:shock: Your brain's locked up. I should have guessed. What a shame. :lol: Of course we all knew you didn't have it in you to actually try to deal with the situation I may have overestimated your intellectual abilities. Sorry about that. Carry on as you are. Wonder what people like you have to gain...

"Let's say Russia returns to its old borders, and Ukraine agrees not to join NATO." Those were my words. What part of that is too hard for you to understand? All of it? Let's try again Mr. Head-in-the-sand, Explain to the Ukrainians why they should give up on the occupied parts of their c...

Go back and read my first proposal again, Miss I-Don't-Hear. :lol: Let's try again Mr. Head-in-the-sand, Explain to the Ukrainians why they should give up on the occupied parts of their country? "Let's say Russia returns to its old borders, and Ukraine agrees not to join NATO." Those were...

That is the main issue: who's doing it. :roll: You'll have to do that. It's nothing close to anything I proposed. Go back and read, if you forgot what the first proposal was. Or make your own case for them to give up parts of their country, since you seem to think that's what's involved: I certainl...

"We" don't need to. There's only one party in charge, right now. It's 100% up to them, at the moment. That may change. When it does, we'll see. Yeah yeah back to the main issue: That is the main issue: who's doing it. Explain to the Ukrainians why they should give up on the occupied parts...

If we want to argue Republican vs Democrat,... "We" don't need to. There's only one party in charge, right now. It's 100% up to them, at the moment. That may change. When it does, we'll see. Yeah yeah back to the main issue: Explain to the Ukrainians why they should give up on the occupie...

But you treated them like religions, and you do live in the US. :D 0/2 Nobody else was in charge of NATO. Nobody else is supposed to be trying to settle the war and is not, either. As the saying goes, "By their deeds you shall know them." If we want to argue Republican vs Democrat, Putin ...

:lol: Not in this case. If you think Dem and Repub are "religions," you need your head read. And just to really disappoint you, I don't live in your country, have never been either a Dem or a Repub, and won't be voting for either. So you're just about as wildly wrong as a person can be. B...

Read carefully. How they react shows what BOTH SIDES actually want. Your assumption is that Putin won't take a nice, modest "win." Maybe that's right, and maybe because he feels he's winning and wants more. Or maybe you're wrong. Maybe he'd be happy to get out of a jam...particularly if i...

A friend of Ukrainians would want an immediate end to the war, and the restoration of traditional Ukrainian territory. A true friend of Ukraine would already have peace talks ongoing, and a plan for less-that-total-annihilation of their opponent. A true friend of Ukraine would not be supporting eit...

That's not what the Dems were saying...until they were caught blatantly lying about that, of course. Of course, they knew what their own motives were, so truth wasn't required, apparently. But there are also Repubs who don't want the war to end. Any politician who still supports it can enjoy the gr...

See, this is precisely the problem. As the above, nobody in the Biden admin apparently has any idea how to negotiate a peace. They think they have to push this war to "regime change," which means that lots more Ukrainians, Russians and potentially Americans end up dead. And they can't eve...

That's good news. They'll be ending it today, then. Sure, once you lead by example and give Putin your firstborn or at least some of your organs, the Ukrainians will know what to do too.

We know that they do. It's very simple: they take in the taxes, trumpeting "patriotism" and "making the world free." The taxes are used to buy billions in munitions from the military-industrial complex. The money can no longer be accounted for then, since it's 'invested' in thin...
