Every mass of “troops” RuSSia throws at Ukraine is ground up and spit back. RuSSia’s “troops” are not forced conscriptees with rusty weapons, little clothing, little food, and little training. Ukraine’s superior NATO-like military is now far superior.

“The Russian Army does not have the logistical support system to support an offensive with 500,000 troops. They are barely able to support their troops at the front lines now, let alone the increased requirements of an army conducting a massed offensive.”

Yuhp, and they have been scraping the bottom of the barrel getting those.
The new troops must be Cub Scouts and more jailbirds (this time over the age of 60”. These troops are just likely to scatter at the first outburst of fire.

Good deal. Maybe the Russians can finally achieve their objectives and hang Zelenskyyy along with his cohorts.

“Perhaps now would be a good time to start peace talks while you still have 80% of the country. Or you can keep saying no and see what happens.”

What good would that do they won’t live up to an agreement anyway.

What, you don't believe that a political leader from one side is the best spokesman to explain what the other side is planning and thinking? /s

We all knew the media has degenerated into pointless gibberish before this war, but they've done nothing to improve their image in their reporting on it.

“Or you can keep saying no and see what happens. “

Nobody ever accused Ukrainians of being smart.

Hell, they traded all of their nukes for a Bill Clinton autograph.

How dumb is that?

Ukraine will not attend peace talks when they have an unlimited amount of money backing them. I am afraid one side will have to be defeated for the war to end much like WW2.

After WW2 a lot of the people in the defeated countries did not care who won, they were simply happy the war was over.

“Russia threatening to nuke us “isn’t our problem”?

I’m unsure of the facts, but can you cite an example of a Russian government official...or offical government comms channel...where they threaten to nuke the US?

It MAY be out there somewhere, but I doubt it.

“Surrendering now to nuclear blackmail now will only encourage the Chicoms, etc.”

There are some who — for whatever reason — just don’t see that.

Communists prey on weakness; it is in their DNA.

“Russia threatening to nuke us “isn’t our problem”? So weak. Surrendering now to nuclear blackmail now will only encourage the Chicoms, etc.”

You should volunteer to go over and fight. If you are too old send your children and grandchildren since Russia is our problem.

They didn’t threaten to nuke us. They said if we escalate and attack them they might. That’s like saying IF the guy at the far end of my block breaks into my house and attacks me, I would shoot him down.

All he has to do to not get shot, is to leave me alone.

That’s the problem, even if the Neocons finally come to their senses, the war will only end when Russia sees a stable long-term solution in Ukraine - and that CANNOT include any promises from the West, since the West has OPENLY ADMITTED that they will lie to Russia.

“The Russian invasion of the Ukraine was never an American problem.”

Except for a solid decade of working for it, provoking it, and arming the nazi force conducting the ethnic cleansing and attacks on the separatists.
We need to back off, but it’s our problem in as much as we created it.
