With 2/3 of Republicans supporting trading Ukrainian land for peace, the GOP House will cut the legs out from under Ukraine.
This after more than a year of the Biden admin promising to do whatever it takes, for as long as it takes.
Ukraine believed it.
Along with the Budapest Memorandum this is prima facie proof Ukraine is not smart enough to be its own country.
We can’t do it all I heard that during the Vietnam War explain to me how that ended for the US.
Our intelligence, isn’t.
That's an odd name.
This Republican still doesn’t give a damn about Russia or Ukraine. I really don’t care about it other than wasting our money and driving us deeper into debt. Although, with Biden blowing up a pipeline I am concerned about long term relations it Russia. If we don’t get into WW3, we certainly are heading into another Cold War. After Biden’s and the Pentagon’s Charlie Foxtrot in Afghanistan it should have abundantly clear that we do not want to exert power while Biden is CIC. The recent balloonapalooza reinforces that.
Why are we doing anything at all?
The Ukraine is not our ally. It’s not even a friend..
For 10% they will.
Would have been a lot cheaper and more effective to just let Ukraine keep its nukes after the Soviet Union fell - nations armed with nuclear weapons don’t get invaded. But no, our Bushies and Clintonites followed their “no nukes” religion and here we are.
Out of ammo, traitorous bastards?
I said it on another thread, but only a fool would believe a promise from Uncle Sam when it comes to war. We change administrations and governments every 2-4 years so a promise today has a short shelf life.
Just ask the Afghans, Iraqis, Libyans, Syrians, Kurds, and Montagnards how it worked out for them. While none of them were “perfect allies” we pulled the rug out from underneath them when it became politically expedient to do so.
I would NEVER trust any American diplomat.
Sure we can. We are only $180 Trillion in unpayable debt & liabilities. We can easily add Trillions more.
“With 2/3 of Republicans supporting trading Ukrainian land for peace, the GOP House will cut the legs out from under Ukraine.”
The Republican in the House and Senate will normally do what benefits them personally. Usually that means they will do the bidding of the big donors. Where do the big donors stand on Ukraine today?
“Senior Biden official” — Likely a Biden Cabinet official or General who is ready to jump ship from this administration.
I hope all this is to dispel Zelensky’s unrealistic expectations that he is going to get Russia to cede territory they have taken in the two Russian provinces and Crimea while he bleeds us dry and he needs to get to the conference table with Russia.
