Nothing productive to add? Just snotty condescension? You must be extremely intelligent!
Good! These resources much better used in the middle east than being wasted on Ukraine.
Good news. It seems more and more obvious the neither Putin nor Zelenskyy want the war to end.
Linda Graham and Cindy Blumenthal show up in Ukraine the day before the peace talks and Ukraine launches a massive attack on Russia to spoil it.
The day after Ukraine signs the Minks Accords, Boris Johnson shows up in Ukraine and Zelenski reneges.
I don’t believe in coincidences.

I think you are right on the money. Occam’s Razor applies here...
And Pelosi at the beginning of the war...
Protecting our troops not Ukraine’s. Simple choice.
My bet is on Iran
Hey, where are all the Zeepers telling us everyone supports them now? LOL 🤔🤪
