Better for Ukraine to keep Kharkiv.

The Biden Administration is reportedly working on a long-term plan for supporting Kyiv that does not anticipate significant territorial gains by the Ukrainian military from Russia in 2024, the Washington Post reported on Jan. 26, citing unnamed sources. The new plan will seek to de-emphasize winning back territory and instead focus on fending off new Russian advances while strengthening the country's defense and economy.
“It’s pretty clear that it will be difficult for them to try to mount the same kind of major push on all fronts that they tried to do last year,” a senior administration official said.
The hope is now to help Ukraine hold its position on the battlefield, but “put them on a different trajectory to be much stronger by the end of 2024 … and get them on a more sustainable path,” said the senior official, one of several unnamed anonymous sources involved in this story.
The Washington Post reports that this plan is part of an international multilateral effort by nearly three dozen countries to provide long-term security and economic support to Ukraine. Countries in this group are committed to this plan both out of necessity, given the disappointing results of the 2023 counteroffensive, and conviction that a repeat of similar efforts in 2024 would bring the same outcome, as well as a demonstration of enduring resolve against Vladimir Putin.

The Russians stole it fair and square. It’s theirs.
Yep, the trajectory looks inexorable now. Putin ready to deal too. It would be nice to concentrate on other “excitement” for a while. There’s plenty out there.
Russia just expanded it’s border and turned Ukraine (back) into a buffer, as it was before the globalists and faggotists got a foothold. I keep saying Russia should take Odessa while they’re at it.
All the scumbags will try to cover their colassal FAIL before the election.
> NATO and the US are going to cut a deal <
Ukraine is not a US problem. It’s not even a NATO problem. It’s an EU problem. And the UK can get involved too if it wishes. But it’s crazy for us to be involved. Europe is rich enough to take care of itself.
Disclaimer: NATO provoked Russia. Putin overreacted, and started a hot war. That makes Putin a war criminal. Still none of our business. That’s the way I see it, anyway.

I don’t read the articles about the progress of the war, because they’re full of lies for one side or the other. But I don’t think I’ve missed because of this some articulation of what NATOs war plans are. People who whine at the drop of a hat about “humanitarian disasters” are silent about this country and its people being chewed up for almost two full years. And we’re talking about what the plan is in the third year?
Zeepers going to have the major vapors over that post. Heh heh
I figured they might take Odessa and leave Ukraine a rump state. Maybe Poland, Romania, and Hungary will take back some of what was their’s too.
That ship has already sailed, FRiend.
If it is indeed a long term plan than it better involve supporting the Ukranian government in Lvov, not Kiev.
Z was an installed puppet. All of his posturing is just a negotiating strategy. In 2022 Boris Johnson and the Biden administration scuttled a “peace deal” that would have minimized the amount of territory lost, saved hundreds of $Billions and who knows how many thousands of lives.
They took a gamble with Ukraine because they hoped to further weaken Russia. It did not work out well; the repercussions are going to cause problems far greater than what most people have any concept of.
Say whut?
Put in a line just like Korea. How long has that cease fire been in place??
Game over, FINALLY, for Ukraine, and a nice BIG SPANKING for the Neocons. About damn time.
faggotists is a good word
I will stick with "globohomo"
For the amount USA sent to Ukraine, around $180 billion, we could have built 10 more Trump border walls between US and Mexico.
Exactly right. None of the Ukraine Flag waving neocons could even find Ukraine on a map until Vicky Nuland, Vindman, and Brandon told them to say “Slava Ukraine”, all they ever cared about was trying to damage Russia. They prove it every time boast about hurting Russia without it costing American lives, fu*k Ukrainian lives… who cares about them as long as it took some Russian lives.
These people are sicko.
Sad

And to make things even crazier, we don’t even have money to send to Ukraine (or anywhere else). So we have to borrow it.

Not really. the war was every bit as legal as our war in Libya and on Serbia for Kosovo.
And he didn’t overreact. He had exactly two choices.
One was stand by and watch as NATO consolidated all over the territory of Ukraine and took over the Sevastopol Navy base they have had since 1782. Watch as they completed the ethnic cleansing of Russian speakers in the Donbass.
Or he could act and protect Russia’s interests.
Two choices, meekly accept the irreversible completion of our hostile goals knowing that all our diplomacy is a lie to further the goal, or fight. He learned the lesson of Munich, that an aggressor will not be deterred from their course by accepting it. So he dared to resist.
