Ukraine cannot win this war.
Period!
Ping
It is not expected to. Thecwarvwill end once everybody involved thinks they are rich enough.
As long as there is fodder to throw to the cannons, and there is somewhere else to retire to with all his money, Zelensky will fight on.
Agreed.
Exactly. $,$$$,$$$,$$$.
Putin’s Russia invaded Ukraine. Ukraine is defending itself..
If you ever get attacked or mugged on the street, remember to never fight back - you probably deserved it. Just let it happen.
Only globohomo Nazis who play pianos with their willies and dance like sissies fight back. Don’t be a like a Ukrainian.
Now for some reality: 1) If at all possible never back someone dangerous into a corner. But if you do, realize that if you continue goading him and he suddenly punches your teeth out through the back of your neck, you have mainly yourself to blame for getting smashed.
2): If you want to play for real on the world stage and wish to be taken seriously do not film yourself prancing around seductively like a bath house homosexual in a rough trade leather outfit with other poofs. Do not allow yourself to be filmed pretending to play piano with you penis and running around naked in a grocery store in front of naked children. Do not disrespect other world figures by dressing up like a fake GI Joe in a tee shirt when you meet with them to beg for mah-ney. Do not endlessly work a ham-handed, classic Eastern European con for more and more cash and prizes. Most importantly, do not ever mess with or try to hustle Donald J Trump or JD Vance.
3) Never take seriously anyone who refers to themselves as a Cold "Warrior," who unlike our boys in 'Nam, were partying in Germany; guzzling beer and banging German chickies instead of facing death and disfigurement every day they were "in country."
Zelenski’s end game is to keep the money train rolling to increase his mountain of EU and US billions flowing into his personal coffers. He’s doubtless got estates all over the world, as does Putin.
I blame the deceitful European and American neo-liberals for refusing to negotiate a settlement and cynically pushing the notion that the Kiev regime could prevail against Russia.
There needs to be a reckoning for these folks and there is no better place to start then the upcoming GOP primary in South Carolina.
Its not and never has been “Zelensky’s war”. So the entire idea is false. It has been Putin’s war all along.
It is rather obvious Ukraine ceases to exist. No money left, ( but EU welfare funds are still flowing), national debt rating lowered to D minus, infrastructure turned to rubble,, manpower / demographics deeply negative, manufacturing destroyed, and nothing to rebuild with.
Rule number one: Do NOT approach a drowning man, lest he drag you under.
NATO is using Ukraine as its proxy army. To the last Ukrainian.
Actually... It’s all Putin’s war... And the endgame was taking over the Ukraine... Something Vlad has utterly failed to do and he’s destroyed Russia’s economy, killed hundred of thousand of Russians and destroyed Russia’s future while ‘not’ doing what he set out to do.
The man is a complete failure as a leader and as a Russian. Russia deserves better.
Absolutely! Ukraine cannot win. The regions that Putin has taken control of including the Crimea are mostly Russian speaking and want to be with Russia. These lands will be ceded to Russia and new boundaries drawn. The sooner the better.
There’s an end game but it’s not a pretty one for Ukraine.
Well-written article, pretty much capturing what most of us have been saying all along.
“Absolutely! Ukraine cannot win. The regions that Putin has taken control of including the Crimea are mostly Russian speaking and want to be with Russia. These lands will be ceded to Russia and new boundaries drawn. The sooner the better.”
Yup,
So much of this war has been salvos of media and blitzes of media and postures and costumes and symbols and words-words-words. Keeps it looking like it isn't what is is turning out to be.
