Huh. Meanwhile I see all kinds of posts cheering over the bombing of Russia's nuclear bombers (which aren't being used in the conflict btw), as some kind of a military tactical genius stroke by Ukraine. And Russia is now defeated and on the run. Curious isn't it, that Russia hasn't changed their negotiating position even one iota.
What a farce! There have to be 50 people around that table. Nothing will be accomplished unless and until Trump puts Zelensky and Putin in a room with him and knocks them around unttil they sign the pace agreement he wants.
Putin refuses to share a room with Zelensky, seeing him as an illegitimate leader whose signature holds no real weight. In his view, any agreement signed by Zelensky could be swiftly dismantled once Ukraine holds elections and a new leader emerges—free to rewrite the rules as they see fit. With Trump absent from the global stage, there will be no one to object.
Russia has learned a hard lesson from the fate of the previous Minsk agreements and Baker’s unfulfilled assurances: agreements with the West are worthless without concrete, practical guarantees. Among those guarantees, from Moscow’s perspective, would be NATO’s firm commitment to exclude Ukraine from its ranks, official recognition of Russia’s territorial acquisitions, and the transformation of Ukraine into a neutral state akin to Switzerland in Eastern Europe.
Demographically, Ukraine cannot win this war, the population differential is just too great. Two things about this conflict that I think about:
1. I'm old enough to remember when we forced the Soviets to remove their missiles from Cuba because they were too close. Putin has the same POV about Ukraine joining UN.
2. Also, look up the Chinese Winter Offensive in Novemeber 1950, when a US/NATO "certain victory" in Korea was repulsed by hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops flooding across the border into North Korea.

Those dunderheads don’t realize what a major attack against Russia would cause to happen to them.
Also, they’re completely ignoring he storm of missiles Putin has launched at Ukraine since then.
P.S. How many dozens of times has Russia been defeated and on the run?
They still have plenty of MISSILES dumbasses. More than us I’m sure.
The only people who want this war to continue are making money from it!
I fully agree. The handlers of Zelensky want to keep the War going on until who knows.
This was all instigated by the Obama Camp & will continue until??
No more $$$ from our Treasury. Let the EU be stupid enough to fund this disaster

Someone needs to drop a drone on Lindsey Graham's head.....to wake up that jackassian RINO.

For all love, Ukraine, this is the End Game; lay your King over, for Checkmate ensues.
Don’t they still have enough missiles to wipe out all life on Earth many times over?
