You can’t get peace until both sides really want it, and both sides get some kind of security.

Both armies are not depleted. So the war will continue.

The Korean War continued because both sides realized that there was no point to waste lives for few acres of territory.

Putin is fighting the war for his political survival. If he loses, he may get overthrown.

The Ukrainians are preventing the Holodomor from happening again.

Putin just won reelection with 80% of the vote and is office for five more years.

This fantasy about the war being unpopular and him being overthrown is beyond absurd.

Actually that is not correct. North Korea with the assistance of China's support and later in the war actual troops and Russian pilots had pushed us back into a small corner of South Korea, "The Pusan Perimeter." We then pushed them back and would have taken the whole penisula and they knew it therefor they then negotiated.

We should have listened to General MacArthur. He wanted to take the whole damn thing. Truman fired him but oddly correctly though it was a bad decision.

The sad part about the Korean War is the great loss of American lives that were needlessly lost. We had atomics. Russia had atomics but in far inferior numbers and quality. They would have declined to go to atomic warfare with us at that time. We should have used atomics on North Korea.

In the News/Activism forum, on a thread titled Ukraine desperately wants more F-16 trainees since it's only getting 20 pilots to fly 85 warplanes: report, MinorityRepublican wrote:

The Ukrainian military is depleted. I started posting about the Ukrainian official's pleas for more ammunition last year. It's a slaughter, with under supplied Ukrainian conscripts going up against well supplied Russian troops. Putin is popular -the public correctly sees this NATO proxy war as a threat to their sovereinty.

The Ukrainians are not preventing the Holodomor from happening again - the Deep State is protecting it's Ukrainian headquarters while they labor to destroy Russia. NATO's plan for world peace, which the neocons simply do not want, is to disarm the rest of the world so that only NATO may be in control. People like me want to avoid NATO's 'New (One) World Order' comprised of unelected fascists (NATO, WHO, UN, WEF).
