Ukraine anxious after Biden’s exit from race, as Russia war rages

Biden’s unflinching support has been central to Ukraine’s ability to defend itself against Russia. Now with him out, and Trump the frontrunner, Kyiv faces an uncertain future.

Kyiv, Ukraine – No US president has known Ukraine better than Joe Biden.

While serving as Barack Obama’s vice president, he visited Kyiv six times – and joked that he had spent more time on the phone with then-Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko than with his own wife Jill.

+++++++++++++++

Your dang right about that!

The Ukrainian people are hopeful that Trump can finally bring peace to their country! They have been pleading for this NOT NATO!

 The corrupt Ukrainian government that the Biden family milked for millions while he was VP and has benefited greatly from this war, along with their dictator/double crossing, NATO puppet, Zelensky are justifiably concerned, now that Biden, "the Big Guy" abusing his corrupt power from the most powerful country in the world to exploit Ukraine for his self serving agenda..........WILL BE GONE!

FINALLY! But not until has has  already reeked so much damage to Ukraine, Russia, the world and the US for his self serving agenda in cahoots with diabolical NATO...........as well as enriched the Biden family!

YW, Larry!

Biden at least salvaged his legacy, at least what the biased historians want to write about him……there’s plenty of good stuff. 

I’ll have to check to see what the longest lasting careers have been in politics to see where he compares. 

Whether you agree with them or not, Biden did have an extremely long list of achievements during his career, many were legit.

He and Hunter(the smartest man he knows) were clever enough to rake in millions from Ukraine and others by extorting money by selling Joe's influence and making threats to generate Biden family money or else lose United States tax payer funded support……..and they got away with it as Hunter, illegally acting as an unregistered  foreign lobbyist and using money laundering schemes with fake/shell  companies and numerous bank accounts with an end point of Biden family members.

I’m not an R and don’t buy into conspiracy theories.

When the facts/evidence support it, it’s not a conspiracy theory.
It’s called “the truth”

corruption in politics is rampant but the Bidens were especially creative, using Hunters 10 year career as a powerful US lobbyist because of his powerful daddy……and joe being put in charge of fighting Ukraine corruption by using our funding to incentivize, one of the most corrupt counties/governments in the world to get rid of the dishonest politicians …..which is also what Zelensky promised his people to get elected, as well as to negotiate for peace with Russia.

How ironic, that the 2 most important players, elected and appointed in the last decade+  to help  Ukraine to fight corruption and seek peace with Russia, completely did a 180 and EXPLOITED the corruption for their self serving interests.

Making the corruption worse. Cancelling democratic elections to make Zelensky a dictator, so that he can sacrifice/send brave Ukrainian soldiers on suicide missions for his more important ……NATO puppet/salesman job……with impunity!

History will NOT note Joe Biden’s key role in this.

regardless, there is a near 0 chance that Russia would ever have invaded Ukraine with trump as president.

Trump would have told Putin and NATO……ok, we agree with Putins demand that NATOs relentless expansion to surround and provoke Russia will NOT happen if NATO wants the US to keep dishing out most of its support.

No war.

Ukraine saved, losing no more land.

600,000 less dead people ALMOST A MILLION LESS CASUALTIES(all of them with family members in the millions suffering their losses)

No 1 trillion in losses In ukraine.

the US would have $200,000,000,000 to use for something GOOD!
that’s the Biden that I’ll remember.

Facing difficult frontline reality and the prospect of Trump in the White House, Zelensky hints at negotiations with Russia   https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/20/europe/ukraine-zelensky-uncertainty-russia-negotiations-intl/index.html

While the progress Russian troops are making in eastern Ukraine has slowed significantly since US weapons started arriving in the country in May, it has not stopped entirely. Russia is still gaining territory, albeit at a much slower pace.

Speaking to reporters on Monday, Zelensky said Ukraine was not receiving enough Western assistance to win the war, pointing out that its outcome will be determined way beyond Ukraine’s borders.

+++++++++++++

That was always going to be the case.

UKRAINE IS A BOTTOMLESS MONEY PIT!

So give Ukrainians what they want......peace with Russia and NATO, give up on your war to expand into Ukraine.

And restore elections and the democracy, so that dictator Zelensky can be voted out.

The war has cost Ukraine everything. (all they wanted was PEACE with Russia and to stop this corruption). Russia has lost even more. The US has lost $200,000,000,000. The world has been destabilized. Our enemies have increased. The demise of the US Dollar as a global currency has been accelerated. Global, supply side inflation has gone up.

