I get it, you and your friends vehemently disagree with JP to the point of issuing personal attacks. Jon's merely continuing to point out there are, and will be, no winners in the conflict between Ukraine and Russia.

While our Southern Border receives only scraps from the table of Longshanks/Biden, Zelenskyy is dining on Wagyu Beef and lobster, courtesy of the taxpayers of the US, 90% of whom cannot locate Ukraine on a map.

There is an unimaginable humanitarian crisis on the horizon, and it will be led by General Winter, a much badder dude than Corn Pop. In the pantheon of World Military History, General Winter has yet to be defeated...just ask Napoleon, for example.

The warring factions need to swallow hard, and march their butts to the negotiating table, and end this debacle. Don't try to tell me there will be a winner here, both sides have already lost in my opinion.

But only one side is trying to steal from the other.

“I get it, you and your friends vehemently disagree with JP to the point of issuing personal attacks.”

Well, if that isn’t the pot calling the kettle black!”

“Jon’s merely continuing to point out there are, and will be, no winners in the conflict between Ukraine and Russia.”

Sounds like you’re on a first-name basis with him. If so, and if you’ve been following his comments since earlier this year, you’d readily see he wants to see Ukraine crushed by Russia and dismantled and turned into a Russian province.

“There is an unimaginable humanitarian crisis on the horizon, and it will be led by General Winter, a much badder dude than Corn Pop. In the pantheon of World Military History, General Winter has yet to be defeated...just ask Napoleon, for example.”

The thing about General Winter is he takes no sides. Poorly equipped Russians will suffer his wrath, as well. Napoleon, as Hitler after him, lost because he did not properly prepare logistically for the invasion OR for winter. Both overestimated their abilities and ignored the natural defenses of the Russian landmass. That’s called hubris. And both Napoleon and Hitler had it in spades.

“The warring factions need to swallow hard, and march their butts to the negotiating table, and end this debacle.”

It can end today if Russia simply withdraws from Ukraine as its borders were in 2013.

“Don’t try to tell me there will be a winner here, both sides have already lost in my opinion.”

I disagree. Ukraine wins by not losing.

The "General Winter" bluster is historical ignorance.

The Soviet Union had an advantage in winter because the Germans were completely unused to, and ill-prepared for, the winter on the steppes. They were an invader 1000 miles from home, in hostile territory.

But here, Ukraine is defending its own territory, during winters that their own people have experienced and lived through their entire lives. And the Russians already admitted that more than a million winter uniforms that were supposed to be in storage don't actually exist.

The home field advantage for winter is with Ukraine, not Russia
