Being ready for a serious conversation yet rejecting a cease-fire and negotiations now is not being serious about peace. He was never serious about peace and will never be. Incredible you cherry-picked the last sentence and took it to heart.
Hard to swallow pill incoming- maybe the time to sit down and talk peace was when things were stalemated instead of insisting (nonsensically) that the only option for Ukraine was total victory (whatever that meant).
It’s an actual quote. Saw it in the Telegraph but it’s all over the place. Why would I need to make it up?
Because they’re ethnic Russians who settled in Moldova and Ukraine when the USSR existed. There have been a lot of ethnic Mexicans who have settled in the US. Should they be allowed to take part of America and merge with Mexico?
Evil? Yes. Genius? No. No genius would subjugate his “people” and bleed them dry (quite literally in the trenches in Ukraine) in order to satisfy his personal lust for power.
I'd agree with you except for the fact that Zelensky was elected to stop the war in the Donbas. The Azov style militias ignored him and kept killing those "russians". If people from Boston were going down to New Mexico and killing tons of ethnic Mexicans and nobody in the US govt did anything to stop it and actually aided them with money and weapons... I could see them wanting to leave the US and become part of Mexico. You are leaving the killings and burnings out though.
I'd need to see the exact scenario. I mean... if dems keep going the way they are I have no intention of letting NY and Cali politics run my personal life. I'd likely want to secede too. We broke away from Britain after all... Was that wrong?
Nevermind stating the obvious... it is my understanding of American history at least, that we won that land by invading Mexico, taking Texas who desired independence from Mexico and then the rest of the American Southwest in much the same way Putin did in Crimea, who likewise desired independence from Ukraine, and then Donbas.
Winning? In Kursk and Belgorod Oblasts, Russia can’t even defend their own villages and towns from being shelled or cross-border raids, nor can they defend against UAV attacks against their refineries which is biting into their revenue and jacking up gas prices after India cut them off. Their momentum from a few weeks ago has completely stopped now that ammo is flowing again.
Yep. there is an interview of Zelensky early on being asked about the militias in the east.. and Zelensky said "Azov is Azov. I can't do anything about them".... He knew that they would kill him if he tried to negotiate peace.
Why would you identify as Russian if you're live in Moldova anymore than if you were living in Poland or Slovakia or other east Europe countries under Soviet control?? Senseless statement to me. Anyone under 40 wouldn't remember being Soviet. That's a huge majority.
Yep. We should fund $100billion more and maybe they can lose Kyiv but blow up 5 Russian boats.
Meaning well over a majority are under age 40. That would translate to roughly 57% under 40. Thanks.

Israel not slaughtering civilians. Those deaths are causalities of war, not due to purposeful attacks.
I said at the very outset (in the now deleted thread) that we needed to find a way to end this war quickly, and not prolong it, because war has a way of producing completely unanticipated and dangerous results. (Nothing special about that, as anybody who’s read book could tell you).