But we keep getting fed more propaganda about Ukraine winning the war.

Here were are, almost 2.5 years later after Zelensky shut down negotiations with Putin, who only wanted Ukraine to agree to NOT join NATO.  Look at the map below. Where on this reality map, does it look like Ukraine is winning anything or has the chance to win anything? Keep in mind, over half their original army is either dead or permanently disabled. How can anybody believe they are going to win this war?

And Zelensky claims that he's not winning because the West isn't sending him enough weapons. 

For Pete's sake, this delusional, psycopath/NATO puppet killed off much of his army already by sending his brave soldiers on suicide missions. Now, he wants to fight until the last blood of brave Ukrainian soldier's blood has been shed and he hopes, NATO will send in their troops to bail him out.

As I've been insisting for over a year now: RUSSIA ALREADY WON THE WAR AGAINST UKRAINE BY EVERY REASONABLE STANDARD!!!

The longer Ukraine fights after losing, the more land it keeps losing as well as massive additional  casualties on both sides.

Look at this map below.  It's 99.9% Russian controlled, man! And Ukraine doesn't even have much of an army left to fight. Diabolical NATO/Zelensky/Biden are well aware of this but they have political agenda's to weaken Russia, using Ukrainians and our dispicable military-industrial-POLITICAL-MEDIA complex are the ones benefitting with weapons manufacturing and lobby bribe money to our bought and paid for government/politicians with self serving interests. Along with the dishonest/corrupt media propaganda spinning lies to support what was always a lost cause.

Stop calling this supporting Ukraine.

THIS HAS DONE NOTHING BUT OBLITERATE UKRAINE AND THE ONES DOING IT, DO IT FOR THEIR SELF SERVING INTERESTS NOT UKRAINE'S!!

Provoke him by cutting off negotiations with Putin and telling him that Ukraine was joining NATO whether he liked it or not. Despite Putin's insistence that he would keep NATO from expanding into Ukraine, even if he had to invade Ukraine to do it.

Zelensky Names One Condition for Ukraine to Give Up Territory

https://www.newsweek.com/zelensky-ukraine-territory-1932956

++++++++++++++++++

3 years ago, Russia wanted only 1 condition.............Ukraine agreeing to not becoming part of NATO but Biden/NATO turned Zelensky into a puppet for their war against Russia, with Zelensky offering up and sending his brave Ukrainian soldiers on suicide missions FOR NOTHING, except benefits for the military-industrial-political-media complex that has been bamboozling Americans with ludicrous propaganda for 2.5 years.

Anybody reading here during that period knows that I have not wavered from that position and predicted, either this endpoint or WW3 with NATO troops in Ukraine.

Ukraine hasn't had much of an army left for the past year.  Zelensky/NATO/Biden  got them obliterated.

Hey joj,

 Would you please elaborate? I’m not saying you’re right or saying you’re wrong. I don’t know what to think because you’d need to give details for me to see why you said the above. Then perhaps this could turn into a discussion. Regardless, to his credit Mike has done his homework and has been following this very closely for a long time. But anyone spouting a view, especially as strongly as MM has done, is still open to potential criticism. Mike knows this and may welcome it to get a good robust debate going. I think he likes reactions indicating disagreement more than others from what he’s said before. The anti-echo chamber political site!

It's Time to Fix the Foreign Service to Give Diplomacy a Chance

https://www.newsweek.com/its-time-fix-foreign-service-give-diplomacy-chance-opinion-1934814

+++++++++++++

This is a wonderful article but the reason that it has failed is that in most cases, the political objective is NOT PEACE. NATO and Biden's objective was to have this war with Russia, using Ukraine and Ukrainians and they BLOCKED NEGOTIATIONS between Ukraine and Russia to have it.

It wasn't a matter of fine tuning diplomacy skills. Ukraine just needed to agree that it wouldn't be part of NATO. It didn't require a diplomacy expert to negotiate that. It required NATO to stop provoking and surrounding Russia and stop trying to destroy Russia. And to live up to their original promises of the NATO pact. And to stop all the lies/propaganda bamboozling the West with complete bunk about this war in Ukraine.

Telling us that Ukraine was winning many times. Not telling us that they lost a long time ago and half of Ukraine's brave soldiers/army were killed or permanently disabled(and families suffered their losses) but instead, dwelling on isolated incident and celebrating Russians being killed as if all these people are just numbers and pawns for us to read about and not real human beings. Just as long as they aren't Americans.

