Hi BrisDog,What are your thoughts on Vladimir Putin yebach?
2 great reads on Putin and Russia in general, written by Bill Browder:
1. Red Notice
2. Warning Order
Given Russias position on any negotiation for a peace deal is that all seized territory remains under their control. Only a stooge would fail to see that their strategy is to freeze the conflict at its current lines of contact, hope for trump to pull all aide, which will see Ukraine whither on the vine. Rebuild their shattered forces and then come back in 5 years to take the rest of the country.A peace plan that likely involved Crimea staying in Russian hands, and no certainty on the occupied Russian 'oblasts'? That's not a peace plan, that's Ukraine being forced to secede territory to Russia to keep everyone but themselves happy.
Also US/NATO are using seized Russian assets to begin to offset cost of supplying weapons to Ukraine.
Puppet to whom and what is your definition of a credible news outlet?Zelenski is a puppet. And don't believe everything Sky News & CNN tell you.
Let's revisit Ukraine 10 years from now.
I suspect they will go much the same way as Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan.
Be that as it may, Ukraine doesn't have enough troops to retake their lost territories.
With whom were they going to cut a deal and on what terms?They made a big mistake by not cutting a deal 2 years ago, things will only get worse.
Agree with a lot of what you're saying. My point is that the narrative of the US helping Ukraine out of the goodness of the hearts of career politicians in Washington is delusional.Given Russias position on any negotiation for a peace deal is that all seized territory remains under their control.

It’s just a continuation of the strategy that Russia has used since the beginning of the Russia-Ukraine war that started in 2014. And as they have historically done throwing bodies at obstacles like confetti they can and will play the long game.
All indications are that their offensive of the last 12 months is running out of men, material and steam. They’ll switch to a more defensive posture and see what happens with the US election in November.
Puppet to whom and what is your definition of a credible news outlet?
FWIW. I dont care for either of those outlets. Both have a vested interest in covering the clown show that is Donald Trump.
Sure, if it still exists as its own entity.
Hence their need to fight for their right to autonomy.
That may be so, but they’ve fought what was once the world's largest land army to an attritional standstill thats requiring Russia to expend massive amounts of men and material just to take relatively small amounts of ground across a 1000km front. When most pundits thought they would roll through the entire country in 2 weeks.
With whom were they going to cut a deal and on what terms?
The only deal Russia is and has ever offered is one in which Ukraine becomes their vassal state.
Not surprisingly given the history between the two they said no thanks.
Of course. It's in the US geo political interest to see one of its main rivals weakened. It's also in its and its allies interests to stop Putins Western expansionism back into its former satellite states in Eastern Europe. That they can use Ukraine to do so and they are willing to risk it all so that The US and NATO doesn't get in a hot shooting war or put boots on the ground with Russia makes it all the more advantageous.Agree with a lot of what you're saying. My point is that the narrative of the US helping Ukraine out of the goodness of the hearts of career politicians in Washington is delusional.
Wars are expensive and the horrific cost is borne by the people on the ground. They're so expensive that after WWII it cost Great Britain its vast empire (hurray!) and much of its ill-gotten sovereign wealth. The real alternative is to capitulate to the aggressor.Ukraine is a money making project. Lives lost is just the cost of doing business.
Yes, this one.What ?
Are you back on some weird website ?
Biden is taking Paxlovid, an antiviral pill regimen for Covid.What ?

Huge cheer from the faithful when Vance related how his gran had 18 loaded pistols spread around her house when she passed away.The Republican Convention. Making America Grate Again ..... and again .... and again.
Reckon the Covid is a ruse?Biden is finished. I give it 7 days max.
No. The polls put him and the party in an untenable position. He cannot win and he'll take a huge number of them down with him if he continues.Reckon the Covid is a ruse?
Its a binary choice for President. Impeached, indicted, convicted felon, rapist and fraudster being protected by a corrupted legal system or a decent human being.I wonder if the people in Gaza and Ukraine share your opinion of Biden.
Yeah not as nimble as I used to be , but good news , still got a few covered on here .Biden is taking Paxlovid, an antiviral pill regimen for Covid.
The drug interacts with several other medications, including statins to lower cholesterol. Biden takes Crestor to manage his cholesterol level, according to his health summary.
Biden’s doctor has likely advised him to stop taking the drug during his Paxlovid treatment, per National Institutes of Health guidelines. “They may need to be withheld for longer if the patient is an adult of advanced age or if the interacting medication has a long half-life,” according to the guidance.
Gounder said the most recent studies of Paxlovid use in vaccinated individuals don’t suggest the drug has a large effect on the course of disease in those patients, but added that Biden’s prescription is appropriate.

'We finally beat Medicare.” President Biden's defenders dismissed those words in the first debate as a gaffe. But it was one of his most accurate statements that night. That's because Mr. Biden's administration has overseen major cuts to Medicare—and promises to cut the program even more in a second term.9 July 2024
Please keep up KH, I understand you are a bit slow, but really?
Trump said he won’t help any NATO countries that don’t pay their debts….What are the chances Ukraine is granted membership of Nato before the presidential election![]()
But if they are granted membership and join prior to the presidential election they could apply for financial hardship and work out a payment plan, say 10 dollars a month, should Trump become President.Trump said he won’t help any NATO countries that don’t pay their debts….
If you’re in the Ukraine and you love Biden you’d have to be brain dead. Russia invaded Ukraine in the middle of the Biden presidency and although this was obviously not Biden’s direct doing, the Democrats were the one’s trying to annex Ukraine into NATO. Something that was promised to Russia that would never happen. Doubt this Russian invasion happens under Trump in 2022? You can never tell but amateur international politics by Biden admin.Its a binary choice for President. Impeached, indicted, convicted felon, rapist and fraudster being protected by a corrupted legal system or a decent human being.
Decent human being who is old.
Re Ukraine, yep Im sure they love the guy who got them weapons, not the other guy whos party played politics and tried to stop it, Donny boy is Putins buddy (or in his pocket for less savoury reasons, same/same) and no friend of Ukraine.
Re Gaza, yep Beebee is an arsehat, Joes trying to influence him to be less of an arsehat. How is that Joes fault?
Not amateur. Deliberate.If you’re in the Ukraine and you love Biden you’d have to be brain dead.

If deliberate so many families have lost loved ones and had their lives ruined. Because of political incompetence and an inability to know or understand history.Not amateur. Deliberate.
