That's a confusing take, you're saying that I can't want something unless I've done it myself? How does that work? Does that mean I would need to have been a policeman or a fireman or a surgeon or a pilot, in order to want those to exist?

It’s very easy for someone to say he stands by ideals, that he’s not man enough to stand up for himself. 

It’s somebody else’s job? Other’s should be doing it. This is a special kind of hypocrisy.

For sure a lot of us don't get ideals tested very often, though when it comes to China, I bet with all have a shit-ton of Chinese stuff in our house. I certainly have some stuff from China that I'm not happy about, which I'm sure you do too, but how do we reconcile that "man enough" comment with that? Are neither of us "man enough" to do something as simple as not buying junk from China? Anyway, maybe there was some confusion in thinking that I wanted to send in troops? I don't want that. 

I try not to purchase anything from China. Yes, I actually take the time to look. I’m not the Average American Amazon shopper. Cheap Chinese shit is cheap, pun intended. 

Why we buy $1 of Communist Chinese Crap is beyond me.

I read an article about 15 years ago titled "saving America 1 light bulb at a time". It talked about how if you take the time while shopping you can actually find items made in USA for the same or just a little more than China. I practice this as much as I can. Or if no American made item I pick a "friendly" country. It seems you do the same.

Whoa…wait a minute…now you all of a sudden have a thinly disguised “I Hate Trump” point to make..again…? 

And you don’t acknowledge the relevance of how there’s a reaction going on here based on the previous 4 Years of Fail? 

Pssssst…Lil Zel has shit all over his own laws…election laws…the rights of his people…and, yes, The Donald called him out on that.

Again, you ARE the defender of The Status Quo.

And all you can do attempt a poorly executed…game of “gotcha”. 

So, let me lay this out for you…in direct response to your question…

“The last 4 years of fail, the pardons, a medal, what does any of it have to do with Trump/Zelensky?”

The LAST FOUR YEARS OF FAIL DELIVERED THIS FUCKING WAR.

Hence, The Donald is having to deal with Lil’ Zel to END THIS FUCKING WAR.

Definitively: THAT is EXACTLY what the fuck this thread is actually about…or…did you forget that amongst all your hatred?

You Can Not Make This Shit Up©️

How about simply having elections? 🤣

Go read up on the subject. There’s a lot of good stuff out there…especially amongst the European media…Sky News…etc. 

He’s not having elections, not popular and not interested in hearing about any of it. He’s utilizing “Marshall Law” to do whatever he pleases including eliminating religious freedoms…like annihilating The Ukrainian Orthodoxy…and other wonderful things…all in the name of “The Fight for Democracy”.

Get this: they’ve created an official “State Church”…for those of us paying attention. 

Did you see my previous video about beating the living shit out of people that don’t want to go to war?

Excuses can and have been made…all the while…everyone is blowing smoke up our asses about “Democracy”.

Back to the subject of the thread…

I watched the entire meeting that Zel had with Trump and Vance. He was there to secure a deal that would collateralize the USA’s further support for HIS COUNTRY…

And he shit the bed.

I have no doubt that we’ll continue to back Ukraine. I have no hysterical crying-game emotions about wither or not we’re staying in and retaining control via our ultimate veto…in…

NATO

Hell, same goes for the U.N. …etc. 

HOWEVER, the USA taking everybodies shit while footing the bill? Well, we finally have someone in The Executive that’s saying…

Fuck that.

Fuck The Status Quo and it’s blind followers. 

 

Manny, that’s a lot of interesting narratives for such a simple question. And you know that he isn’t breaking election laws, of course. 

If the narrative you choose to follow is that Ukraine shouldn’t be under marshal law while under invasion, that’s your choice. But it’s specious at best. And while under marshal law, holding elections would be against the law/constitution. So your assertion about him violating election laws is actually wrong by 180 degrees.

So how do you guys see this playing out / ending up?  If you had to bet your lives-savings on the outcome.  Smile

 

IMO

USA gets it's Ukrainian mineral rights.

Ubin Wackenoff  keeps doing Ubin Wackenoff stuff to the Ukraine. 

The USA reaches out to Ubin Wackenoff and tells him to stop or else... and maybe even gives him a bit of a hand slap.

Ubin Wackeoff laughs at the warning and the hand slap  , then he goes on his nuclear war threat again while broadening  his nuclear doctrine like always.

Then everyone goes back to tip toeing around Ubin Wackenoff -because they don't want a nuke war. 

 Ubin Wackenoff. then goes back to business trying to take what he can in regards to the Baltic states. I also wouldn't put it by him to try to assassinate Zel or Trump. Ubin Wackenoff has done this often to his own political opponents for far far less. His entire legacy in Russia is riding on the outcome of this Ukraine ordeal.

