the west.
the only winner in this game is china.
china will get more control over russia while the west’s material wealth to maintain high cost militaries declines.
The war would never have happened if President Trump had remained in office.

I believe that as well. Strong leadership and statesmanship could have avoided this colossal mess.
But the Deep State is happy.
Don’t tell that to the RAT “media”. They’re already losing their minds over the “Assault on Mar-A-Lago” backfire.
“You guys rejected it.”
I certainly didn’t reject anything, nor was I asked.
Ukraine may have expressed interest in joining NATO but that was going nowhere fast.
Of all of the smoke and mirrors surrounding the war that much is incontrovertible.
The Biden Family are big winners.
Lets be clear, NATO started this war.
Sure, NATO invaded...
“I believe that as well.”
Agree with that, because Trump would have at least picked up the phone when Putin called and explained to him what was going on in Ukraine and likely would have stopped the Neocons.
...but never a prayer with the bunch we have now.
Naah, he doesn’t have to surrender. Just honor the Minsk agreement — something he was gonna do until BeijingBiden offered a wad of cash (minus his cut). Why? So BB could continue to launder money, have UK continue employment of loser Dems’ kids (Kerry, Biden, etc), and continue supply of sex slaves.
That this is also killing the EU’s energy supply is a side benefit. By design, but beside the point of the Pedo installed in the WHouse.
“Ukraine may have expressed interest in joining NATO...”
At least you admit that much. No go check on what NATO was doing with Ukraine prior to Feb 24th.
Who started the war?
Russia
When Ukraine's Right Sektor achieved power in 2014 after the Maidan coup - the FIRST thing they did was go to a hot war in the Donbas.
What's ridiculous is people relying on stupid, simplistic MSM slogans for their understanding of complex events.
...but never a prayer with the bunch we have now.

They have already done incalculable and lasting damage to this once great country. And they’re far from done.
Minsk agreement was a poison pill meant to end Ukrainian independence.
In a June 2021 interview, Vladislav Surkov, Putin's aide for Ukraine policy from 2013 to 2020, who was removed from his role in February 2020, said that Ukraine "can be reformed as a confederation, with a lot of freedom for the regions to decide things by themselves". He said the country would be severed by the "geopolitical gravity" between Russia and the West, describing the Minsk agreements as an act that "legitimized the first division of Ukraine" in a "reconquest", "the first open geopolitical counter-attack by Russia [against the West]"

War has been going on since Putin's little green men took Crimea and then fomented war in Donbas and Luhansk.
This unrest, however, only evolved into an armed conflict because of Russian military backing for what had been a marginal group as part of the Russo-Ukrainian War. The conflict was thus, in the words of historian Hiroaki Kuromiya, "secretly engineered and cleverly camouflaged by outsiders".

“Minsk agreement was a poison pill meant to end Ukrainian independence.”
Oh well, too late now. Ukraine is gone, should have swallowed the pill to see what would happen...
The author of this article is Oscar Silva-Valladares, not Ron Paul. Try to get it right next time, Jon. It reads like standard Kremlin propaganda to me. It says that Ukraine and Europe are losing, but gives no evidence to support the argument.
“War has been going on since Putin’s little green men took Crimea and then fomented war in Donbas and Luhansk.”
I agree that made sense to make those silly claims in the first month or so of the war, but you guys are no longer fooling anyone here. You probably would do better on Twitter and Facebook.
“It says that Ukraine and Europe are losing, but gives no evidence to support the argument.”
You can’t be serious.