Other wars, like Bush's war in Iraq would never be solved by better diplomacy. You have to rid our diabolical politicians of their incentive AND PERSONAL SELF ENRICHING MOTIVATION TO HAVE THE WARS.

They sell these wars to bamboozled Americans that get fed the propaganda by a dishonest media.

At the expense of millions of real human beings around the world, because the high and mighty United States has corrupt politicians that get enriched by the millitary-industrial-political-media complex and they have control of the military might to unleash wherever on the planet, that they decide it best suits their agenda's.

++++++++++++

Ukraine LOST THIS WAR.

However, at least this last guy is completely honest about the REAL REASON for this NATO war as he stated:

The End of the Russian Empire

With that being the case, there's a good chance that NATO is starting a new war, that features NATO troops in Ukraine. Instead of NATO just sending hundreds of billions in weapons to the brave Ukrainian soldiers that were sent on suicide missions for NATO TO WEAKEN RUSSIA, now NATO can step in and start a new war against a weakened Russia with their troops and additional weapons.

Ironically, this is why Putin insisted Ukraine NOT become part of NATO because  its crystal clear what NATO's objective is:

The End of the Russian Empire

The people of Ukraine?

They have always wanted peace with Russia so we should stop insisting that we are supporting Ukraine by getting all their brave soldiers killed off and country obliterated for NATO.

None of this has been to benefit Ukraine(100% the opposite-stop believing the propaganda)!

All of this has been for NATO!

A Trump Presidency Is the Best Chance for Peace in Ukraine

https://www.newsweek.com/trump-presidency-best-chance-peace-ukraine-opinion-1929640

The prospect of peace under a second Trump administration is an increasingly realistic one. The international community is recognizing that the Biden administration's policy of careless escalation has only resulted in more bloodshed.

But the past is the past. With Biden exiting the world stage, America and Ukraine, for better or worse, have an opportunity to end the conflict without further bloodshed or further unifying America's foreign adversaries.

Former president Trump has made clear that he would pursue a negotiated settlement to end the war—something the Biden administration has actively opposed. Indeed, President Biden sought escalation for its own sake, failing to articulate any clear objectives, with a reckless disregard for the threat of a nuclear exchange. Outright Ukrainian military victory has never been a realistic outcome, yet the Biden policy has been to deceive the Ukrainian people and American voters into believing total victory is just over the horizon. This message has resulted in increasing tensions between the United States and Russia, to the point that Russian nuclear-capable submarines were deployed in close proximity to America's shores in June

Billions of dollars should not be given away without a clearly defined American interest and proper oversight of how those taxpayer funds are spent. But what is America's clearly defined interest in this conflict? To "bleed" Russia without regard for the parallel "bleeding" in Ukraine? To completely sever Europe from Russia and drive Russia economically and militarily into the arms of the communist Chinese?

This context, coupled with inflammatory anti-Russian rhetoric in the West, has made Russian leaders believe they could be subject to a "regime change" like the ones they have seen next door. We should not act surprised if Russia behaves like a cornered animal, especially as NATO continues to expand. Russian aggression against their neighbors is wrong, but it is not evidence of any grand design to conquer Europe or reestablish the U.S.S.R.

More war propaganda to make us think that Ukraine is doing something..........other than sending more brave Ukrainian soldiers on suicide missions for NATO. 

Fight to the last drop of brave Ukrainian soldiers blood.

The main impact of this is that it will get more people killed FOR NOTHING.

Ukraine lost the war a very long time ago. Over half their army is dead or permanently disabled. 

Please, please, please stop doing this to the poor Ukrainians and give them the peace they need. Most of the media in the West is colluding with the same nonsense propaganda.

Every additional day just adds more deaths and damage.

NATO views that as good and worth it because Russians are dying and suffering other losses. 

And they continue to call it "supporting Ukraine".

WHY IN THE HECK DOES UKRAINE HAVE TO BE PART OF NATO?

They've already suffered losses that are a million times worse than the benefits of being in NATO. 

The saddest thing is that, since Russia won this war a long time ago, having  and losing the war is keeping them out of NATO AND causing a million times more damage. They lose everything and gain NOTHING!

A rational person not brainwashed by the propaganda would ask:

1. What is Ukraine going to gain from this?

2. When will this war end? Why does NATO have no plan for ending the war........other than to just keep fighting forever in order to weaken Russia.

