So you all are good with letting Putin destroy Ukraine, talk about war mongers.
Russia has said it want's a neutral, disarmed Ukraine, not aligned with the EU and not a part of NATO on her border.
At one time the USA understood "sphere's of influence". We, too, have used our military many times to protect what we perceive as our sphere of influence.
The morons in the Biden administration think that Russia is some little country that they can push around. They are arrogant children. Sadly, teaching them a lesson (via the ridiculous cartoon leader Zelensky) is going to be painful for all of Ukraine. That's how wars go. There is an element of "punishment" that has now entered the scene, and is part of what is happening.
‘What is happening today is retribution for the children, women and old men murdered and maimed in cold blood. The countries who today pose as pacifists and judge at the same time, and condemn the missile strikes on military, communications and energy-supply targets of the Ukraine, for eight long years could not have given a damn about the fates of those who lived in the Donbass’.
Ramzan Kadyrov, Head of the Chechan Republic
The idiot Biden regime imposed sanctions that completely backfired. Russia has lots of coal, oil, gas, wheat and chemicals to export. Forcing the countries of Europe that have depended on those commodities didn't hurt Russia much, they are selling them to India, China, Turkey, Iran, Indonesia, and the rest of the world.
Again: arrogance leads to failure.
The war is easy to end. It will require Biden again admitting failure, just as he did in Afghanistan. Zelensky will probably need to be shown the door. No big loss, he was a TV commedian two years ago, he can get a new show in London or New York.
The "negotiated settlment" will acknolwedge new borders, with perhaps a nice DMZ in the betweeen the two sides. Russia's conditions will be met (just as America's were in Cuba in 1962)
