"It's our land."

Zelensky will fight to the last "our".

And Lose.

Trump will gain nothing killing Russian soldiers.

How ridiculous.

Yep. I was thinking of much the same thing. East Prussia once belonged to Germany, Finland once belonged to Imperial Russia, etc. My older Hungarian friends and relatives are still VERY upset at Hungary’s loss of Transylvania after WW1.

When does the fussing end? Do we accept international borders as they are today? Or do we accept war and threats of war forever?

I guess the answer is: Might makes right. Same as it ever was.

Trump is acting as a mediator in this mess, but in the meantime U.S. aid and assistance is still flowing into Ukraine in ways and amounts we are not fully told about. This thing is like stepping into quicksand. After the ungrateful Zelensky pulled his little stunt in the White House Trump should have pulled the plug right there and then. After saying Zelensky has no cards left to play Trump is still dealing with him. There’s a whole lot of incongruence there.

Well you have to begin with the good result of dead Russian soldiers.

But things like the end of Isis and Assad came by killing Russians. Hundreds of Russian soldiers were killed by the lethal aid he gave to Ukraine. Without it. Ukraine would likely have been taken whole in the initial invasion.

Zelensky and the EU want to do everything they can to keep this war going in hopes of drawing us into it.

The land actually belongs to the residents there, who rose up and fought to liberate from a government that was came to power illegitimate and was persecuting them.

It’s not your land if you don’t stand for re-election, piss on the Church, want to beat up on Russian speaking “citizens”, play the Piano in a wanker way, don’t call out the Biden Crime Fam. etc.

No doubt the EU keeps filling Zeke’s head with BS. The only thing that matters to them is preventing a Trump negotiated end to this war.

Zelenski is projecting. Putin wants to keep what he has won, Zelenski thinks he is getting back what he lost. Thats not the way war works.

Putin is demanding that Ukraine give up land, including two major cities, that it has not taken just for 30 day ceasefire.

As long as Zelensky is alive, he will never support peace. All his power comes with the war. End the war and all his power is gone.

He added if Putin demands what he knows Kyiv won't agree to, 'it means that they don't want peace.'

The Green Goblin is a punk. The Azov guys will end up killing him in the end.

Those savage nations don’t want peace.

Trump needs to walk away. No money or anything else for either of them.

He tried. They’re just yanking him around and trying to see what they can get out of us.

Britain is by the biggest instigator followed closely by France, I’d slot Germany in 3rd.
A big yes to Trump keeping us far away

Putin offered to let him save his remaining troops.

It’s almost as if the Ukrainian sex toy cannot even imagine the unspoken alternative.

“Kyiv will not meet Vladimir Putin’s request for Ukraine to withdraw troops from its four partially occupied regions”

Yes, Putin can expect a nyet.

Next issue!