Wow…for starters…

They aren’t having elections as required per their own LAWS…So, there’s always that.

Your intentional “avoidance” of the horrific shit that Zel IS DOING is seemingly intentional? 

You and I have been here before. You gloss over literal “crimes against humanity” by your guy while standing on your…what…

Principles…?

Well, so be it…I’m quite sure I’ve done the same. Mea Culpa…and all that!

Let’s get something very clear between us: the entire concept of this war…this forced conflict…forced by our very own “deep state”…is a fucking  crime in itself.

This little “man in green” is mostly on the right side of things due VASTLY to Evil Vlad’s actions like…oh, I don’t know…

BEING A FUCKING INVADER 

And…yet, at times….even some of Zel’s actions are in the realm of The Fucking Tragic and far less than “Democratic”.

It’s evident that you and I need to discuss the various tangents in our arguments over beer and steak (Texas rules…we must adhere).

So, you…good sir, are hereby challenged to vigorous discussions regarding various answers to the universe!

Here's the actions and reactions being wagered by the dipshits in Europe.

1.) Euro countries let Ukraine join NATO: Russia will launch nukes that night, WW3 starts, nobody wins.
2.) NATO keeps funding Zelensky's BS War campaign, never looking for a real peace deal. Sending more bombs to Russia. Russia finally launches nukes and WW3 starts. Nobody wins.
3.) Zelensky actually makes the peace deal with Russia and USA gets their Minerals deal as payback for AID. Ceasefire commences, and Russia gets the tiny chunk of land they wanted after all. Ukraine remains off the NATO list and a treaty is signed that they cannot join under any circumstances here forth. Not another dime goes to Ukraine's aid if it finds itself in a future conflict with Russia.
4.) Putin finally has enough of the failed negotiations with Zelensky and Russia finally unleashes hell. USA does not respond because this is Zelensky's problem. The USA isn't about to start WW3 for a conflict that was never ours.

 

I'll take option 3.

Option 3 is a fairly tale. Putin has sent his “peace deal” to Zelenskyy 3 times, and refused to negotiate it. 

1. Donbass becomes Russia

2. Zelenskyy no longer president

3. Ukraine can never join NATO, must sign neutrality agreements and cannot negotiate defence assurances from other countries. 

4. Ukraine must drop military to 50,000 people

5. Any weapon with more than 20kms range must be destroyed and/or turned over to Putin


This would leave Ukraine completely defenceless when Putin decides to annex the rest of Ukraine. Worse, Ukraine’s allies wouldn’t be able to help. 

So tell me, oh brilliant one, if your country was under attack, would you sign this deal in the name of “peace”?

No, it's that you want to compare apples to oranges. You want to act like we wouldn't fight ourselves. We are supplying munitions and money to Ukraine for a war they can't win. I feel bad for the Ukraineing people, but their leader is delusional

Zelenskyy has 2 choices right now. 

Fight or die. 

Russia has violated 25 ceasefires since 2014. A deal doesn’t mean shit to him.

Interesting that none of the agreements in relation to the end of the Cold War or the reunification of Germany mention any restrictions on NATO expansion. 

You’re not finding the truth beyond the official narrative, you’re simply parroting the opposing point of view, in this case, Russian Propaganda. 

And for those who say Gorbachev was given a verbal promise, here’s some free business advice. Always get it in writing!

Of course, Zoellick is one person. Perhaps he did not have complete knowledge. I believe he is described as a Neocon too.

Ubin Wackeoff laughs at the warning and the hand slap  , then he goes on his nuclear war threat again while broadening  his nuclear doctrine like always.

Then everyone goes back to tip toeing around Ubin Wackenoff -because they don't want a nuke war. 

 Ubin Wackenoff. then goes back to business trying to take what he can in regards to the Baltic states. I also wouldn't put it by him to try to assassinate Zel or Trump. Ubin Wackenoff has done this often to his own political opponents for far far less. His entire legacy in Russia is riding on the outcome of this Ukraine ordeal.

 

I think this is a pretty accurate summary of what is likely to happen.

I don’t see any peace that is made as being as anything but temporary.

Here's the actions and reactions being wagered by the dipshits in Europe.

