“”How about nuclear weapons in Cuba? That’s the ticket!””
Best comment of this thread.
No peace talks as long as Russia is on Uke territory.
Wow. kind of like letting someone buy fire insurance after their house burns down.
Indeed. There’s really no good answers to this situation, but some responses are worse than others. We seem to be drifting into really bad decisions.
Bargaining chip?
We turn it down in exchange for Pooti Poot getting his a$$ out of Ukraine?
That way the Pooter can save face
Monetarily, pushing a trillion so far. Our own military stockpile. Strategic oil reserves. 10s of 1000s of lives too. Zelensky and Biden say more, more, more.
P
Aggression? NATO founded in 1949. Warsaw Pact 1955. Who is the aggressor in terms of alliances, pacts and/or treaties here?
Further, NORTH Atlantic Treaty Organization.....just what part of the NORTH Atlantic does Ukraine abut? Or even being close to it?
NATO toyed with UKR ever since it first tried to be a NATO aspirant in 2018, IIRC. NOW? it wants expedited full membership? This isn't a way to try and deescalate a war; it's a provocation for nuclear exchange, IMO.
Zelensky knows November is coming and after that Biden won't even tell him the time of day - he'll be too busy fighting off a 25th Amendment action or real calls to resign.

This would be a reasonable compromise, but I don’t think those moving the chess pieces on either side are very reasonable.
As I understand it, and the situation is more complex (obviously), this was on the table prior to Putin sending his forces toward Kiev so IF this happens (I hope it does for the sake of those being sacrificed) what a shame that we ended up right back where we began.
Russia Knows the deepstate was planning on using Ukraine to take out Russia. That is mainly why Russia did what they did in the first place. I can’t imagine that they will sit by and let this happen.
Follow Nancy Reagan advice: just say NO
“ IF this happens (I hope it does for the sake of those being sacrificed) what a shame that we ended up right back where we began.”
It needs to end. The situation could turn catastrophic in a second.
Putin needs a way out so he can save face.
"He" is the globalist left who want Putin gone. Zelensky is a pawn. A useful idiot. A well paid useful idiot but still an idiot.
Your comment was my first thought too.
Yes, I am very wise...Why? Because, unlike you, I don’t believe and repeat bullsh$t coming from the Biden regime and “the liberal world order” that it is trying to preserve.
It’s funny. I don’t know your tastes, but many like it.
It’s called Archer.
Archer is hillarious.
I don’t even know what the show is about. Just glancing at it thru the channels I thought it was a cartoon spy show like Bond..............
Very funny show. I’d recommend streaming it from the beginning, though, rather than coming into it now and trying to pick up the whole story. The first 6 or 7 seasons were the best anyway.
