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.

I don’t think you understood my point
If Europeans fall/switch call it what you want then America stands alone
Alone !
Now you get it ?
America will be chocked
No computer chips
No nothing.
Chocked off from the rest of the world slowly
“Peace in our time” should work well with Putin.
Like it did with Hitler.
Be wary lots of Putin lovers here
It appears the US is getting humiliated….senile Joe’s Afghanistan debacle will be nothing compared to his Ukrainian debacle.
I think they would have surrendered. The Russians would have captured them. Once the Baltics have been captured. The West will have to make a deal to get the soldiers back. I don't think the West will nuke Russia over the Baltics. The Poles may get pissed off. They'll probably send troops to Ukraine to prevent an invasion by the Russians. In an alternate timeline.....
"They was just asking for trouble."
Americans will need to send troops if nato attacked
Time for North America to start building the stuff we make, and buying the stuff we build.
Oh, there are not. There may be one or two, but even that is unlikely.
There are, however, lots of conservative, America First, MAGA people here who are opposed to the Biden regime sending billions of unaccountable, unaudited taxpayer dollars to a known money-laundering operation.
Looking back to the Day One events during the war with Ukraine, Putin could have used his VDV paratroopers to capture all the Baltics at the same time. I think there's about 40,000 of them. Then he'll have tanks across the border. Nothing NATO can do to stop that.
Instead he attacked Kyiv. Almost pulled it off. Fortunately for Ukraine, the Russians were incompetent and corrupt.
They are killing all of their men on both sides. European males who are culturally mostly Orthodox Christian. This makes Schwab and Soros types very happy.
The most important thing is to have deterrence. Reagan had that. So did Trump.
Obviously, Biden is incapable of that.
Fair enough
“Americans will need to send troops if nato attacked”
If NATO is attacked, the first thing they will all do is exit NATO, just like the Belgians declared themselves neutral in 1936.
All that will be left is the USA, UK, Baltics and maybe Poland.
I am pro America
————
Pro American means supporting our Founding Fathers and our Constitution, who stated quite clearly, “ Do NOT get entangled in foreign affairs “….and spending hundreds of billions on a corrupted nation with no strategic purpose when Americans are suffering is so very UN- American.
America will be chocked
Aw, crap. Yet another foreign troll, probably Eastern European. 🙄
What was your previous FR handle? Or your active one that you use concurrently with this one?
What is trumps deference please ?
It’s not bombing Moscow
It’s not nuclear bombing Moscow
Is it giving ukraine to Russia ?
Please tell me what the deference was ?
I’m good with arming ukraine to stop Russia.
Same way Russia armed North Korea killing American troops
Same way Russia armed north Vietnam killing Americans
Same way Russia wanted to plant nuclear weapons in Cuba
I’m sure I can find more meddling from Russia.
We have FReepers here who thinks it is okay for Putin to invade Ukraine just because there’s some corruption in Ukrainian government.
You clowns need to keep your story straight.
You mean the same nato that went to war WITH the USA in Iraq ?
When USA came calling for nato troops they delivered.
