And Russia still ain’t gone nowhere......
The denazification and demilitarization of Ukraine continues onward....
It’s a two-way street.
Anyone trusting our Government/Deep State is not thinking.
‘The Ukrainians are in a lot of trouble’

Well that’s good news for the election. If Biden could pull a peace deal out of his derrière that could be the October surprise we are fearing. The only way I see that happening is the Ukraine would have to cede some of the disputed territories which would be a betrayal by Biden if that happened.

Those terms, eh? This is the direct link to the verbatim draft agreement offered by The Kremlin. No Propaganda, no middle men, no edits. Just the facts.
Russia’s terms in summary... Roll back NATO to status quo ante per 1997 (meaning what - expel members that have done nothing wrong and don’t have weapons that threaten Russia and have done nothing that threatens Russia?), terminate all accessions in progress (eg Bosnia?), remove all defensive capabilities from all of eastern Europe, stop doing training in eastern Europe, stop doing military exercises anywhere Russia decides it doesn’t like...
Open ended demands.
The quid pro quo? None. No meaningful concessions from Russia. It can do exercises anywhere. It can invade any country if it’s “necessary”.
The whole thing is a manifesto for “leave eastern Europe defenceless and do nothing when we invade it.”
Unacceptable.
Even one of their own diplomats in March/April was so gobsmacked at the insanity of such obviously unacceptable demands he quit his job and fled Russia. He now lives in Israel.
He has said the terms came directly from the Kremlin and as such are utterly beyond criticism. They presented terms that they all knew would be rejected because they were so outrageous.
Look, when even the Russian negotiating team itself can’t defend the terms they had to present, when they say if they’d been on NATO side of the table they wouldn’t have accepted those terms either, Russia must’ve known those terms were unacceptable to NATO.
In the first 20 years... Russia invaded Chechnya twice, then Georgia. A visiting dign
Zhirinovsky and Putin both wrote big essays on how butt-hurt they were over losing the Soviet empire. Both said none of the Eastern bloc countries were real countries. Both made it abundantly clear that they had a vision of Russia taking those lands back.
President Kaczyński of Poland warned that Russia was going for it.... “Today Georgia, tomorrow Ukraine, the day after tomorrow – the Baltic States and later, perhaps, time will come for my country, Poland,” the President proclaimed... In August 2008.
Was he wrong?
Because Lukashenko and Rossiya1 maps shown on national television broadcasts this spring suggest not.
I never believe Blinken. It is shameful that you do. Shilling for the Biden regime, disgusting.
Shilling for Comrade Putin and a Soviet restoration is what is shameful, Comrade.
I can’t see where he called Lavrov a hero. I did see where he insinuated that the feeling looks to be mutual.
I don’t see where I was shilling for Putin. I however do see you shilling for Blinken and the regime.
If it would not be for the US most Ukrainians still would have a roof over their heads. Probably the eastern portion of the Ukraine which has a large portion of ethnic Russians and was constantly assaulted by radical groups would have been annexed by Russia and things eventually would have settled down. The same goes for Europe if they had not jumped on the US bandwagon. The US purposely damaged the gas supply lines making sure that Europe in general and Germany in particular remains dependent on the US like a colony, just in case they may come to their senses and change their mind.
Those days when Russia had any ideas of expansion are long gone and over with and things of the past. All they want is a quiet neighborhood without NATO or CIA manipulation and intervention. Just like the US likes to keep their backyard free of any intruders. But the warmongers within the US regime know that a peaceful coexistence is bad for the production of war materials, especially the military industrial complex as well as the globalists, cranking out wartime supplies like there is no tomorrow and if they keep it up there may not be one. So, they keep stirring the pot until it will boil over and it isn’t too far from doing just that.
Zelenskyy counts on aggression on both sides continuing, so he can keep getting cash from U.S. taxpayers, and Biden and the rest of the scumbags on both sides of the aisle, rely on being able to continue laundering money in Ukraine.
You’re right - why would Putin talk with braindead Biden about anything regarding this war since this isn’t our conflict - right? and it’s Not Nato’s conflict either - so we are told.
The insanity on the world stage today is beyond incomptent for leaders across the board.
Projection probably.
“Think about it—Mexico and Canada are right on our borders!”
Right. And Mexico and Canada are *not* playing host as launching pads for Russian weapons aimed at the US. Most Americans fail to make this distinction. It’s too hard.
Lol
I don’t see that the USor the client state Ukraine have any intent to end the violence either.
