Of course Russian aggression is Russia's fault. Whose saying it isn't? But if you are telling your opposition that if X is crossed there will be retaliation and once they do cross X nothing is done.........Then the madman has seen your play is meaningless. Let be honest here. talk of 3 years is nonsense. This war started in 2014 when Russia annexed Crimea with not a lot more than a wimper of discontent from Europe or the US! Any peace deal is not going to get the Crimea nor the other "now annexed" areas back. If the only acceptable result is the whole of the Ukraine's territory to be restored then we are at war. 10 years late but we are already at war. No negotiations are gonna work on that part. This is a "invade Poland and we are at war" moment! And yes Trump has no idea how to solve that one in his deals. If Ukraine territory is manditory then we should prepare for war now!
She posted 4 times about it. no swear words even. Just questioning and suggesting resignation. My point is the police should have just "pfft" at it and spent that time going after criminals.
Maybe, but my point is that it is a narrative of ‘no free speech’ that you are getting sucked into which is not really true. And the main lie is that we are failing in someway for not having the American style free speech, which is abhorrent.
It is a question of how much they get back. Trump seemed to want to give it all. That is not acceptable. And telling Ukraine they have lost, when Russia is dying a death financially, undermines their ability to get that land back.
There are always winkers around saying sh1t they shouldn;t say. Such is life. We should be dealing with problems not "nasty tongues." There is so much we need focus on and it isn't folks that say nasty stuff online. We keep expanding laws to encapsulate speech instead of intent. And all while this goes on we seem to not be able to actually get the "intent" ones.
Without war they are not getting anything back. That is pretty obvious. And Putin (like Stalin) will not care a jot about Russia dying financially. He will be fed. The oligarchs will be fed. Get the press gangs out we need more bodies. The guy is mental.
Yeah agree about Crimea. But if Russia want to keep the land they stole, then the economic sanctions against them can stay in place forever.
Well then we fund Ukraine until his people rise up. Germany are giving them long range missiles. That will help.
Do you really think his people will rise up? We've heard this from talking heads for a long time now! If you think the MAGA lot are bad for lapping up what their leader does/says...........do you really think a real dictator in a real dictatorship is gonna see his people rise up? EDIT:Apologies for all these typos. I'm drinking some beer that i found out is gay. lol. Brooklyn Brewery Stonewall Session IPA ha, ha. Going down well <sorry pun there
I think when the people starve, they lose respect for their leaders. And they will start to starve. I think Russia is up to 40% gdp on the war now. That is unsustainable.
Well if that is the case we wait it out another 3 years then and suck up the deaths to Ukrainians. Hopefully they are happy with that sacrifice.
He should have worn a suit to the White House too, which apparently he was advised to do. Everyone has to play the game sometimes, however trivial that may seem.
You know we all agree the suit snipe was the stupidest of the lot! Would they say that to Modi? Or Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud. Of course not. IT was a cheap shot from an absolute idiot that will have that paraded to him for the rest of his life. "We're talking major world affairs ad you come up with "do you own a suit?"
Which is why the deal is all about US having "an interest" in property within the Ukraine so that by default they are not there as NATO, they are there to protect US property. And once Trump has gone (don't worry he will be gone in a few years) that "US interest" will remain.
You still haven’t answered the fact Putin is offering the same minerals in the deal. So how does it protect Ukraine? Also, when British companies in Africa saw regime change happening, did they stop it or just suck up to the new guys?
