Eleven months ago when Russia began moving mechanized vehicles within 15 or 20 miles of Russia-Ukraine border, it was an opportunity for President Z to negotiate a great deal.
Why should Ukraine negotiate anything with Russia? Their territory has been invaded.
You can't allow an enemy to take your territory and then 'negotiate' when you've already lost something.
Why do people continue to pretend that Russia and Ukraine are in any way equal or that morality has any power in geopolitics?
Eleven months ago when Russia began moving mechanized vehicles within 15 or 20 miles of Russia-Ukraine border, it was an opportunity for President Z to negotiate a great deal. Eleven months ago, not one dead Ukrainian in Russia-Ukraine Conflict. I don't sense Speaker Pelosi is or was a natural rabid warmonger but some in her party like Congressperson Jackie Spierer (sp?) was losing her mind. There were others. Spierer convinced other Democrats and Nancy P, The Most prolific Democrat fundraiser ever has/had a way of turning otherwise radical Democrats into limousine liberals. We certainly are past peak Nancy Pelosi power. Certainly no more escalation. Time for serious unconditional negotiations pro-Ukrainian fantastics.
Russia had lost territory since March 1st. Ukraine now occupies thousands of square kilometers of land that Russia considers its own. Russia keeps retreating from the front lines, losing hundreds of “soldiers” per day, and has no way of gaining momentum, so uses Iranian drones to attack civilians far from the front lines. Putin should negotiate now, while Moscow is still part of Russia.
Once in a very rare while great leaders emerge who have a vision of a cooperative world where countries have autonomy and arent just mercilessly controlled by bullying powers. Gorby was like this. So was Kennedy. Gorby felt the soviet union was an unfair bully to a lot of countries in the ussr. Kennedy felt the US was to south america. Nobody since. Possibly never again.
The last Ice Age ended as the ice receded from the equator north and due to the rotation of the Earth from East to West. Mankind originated in Kenya and spread from the equator to East Asia and South Africa, then the way the wind blows across to West Asia (Europe).
Asia is in two camps now. West Asia are in NATO. Central Asia, Middle East, and East Asia are in SCO.

Because millions could freeze to death during the winter? Because Ukraine is running out of troops? Because the USA and UK is running out of money? Because Russia would probably be prepared to accept reality and agree to a permanent settlement ,with them keeping the Russian majority regions of Donestk and Crimea?
I have spent a winter in the Ukraine, and it's no joke even when you're staying in a 5 star hotel.

Peter The Great tried to cull Mongol and Hun blood from the vast expanse of Russia and Slavic lands. He went berserk will Oriental hatred killing millions who looked Asian including his own children, siblings, soldiers, generals, etc. It didn't work. Witness Russia today as it is unifying the Oriental-Slavs inside a Slavic Red Line blocking the US and NATO. The population of Russia is gearing up for the 100 year plan. For Russia war will be good for economic growth. Russia has many neighboring key allies that are helping re-create the Khanates as they once dominated Europe.
Don't be mad at me that I stated on here three or four months ago when Democrats lose the House, U.S. will eventually decrease funding Ukraine Conflict. Too many pro-Ukrainian fantastics think supporting Ukraine is the same thing as supporting U.S. Why aren't you fighting for what you believe in Ukraine, chicken hawk?
You want to appease an invading dictator like Putin. Basically you want him to bend you over and take you for all your worth, which isn't much.
How about when US invaded Iraq? Afghanitan? Libya? Syria? Yemen?
From what I saw on the map Ukraine looked indefensible. But now that I've looked more closely it has several North-South rivers that can be fortified against Eastern invaders.
They can't shoot down all of the missiles. And didn't America forbid them from using missiles on Russian territory for fear of escalation? And some American Dems and Republicans oppose arming Ukraine? Sad.
Ukraine can't do anything to put pressure on Russia it seems, the war is completely 1 sided.
Very sad that civilians are dying every day. A 2 day old baby died the other day along with a 17 year old girl.
If Putin is allowed to destroy Ukraine, he won't stop there. Why is the world not confronting this b*stard?
