If you think, like Elon Musk, that instead of fighting, Ukraine and Russia “should agree to a truce,” the recent interview with General Andrey Mordvichev, one of Russia’s top commanders in Ukraine, should give you pause.
Asked about the war’s expected duration, he said the quiet part out loud: There is still “plenty of time.”
According to him, “If we are talking about Eastern Europe, which we will have to, of course then it will be longer.”
In other words, the Kremlin is in the conflict for the long haul.
Not only it is committed, as Russian President Vladimir Putin himself stated on numerous occasions, to the destruction of Ukraine’s statehood, but its ambitions extend beyond Ukraine, encompassing Moldova and Georgia as well as our NATO allies in the Baltic states and Poland.
None of this is news to Eastern Europeans.
As the late former president of Poland Lech Kaczynski noted in 2008, after Russia attacked Georgia, “Today Georgia, tomorrow Ukraine, the Baltic States the day after tomorrow, and then perhaps the time will come for my country, Poland.”
America’s self-styled realists who believe a compromise can be reached with Putin — perhaps peace in exchange for some territory and promise of Ukraine’s neutrality — have a hopelessly unrealistic, naïve understanding of the Kremlin’s thinking.

How can you guys say you back America and to screw Europe ?
Do you Guys understand if nato gets attacked then America goes to war ? You want to take a chance with American troop lives !!
I am pro America, I don’t want to see American ground troops in Europe, that’s why I would like to do ukraine stop Russia in its tracks
I am pro America
Snake, the fantasies of both your sources and yourself are running pretty wild. I’m guessing things are going well in Ukraine so it’s time to ramp up the PROPAGANDA.
PS… Nobody with a lick of common sense believes any of your ridiculous propaganda.
“...yet more evidence of why NATO is still needed ...
because Russia continues to be a threatening menace to every European country”
The Ukrazies would have us believe:
1) Russia is being defeated by Ukraine
2) Russia is about to march to the Channel.
It is ultimately impossible for Ukraine to defeat Russia.
When everyone that can fight in Ukraine is dead and the nation is pulverized, what’s next?
In a more saner time, when we had leaders, the war would have been negotiated to an end long ago.
Russia is so formidable that this war is still going on almost 2 years into it
They threw everything at ukraine. Bombing civilian infrastructure and military and non military installations and Ukrainians still going strong
Wow what a sensational army Russia has.
“I am pro America”

Sure you are…. snicker, snicker. Yeah, we really believe you.
Hey, FOUR-DAY-OLD-NOOB, did you sign up here just to push Ukraine’s interests and conduct NEVER-TRUMP jihad?
Number of active-duty United States military personnel in Europe in 2022, by country
Ukraine should have never given up their nuclear weapons for peace, how the hell could anyone trust putins words. Worthless words
No nuclear country has ever been invaded
If I were Poland or other nato countries I would get myself some nuclear weapons fast
This guy has ZERO, ZERO influence over Russian state policy, yet you post it as if Putin his own self said it.
Amateur.
You the only pro America?
So, if Russia’s army is so hopeless, how can they be a threat to NATO countries ?
LOL !
The population of United States is 340 million
Europe has 729 million
Japan and Australia 150 million
Russia and China have 1.6 billion
United States cannot be alone. It needs friends

“The population of United States is 340 million
Europe has 729 million”
So why does the USA have to pay to defend Europe from Russia ?
“I am pro America, I don’t want to see American ground troops in Europe, that’s why I would like to do ukraine stop Russia in its tracks
I am pro America”
Ukraine has done that already. Now the fighting is about where the borders will be.
Pooty probably could have snapped up a Baltic Country or two IF he could make it a sneak attack that began before other NATO forces arrived. But if those other countries’ forces are there even modestly as a tripwire, and get attacked, then I think NATO has to respond immediately in force (mostly by air, initially.)
The thing about the Baltics was that grabbing them didn’t help Pooty in his economic need to keep Ukraine off the Euro energy markets. Of course, he’s screwed the pooch on that one by not being able to take Ukraine quickly — Ukraine is now off that market of course, but, increasingly, Russia is too.
“The Baltic states weren’t bombing ethnic Russians since 2014- the Ukies were.”
The Ukrainians didn’t invade Russia in 2014 but the Russians invaded Ukraine.
Also, if you knew what you were talking about, the Russians have been complaining about how the Balts treat their massive Russian minority population for 30 years. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/moscow-condemns-russophobia-baltic-states-say-it-will-affect-ties-2022-08-30/
And breaking news tonight- the US Federal Reserve just reported $57 Billion in losses !!!….how can that be? They print dollars at will….a very, very bad Harbinger…..and Putin says CHECKMATE, again.
