Polish president: No Ukrainian territory can be ceded to Russia as price for peace deal
The Washington Times ^ | July 9, 2024 | Ben Wolfgang and Guy Taylor

The president of Poland on Tuesday sharply rejected any cease-fire deal for the Ukraine war that would require Kyiv to cede territory to Moscow — drawing a clear line in the sand at a moment when China, fellow NATO ally Hungary and some leading American politicians are growing louder in their calls for a rapid negotiated end to the conflict.

Polish President Andrzej Duda, whose nation is the most powerful NATO member state bordering Ukraine, stood firm on the issue in a wide-ranging exclusive interview with The Washington Times, just as a key summit of NATO leaders got underway in Washington.

Ukraine should be “admitted as soon as possible” to the transatlantic alliance, said Mr. Duda

Sooner or later Ukraine is going to run out of troops. What happens then?

So, how the hell are you going to get it back? You want to rest of the world to undertake WWIII, or just pour a bottomless pit of dough into your coffers until the Russians cry “uncle”???

Shouldn’t the Ukrainians decide that?

Well, according to the war cheerleading club that won’t happen because ghost of kiev, the US will magically flood the market with oil somehow, we’ll be somehow repaid the money flushed down that toilet, and Russia is both incompetent and somehow an existential threat to the universe and requires ever increasingly larger amounts of money to defeat.
.... while supposedly already defeated....
Yeah, I’ve been told some version of all of the above by the cheerleading club.

Poland can send in their troops.

I predicted a long time ago that there was a good chance that Poland could get involved, since facing Russia now rather than after it's had time to recover makes some sense.

Poland is also looking at transferring more Mig29s and possibly extending its air defense over Western Ukraine.

But I think this is just Duda stressing that making pre-emptive concessions in exchange for nothing is just foolish.

The Polish president is correct. Aggression cannot be rewarded.

However, we must be realistic. Putin will not (and cannot) leave Ukrainian territory that he already occupies. So sell that land to Russia, the price being a large amount of gold and oil.

In a way, it would be like the Gadsden Purchase. Mexico knew that land was gone. So they got the most for it that they could.

This whole Ukraine war is a tragic mess. It’s much like WW1. Christians massacring each other in great numbers over minor things. Trump, I think, can sort this all out.

November can’t come soon enough.

I think the Poles just volunteered themselves.

PT Barnum was right.

For some years, Polish strategic planners anticipated that Russia would invade Ukraine and that Poland would have to send troops in. Poland now has one of the largest and most modern militaries in Europe and few illusions about Russian’s malign intentions.

When Ukrainian men are gone, who is going to populate this land? Poles?

The President of Poland should commit Polish forces to battle. Put up or shut up.

If Poland wants to fight the Russians directly in the Ukraine then God bless ‘em. If Poland gets directly involved in the Ukraine War in the Ukraine the Polish government cannot rely on America to defend them if Russia attacks Poland directly. If they want in a fight then Poland had better understand that they cannot throw punches while hiding behind Uncle Sam like a little bully in a gang.

My first reaction when I first saw all these lying Russian bots was to get rid of them. But now after some time to think, I have reached another conclusion. There will always be bots like this in life. We need to bow up our backs and call them out and train ourselves on how to let everyone know the truth instead of the lies that they spread.

It appears the West is getting panicked, the recent “ Birth” of a new multi polar world now threatens the West as we know it. The West found out ( under Senile Joes “ leadership “) in two short years they are no longer the King of the Roost.

Nothing lasts forever. Best for the declining West to insist on Peace, trade, and commerce. It appears we need them ( commodities, energy, grains, metals, minerals,etc) more than they need us.
