The War in Ukraine

Oh they will agree to a peace plan all right. The highlighted is the problem. They have never adhered to any agreement
In the Russkiy Mir you are required to use any and all meas to wage and win a war. Peace is just a phase of a war until your goals have been met. Lying or promising/ignoring whatever simply has no moral meaning - they are just words. Tools to use to further your path to victory.
 
but he's a tough guy, a master negotiator, he's playing 4d chess, all you smooth brains just don't understand him. /sarscasm obviously

Putin has him on a leash.
i think Trump just doesnt care. Hes already made his deals and is probably into big spheres of influence
 
Somebody on another forum mused that this was the Yalta conference 2.0; Russia and the US carving up Europe with a few other marginal players scattered around for appearances.
and Canada to the US and Taiwan to China etc.....

one big difference is that Russia has almost nothing to mark its place at the table unlike in WW2

One of whom was sick and would be dead in two months.
 
So you’re saying there is a chance.

I input his age as a healthy ( won't release his medical report ) non-smoker to get a quote for a monthly rate on Life Insurance, and received this reply,

Life Insurance
After assessing the information you provided, we have determined that you do not qualify for this coverage.

Edit to add: That was for a healthy 82 year old ( which he will be in 2028 ) non-smoker.

For a man his current age, the quote was $155.00/month ( CDN ) for a $10,000 policy.
 
I suspect a lot of his idiotic grandstanding is designed to push others to supporting Ukraine.
I agree with the first part but not with the second. Trump is a grandstanding idiot. He also has a lot of yes men and bought media that will claim whatever happens was the plan all along. Russian propaganda works the same way. Trump has been exactly the same since the 80s: a relentlessly self promoting grifter who preys on the ignorant and the careless. Just because better people than him step in to fix the problems he creates doesn't mean he's some kind of master manipulator.
 
Well, we now know who's names have been added to the lists and are up for a knock on the door in the middle of the night to be led away quietly while their neighbors pretend to know nothing.
1) I deleted the superfluous U you had in neighbor ;)
2) How to start a Civil War in the US in one easy step...

I won't derail the thread further.
 

Well, actually...

FDR did require the UK to turn over a few of their overseas possessions in exchange for a few clapped out destroyers, thus taking advantage of the dire straits the Germans had put the UK into with their U-Boat fleet ...

 
i think thats a bit of an overreaction to our situation but if I was Poland, SK, Japan, Taiwan, Ukraine Id be getting on it
I'd like to think that Poland and Ukraine are working on something together, quite possibly with the Baltic states. Between the 5 of them I have zero doubt that they have enough 60+ year old's with enough experience, patriotism, old note books and backing to make it happen. Access to enough enriched uranium might be a bit of a stumbling block but it shouldn't stop them.
