Oh, go away.

The 10-15 Zeepers who post about this crap with boring regularity are the only ones who give a damn about it.

"Trump is trying to get the sanctions dropped against Russia so there won't be an incentive to start the next war."

Prayers up.

What a Godsend 47 is.

They get a seat….In the bleachers.

If the Europeans were at all serious, they would have taken the lead on cleaning up this mess. But they aren’t. They want the grift that keeps on grifting.

God you blow hard cold war boomers are insufferable.

First off Ukraine had SOVIET nuclear weapons on their land after the dissolution of that empire. They NEVER had the codes or launch keys to those weapons they were ALWAYS under Soviet control and then the Russian Federation control. Ukraine couldn’t have used those weapons if they wanted too. If they would have kept the nuclear materials Russia would have gone to war to retrieve them full stop. So stop dreaming they every actually held functional deployable weapons they simply did not.

Land is transferred through all of human history via force of violence. This is and will always be that way. The militaries job is to kill people and hold territory. If you cannot physically defend a section of land you don’t own it regardless of what imaginary lines on a map say. Reality is boots on the ground with men who will kill to keep that ground.

The tarrifs and the economy are the only thing that can swing the midterms no one under 50 gives to F’s about Putin “him winning” that’s delusional boomer crap. The fact that common prescription drugs are triple in price matters to way more people. The still high food prices matter. Literally no one I know under 50 cares at all about Putin. They care way more about Israel and Hamas(Palestine) they care about women’s reproductive health, they care about the jobs market and the rampant H1B scan and ghost jobs used to further the H1B scam.

The USSR is gone, Russia is a white western country that is not commuting suicide with Muslims ,woke, Marxism ( they been there done that) or globalhomo. In this regard they are better off than any Western nation including The USA we have half the population that is woke and Marxist neither is tolerated at all in Russia. Weep zeepers Ukraine lost its borders years ago the killing needs to stop but more importantly we need to stop sending weapons and billions to a failed regime that has no chance of winning they never did.

Ahhh I see the anti-Trump dog whistle terms “Donnie” is in full use. You sound like the atypical neocon stooge. How has 50 years of failed diplomacy worked for the so called “experts?” You’d have us enter WWIII over a country that was globally rated as one of if not the most corrupt country on earth for well over a couple decades. We shouldn’t be there. We don’t belong there and if Europe wants to defend them then giddy up cowboy. It’s time for the now Muslim Euroweenies to stand up or stand down.

I will never understand the contempt for Ukraine and the admiration for Putin. Maybe some people just swallow Russian propaganda.

Since Ukraine can’t take the territory back by force, we are where we are.

There’s NO WAY Putin will agree to a ceasefire without concessions from the Ukraine. Recognizing the Crimean peninsula isn’t enough. It’s a sad but necessary reality if you’re serious about ending the war.

To: TexasGator; All

pls think on the following, and try to see if there are any commonalities:

October 1962 - what was the position/demand from the United States?

February 2014 - what was the position/line in the sand (... and repeatedly/clearly stated for years prior...) from the Russian Federation?

The name Valerie Nuland comes to mind. Plenty of others involved, but she was right up there.
