You were and remain...wrong. trying to deflect from your own poor judgment and frankly...stoopid analysis of the situation from the very first stoopid post you made about this war. You are a typical semi-conscious bobblehead who's reality is planted in his empty skull by not possessing the capacity to question the stoopid proclamations made by known liars. Today Ukraine is losing multiple villages daily. They have no military grunts left. Exactly as I and countless others realized...while you made stoopid statements. Now...as Ukraine is facing making a deal or losing everything...your response is not to finally see reality...but to double down on stoopid. Meh...limited intellectual capacity is only one of your shortcomings... I'm quite sure. Have a warm and fuzzy day...loser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way out of this conflict. Period. There is no way Ukraine wins. This is essentially the west trying to deplete Russia as much as possible, by keeping them entangled in this war as long as they possibly can. There is no possibility of any advancement, any regaining of land. Russia has heavily booby trapped the land they have acquired, making it suicide for Ukraine to do anything about it, without heavy handed air support. Zelensky is aware of this, even conceding to this. The west will eventually tire from pouring billions into this conflict, with zero gains being made. Ultimately, what should have happened from the onset, will be how this comes to an end. Any leader who talks Ukraine, without an end game, isn't in support of Ukraine. They're in support of trying to fight Russia via Ukraine and inflict as much loss to them as they possibly can, while aware this is a futility drill. Ukraine independence was supposed to be guaranteed by the Budapest Memorandum signed by Ukraine, Russia, the US and UK. It's obvious that the only guarantees that stand up are those backed by force.

If you look back you will see that I don't care who "wins" as I don't care for either Russia or Ukraine. What I do care about is common sense and lives. But realistically Ukraine has never stood a chance of "winning" this war without NATO troops. It's always been a simple case of attrition. Which is exactly what we are seeing now. I'm sorry if it rubs you the wrong way to see someone acknowledge basic reality, but it is and always has been...what it is. NATO should have stayed the hell out of this. It's cost way too much at this time with nations trying to deal with recovering from the Rona spending spree they went on. And a peace deal was being negotiated until Boris Johnson showed up. Why? For money to the military-industrial complex? This whole charade has been a fool's errand. In a few days, Zelinsky is supposed to be done his extended term and elections are supposed to happen. There will be no election though... In the great democracy of Ukraine. Edited May 16 by Nationalist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I am just using your silly analogy to make it more accurate to what you are doing here. It bothers me that any country engages in a war of aggression to conquer another like Russia is doing. Russia is also a geopolitical foe, and it is in our strategic interest to oppose their aggression. We also have longstanding commitments to Ukraine I think we should honor. In general, as Super Power America is, I support doing what is reasonable to help promote freedom and stability around the globe from a moral and strategic standpoint. No, I do not fear a massive Russian Invasion at this time. I do fear Russia will continue onto other weaker nations and continue pushing where they can get away with it. I don't know what you are getting at with your question on Democracy. I recognize Russia for what they are, and how they work against us in the world and how they are a geopolitical foe to a great degree. No, I do not love Ukraine, but I value their role as being an independent country free from being conquered by Russia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this thread my initial post reads... Quote Meh...a treaty was inevitable. Only those who want a proxy war thought otherwise. They were wrong. A treaty is still inevitable...even more so today. In another related thread my initial post reads... Quote Didn't those eastern provinces just hold yet another referendum and DEMOC4ATICLY vote to leave Ukraine? Yes they did...for the second time. Where all all the great defenders of DEMOCRACY now? Ignoring their claims about DEMOCRACY...more Libbie hypocrisy. Excusing the type-o made back then...is this true? Yup. About this time began silly accusations, made out of frustration I must surmise, that I'm some sort of "Putin Lover". LOL...the accusations of dim-wits who have lost the argument. Fact: Whether Russia was justified in this invasion or not, the outcome has always been predetermined. Ukraine could never win a war of attrition with Russia. Fact: A peace treaty was being negotiated in early 2022 and a visit from Johnson put an end to that. Fact: NATO was not and remains not willing to send national military troops to Ukraine. Fact: Ukraine is now out of military personnel and is ceding territory quickly. Fact: The Ukrainian government is falling apart and Zelinsky's leadership is being openly challenged. Conclusion: Whether by design or by accident...NATO has hung Ukraine out to dry. Or die as the case may be. Fun Result: I get to gloat about having been correct in my predictions made based on cold reality...and you get to eat crow. I think if you put lots of salt and ketchup on your crow, you might even be able to enjoy it. Edited May 17 by Nationalist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonbox Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 So many of the "facts" you list...that just aren't facts. 🤣 I can certainly grant you that the war will end with some sort of peace treaty, and that NATO troops aren't going in, but you're stating the obvious. Everything else you've said is just your regular rootin' for Putin, rife with your regular contradictions and cluelessness. If you think Ukraine is rapidly ceding territory, you might want to compare a map of the frontlines in late 2022 to one today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, you are back to not answering my questions or responding to all of what I post again. You have as much influence on world events with Russia here as you do with Ukraine or US policy. And to that point, you can support US/Ukraine policy that puts more pressure on Russia to stop the war if that is what you are really after here. That is my point in saying this, that you are ignoring Russia and the policy you do support plays into what Russia wants... why, it is almost as if you support Russia here and you do cheer for them to win. So again, what are your motives? Why do you continue to push inaccurate assertions and things that might as well be Russian propaganda?

This is not a fact, its speculation on your part at best, not backed up by what we know happened. This is your buying into some phony pro-Russia narrative that they wanted peace and if only Johnson hadn't blown up the deal. The problem is that this isn't what happened at all. 3 hours ago, Nationalist said: Fact: Ukraine is now out of military personnel and is ceding territory quickly. If Ukraine was out of military personnel, Russia would have already conquered them. What you likely meant to say is that they are out of reserves or maybe out of recruits... who knows, but those are for more accurate. Either way, you are wrong. Ukraine is actively working to replenish their ranks and has been doing so for months now, but they are certainly behind the curve to some degree. It is not perfect, they are struggling, but it certainly is not "out of military personnel" as you claim. Your so-called "facts" are anything but... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
