Is sure seems like Russia controls a huge swath of territory along the Eastern Ukrainian border and Crimea. I suspect this will not change over the next several days and weeks, and if the war continues on into the Summer months, then
Russia will expand it’s controlled areas.
The bottom line being, when will people come to their senses and negotiate a peace agreement based on this reality?
But the Biden Administration wants no ceasefire. Why?
“But the Biden Administration wants no ceasefire. Why?”
Actually, Putin is against stopping the invasion &/or ceasefire. Again the true question is “Why?”
Is Ukraine just one step closer to a continual invasion of E.U? e.g. Hitler?
Hitler began Friday, March 15, 1935, with a Cabinet meeting and assembled members of the Army’s General Staff stating his defiance of the military limitations set by the Treaty of Versailles.
June 1935 - Army conscripts are numbered and lined up for medical inspection at Potsdam. Saturday, March 7, 1936 - German Army troops cross a bridge over the Rhine River and enter the Rhineland - for the first time since the end of World War I. Hitler reintroduce compulsory military conscription which was another violation of Part V of the Treaty of Versailles
Then, Hitler knew what the world wanted to hear. On May 21st, he lied again.
Hitler said: “Germany wants peace...None of us means to threaten anybody” and announced his thirteen-point peace program with promises:
-Germany will respect all other provisions of the Treaty of Versailles including the demilitarization of the Rhineland; -Germany is ready to cooperate in a collective system for safeguarding European peace;
-and the German government is ready in principle to conclude pacts of non-aggression with its neighbors.”
Hitler met with Austrian Prime Minister Jan 1, 1938 gaining the Sudeterland after signing Munich Agreement Jan 30, 1939 & proceeded to overran Europe for more than two years.