1.) Euro countries let Ukraine join NATO: Russia will launch nukes that night, WW3 starts, nobody wins.
2.) NATO keeps funding Zelensky's BS War campaign, never looking for a real peace deal. Sending more bombs to Russia. Russia finally launches nukes and WW3 starts. Nobody wins.
3.) Zelensky actually makes the peace deal with Russia and USA gets their Minerals deal as payback for AID. Ceasefire commences, and Russia gets the tiny chunk of land they wanted after all. Ukraine remains off the NATO list and a treaty is signed that they cannot join under any circumstances here forth. Not another dime goes to Ukraine's aid if it finds itself in a future conflict with Russia.
4.) Putin finally has enough of the failed negotiations with Zelensky and Russia finally unleashes hell. USA does not respond because this is Zelensky's problem. The USA isn't about to start WW3 for a conflict that was never ours.

 

I'll take option 3.

Putin did shit on every agreement, ceasefire, whatever in the past. As he didn't reach his goals in ukraine yet, why do you think he will stop the war this time? 

Especially since the agreement literally says: sign here for ceasefire, but if you don't adhere to your part of the agreement it, we don't care - not our business.

Heres a take on this from the Irish perspective.

We fought a war with ourselves for 30 years. What we learned is: no ones a winner in war.

I have 3 generations of Ukrainians living with me. I took them in over a year ago when they finally fled the fighting. (I had 3 more before that). Dont believe everything you hear in the media. 

Is Ukraine corrupt, yes it very much is. My Ukrainians hated the corruption & some of the personal stories they tell are heart wrenching. They are working on it but it will take a generation or 2 to change social norms & corruption will always exist. Its funny how a few Americans are critical or Ukraine, yet daily we get updates from Doge around billions in American fraud. Every country in the world has mega frauds. Look at the jumbo motocross teams for eg.

On the war, the Ukrainians want peace & they are prepared to give up land for it. But, they want a lasting peace. 
Russia broke the Budapest Memorandum signed in 1994. ( for those who dont know the US pressured Ukraine to give its nukes to russia because they were afraid Ukraine could become a failed state. The us then gave security assurances). How did that work out for Ukraine? Further peace deaks then broken by russia in later years. 

If you were Ukraine you will want to join nato to prevent further war. Why do people accuse zelenzy of wanting to start world war 3? Then in the next breath they tell u world war 3 will never be fought because it cannot be won! Trump is a business man. He is a shark. Ukraine is weak & trump can swoop in & steal all there minerals & make the elite in us more wealthy. Then is greenland next? Lol. Ukrainian minerals should be used by Ukraine to rebuild after the wars over.

Anyway, if you were z would you just take trumps word that Russia will never invade again or do you want a proper assurance this time that the US wont walk away, like they did the 1994? Or like they did to our partners in Afganistan?

Russia is more of a threat than many realise. Look at Belarus. The election was rigged to put a puppet in power. Look at whats happening in Georgia. Look at russian influence in Romania. Or the cyber attacks, & chemical assassinations on uk streets. 

Trump is a smart man. His refusal to pay has forced all the Euro governments to pay up to support Ukraine. For too long we have sat back & relied on the us. Trump has got what he wanted in a round about way. & now that frees up American resources to contain china.

Interesting that none of the agreements in relation to the end of the Cold War or the reunification of Germany mention any restrictions on NATO expansion. 

You’re not finding the truth beyond the official narrative, you’re simply parroting the opposing point of view, in this case, Russian Propaganda. 

And for those who say Gorbachev was given a verbal promise, here’s some free business advice. Always get it in writing! 


https://hls.harvard.edu/today/there-was-no-promise-not-to-enlarge-nato/

😂😂😂the truth is that Russia made it clear there was a red line, there were many, many warnings about this and the west still persisted. How’s that for your “truth”?????

Where did I say there was an official agreement to not expand NATO???

This is a classic example of FAFO and Ukraine was the one that found out out because the west gave it a helping hand.

News flash, the US does exactly the same thing as Russia when it comes to influencing elections, more so I’d say. The whole reason Georgia got into a conflict with Russia was because they had a US puppet in power. Said puppet then fled to Ukraine and helped with the Maiden overthrow.

No, it's that you want to compare apples to oranges. You want to act like we wouldn't fight ourselves. We are supplying munitions and money to Ukraine for a war they can't win. I feel bad for the Ukraineing people, but their leader is delusional

Zelenskyy has 2 choices right now. 

Fight or die. 

Russia has violated 25 ceasefires since 2014. A deal doesn’t mean shit to him. 

So it serms like a good idea for us to keep shoveling billions of dollars unending into that incinerator of misery? Mortgaging the USA's childrens future? What is the worse that could happen, Putin lead Ukraine rather than Zelensky? Russia not this great foe of ours our military industrial complex leads us to believe, the Euro union dwarfs it's GDP, let alone ours.
