Yes, I believe you can force Russia to the peace table.
Just announce full support for Ukrainian F-15, F-16, and A-10’s, that are in the Arizona desert facilities, to be delivered with hellfire missiles and gps guided munitions, 1000 M1A2 sp3 and 2000 Bradley’s, several hundred Paladins and copperheads.

Yes, that would turn the tide of battle and the Russians would be left considering using Nuclear Weapons before the convoys moved through Russia.

They don’t want that, I don’t want that, Russian people don’t want that. That would force them to the table. I agree, because the Russians invaded, they should give up Russian Territory to Ukraine. Maybe half way to Moscow would be sufficient……. Or maybe they should just leave all Ukraine territory and save everybody all the trouble.

Ron DeSantis – who served in Iraq and saw the failure firsthand – has rejected the Beltway consensus.

Maybe I missed it … but has Ron DeSantis ever disavowed the U.S. military campaign in Iraq?

Having travelled both belligerents in this regional conflict, I can say the old EU saying is true, “ When shaking hands with a Ukrainian, be sure to check how many fingers he stole”.

Ukraine is the most corrupt nation on the planet,obvious as six Democrat politicians have Ukrainian ties, 10 percent to Joe.

Backing such a corrupt country will end in disaster, ( not to mention Ukraine’s Neo- Nazi ties), it is obvious evil is destroying evil, we have no business intervening.

Vlad still holds all the cards, and the collective West knows it.

Quite obvious:

Ukraine 1991-2023 RIP, tge quicker the better.

Where are the calls for Peace.? None, absolutely none, except for Trump who asked the same question. DeSantis has not called for Peace, Trump has.

The US has been infected with the dreaded Russian Derangement Syndrome, started by the Demoncrats years ago, Russia gate, Mueller’s failed investigation, Ukraine Vindman brothers, impeachment…

Blessed are the Peacemakers, carry on war cheerleaders, your road leads to destruction…….Ukraine has no strategic interests to us, except for the grift and enrichment of the war cheerleaders.

Peace isn’t the end-all-be-all, but I agree with you in this instance.

yes, i know.

I also was an USAF Tfwg member under do nothing Carter, too.

He let those gdmfng eye-ranians slide, too.

I am still here, with my bets being any military action with the russkies would be a re-enactment of the Union troops and picnikers at the 1st Battle of Bull Run.

Much of the Kuban area of Russia was Ukrainian before Stalin ethnically cleansed it of Ukrainians and their culture. The territorial concessions can start there.

So basically ron is just a weak Copycat who doesnt want to put in real effort, have his own real agenda, other than to thwart Trump?

God deals with people deceptive and such as ron andhis pals. They likely wont like what they get in the end.

America is the global hegemon. That comes with privilaged like the dollar being the world’s reserve currency and a privilaged economic position but ig also comes with a responsibility to help secure global peace, the pac Americana.

This is not unimportant when it comes to America’s national interests either, if America retreats from the world, the USD will eventually lose its position as world’s reserve currency and that would have catastrophic implications for America’s economy. You would certainly see the decline of the US relative to the PRC accelerate and arrive by the late 2030s rather than the 2050s as most projections suggest.

And if Russia is rewarded with a victory due to western indifference and failure to support, that is going to be a green light to other military powers to seize an opportunity to grab land off other nations they perceive to be weaker than themselves, China in particular, and also means the non-proliferation is dead. Every country with an active territorial dispute with one of its neighbours will be rushing to acquire nukes to deter an attack that America can not be relied on to be deterred any other way, and this is going to mean a lot more unstable sketchy countries developing WMDs and increasing the likelihood of a global nuclear conflict.

For the sake of future global peace and the majntainance of the current world order, Ukraine has to be supported and Russia cannot be allowed to win.

This is one reason I’ve soured on Mark Levin, who is an ardent proponent of funding Ukraine’s campaign against Russia.

Levin has exposed himself as just another loud mouthed performer who does whatever Lindsay Graham, Mitch McConnel, and the Bush clan tell him to do. He is farcical at this point.

No photo description available.

Apparently, you didn't learn anything from your adventures in grade school?

Yeah, I learned bullies don’t stop bullying you or those weaker than them unless you drop them on their ass, and that it sends a message to the other bullies too...

Yes, I figured that was about as much as you learned in grade school and beyond. Look up Dunning–Kruger effect if you want greater insight into your particular path.

Stop the insanity

Expecting the Biden administration to handle any foreign policy matter in a prudent and efficient manner is insanity. No good can come from the hundreds of $Billions currently being squandered in Ukraine. Of course worse are the hundreds of thousands of lives being lost or destroyed... all because you believe that Biden, AOC, Lindsay Graham, Mitch McConnel, Schumer, Pelosi and et.al. are capable of accomplishing something other than funneling money back to themselves. We have no strategic interests in Ukraine it is part of Russia and has for over a thousand years. There is nothing that this group of gools is going to do that will change that.
