Current Affairs Ukraine

[NilSatisOptimum]

Be interesting, many invaders over the years have found out the hard way. its one thing to invade a country, but its hard to hold a country that doesn't want to be held - the Russians have that experience historically in Afghanistan, while historically militarily they have also had difficulties logistically and maintaining discipline in extended drawn out campaigns.

It's gone.. We will rinse and repeat in round 10 years time.

Trump being better and wokeism causing this are 2 of the more ridiculous takes going on...

Russia ready to start talks demanding neutrality and a commitment never to join NATO

The Ukrainians will of course choose suicide

lol

After invading, blowing up all manner of stuff and killing hundreds. That’s on top of repeatedly saying they’d never invade.

If they are ready to start talks, get out of Ukraine.

Only in that case, a lunatic surrounded by nothing but incompetent yes-men would have his hand on the American switch. Just my opinion, but having fewer lunatics is always a positive when millions of lives are at stake.

It's always thrown at trump's direction this idea of him starting a war. All he did was de-escalate two countries and look to withdraw troops from a country they didn't need to be in anyway.

Can make all sorts of guesses but on actions, trump was the complete opposite of a war monger.

Aye. He's a traitor.

They’re also upset today at the prospect of Biden pulling some Border Patrol agents off the southern border to go assist Americans and their families trying to get out of Ukraine and into Poland. Imagine being such a cold-hearted ***hole that you’d prefer to leave fellow Americans, some of whom are no doubt women and children, to their fate just so a few migrants don’t manage to find their way into the US.

Like so many journalists, doctors and others in Russia nowadays

“Nazi Germany is ready to start talks demanding the British Empire’s neutrality in Europe in return for them being allowed to maintain their oversea dominions”

Britain chose “suicide” too. And rightly so.

Fake news

This would have been exactly the same if trump was in charge

How do you come to that conclusion?

I don't think Taiwan is comparable tbh as the US has about 60,000 soldiers in Japan ready to respond to a Chinese invasion + their navy is present which atm is far superior to Chinas (although China is making progress towards that). On top of that, the US has an actual agreement + need to defend Taiwan.

The US President has shown himself for what he is.

If China attacked Taiwan today he'd place insignificant sanctions and may even take a nap.

Hindsight? That's your argument?

Two choices: Trump and Biden.

Trump spent his entire Presidency kissing Putin rear end, weakening the US position on Ukraine, and now calls Putin a genius for invading Ukraine. The Afghanistan withdrawal was HIS plan. His trade agreement "success" with China was completely ignored by China.

Pure revisionist nonsense to think anything would be better with that tiny mushroom knob leading the free world.

I mean you dont vote for Biden under any circumstances...or Harris. You certainly dont vote for a party thats behind them either.

Far superior candidates out there.

So far Trump obliterates Biden across the board.

Lets see how Biden handles the coming major stock market crash.

40 winks?

The problem is though if you do that you’re basically saying you’ll accept the human rights violations they commit which is why the sanctions are in place just to ease the cost of oil. I work in CDD and sanctions for a bank and I’d be shocked if this happened. It’s more likely a Western ally like Saudi will just up production I think

Agreed. I was saying the same thing to a colleague earlier.

Also any sanctions removed on Venezuela just open pandoras box.