3. Why is the West refusing to negotiate?

4. Why did the US flush 200 billion down the toilet to make things, MUCH, MUCH worse for Ukraine than if Biden/NATO had not stopped the negotiations so they could have this war.

We are hearing/reading dozen of stories about Ukraine making this great effort to surprise Russia by attacking inside of Russia.

And it being spun into something 1,000 times greater than the reality........AGAIN!

All the MSM is colluding AGAIN, with the same absurd propaganda. Complete nonsense........AGAIN!

The only thing that jumping into a small spot in Russia,  with no hope of advancing (even while getting whopped worse and worse in Ukraine) is to temporarily increase the areas fighting with this new hot spot and invariably just get more  brave Ukrainian soldiers killed.

But while sending all these brave soldiers on suicide missions.....they will hurt Russia a bit........which is the objective of NATO and the real objective of the war.

Ukraine already lost the war by every reasonable standard a long time ago with half their army killed or permanently disabled.

But instead of negotiating, NATO wants this to continue UNTIL THE LAST DROP OF BRAVE UKRAINIAN SOLDIERS BLOOD IS USED UP because the entire objective  is to weaken Russia/Putin NOT TO SAVE UKRAINIAN LIVES!

In fact, NATO's clear objective is to SACRIFICE AS MANY UKRAINIAN LIVES THAT THEY CAN TO MAXIMIZE DAMAGE TO RUSSIA.

Wake  up America!!!
These are HUMAN BEINGS WITH FAMILIES…..ON BOTH SIDES.

STOP BELIEVING THESE LA LA LAND FLAGRANT  LIES.

OUR TAX DOLLARS VIA MORALLY BANKRUPT, BOUGHT AND PAID FOR (by the military-industrial complex) POLITICIANS in cahoots with ratings seeking, sensationaling activists, pretending  to be objective journalists is the biggest source of this 100% counterproductive endeavor.

Do we want our money to continue to be flushed down the toilet For this never ending war that NATO wants to go on as long as

1. IT CAN KEEP DOING DAMAGE TO RUSSIA

2. There are still some brave  Ukrainians left to fight

3. NATO troops can replace the dead Ukrainians

4. The gullible, bamboozled American people continue to believe  all the propaganda And fund the war.

5. Dictator  Zelensky remains in power, with elections suspended  by him….until the war is

over….which never happens because he and NATO won’t seriously negotiate. Instead, they send out propaganda to make it appear as if Ukraine still has a fighting chance. NOT!!

$200,000,000,000 is a lot of money that could do a lot of good.

500,000+ is a lot of dead and permanently disabled brave soldiers From both sides. That’s right……Russian soldiers are brave human beings with no choice, because of where they were born.

With many millions of family members suffering their losses.

NATO AND OUR POLITICIANS WANT US TO HATE RUSSIANS AND  WHEN THE MEDIA REPORTS DEAD RUSSIANS WITH GLEE AS THEY TRICK READERS AND VIEWERS INTO CELEBRATING IT WITH THEM AS THEY SUCK US INTO THEIR MORALLY DEPRAVED, DISINGENUOUS, MISINFORMED PROPAGANDA   SEWER.

Here's the proof:

On the wider scales of these just updated maps below, if somebody didn't tell us  there was purple on the images/define it as "held or regained by Ukraine".....we would completely miss it.

Areas shaded in  purple are more than ~500 times smaller than red(Russia controlled).

It would be like playing a basketball game and losing 100-2 when time runs out......but insisting on playing on.........to 200-2, then 300-2, 400-2.

Then at 500-2, the losing team gets a 3 pointer to make it 500-5 and all the fans of the losing team get fired up and twist the 3 pointer to mean..........they didn't really get blown out.

The team with 500 points  is shocked because they just gave up a 3 pointer.  OMG, the losing team might go on a scoring streak of hundreds of unanswered points because they just make 1 single 3 pointer.

And of course, it always means justification to continue the game/war.


The war in Ukraine is NOT a game, however. NATO, with the US/Biden leading the way and corrupt dictator Zelensky, betraying his people are using it for their self serving agenda's. 

The MSM is constantly manufacturing fake scenarios and fake interpretations that make it look like Ukraine is doing 100 times better than they really are.

Scenarios that always justify continuing the war and NOT NEGOTIATING. Russia can never win..........no matter how many Ukrainians must die before, even these people have to concede to the truth.

I didn't make these maps up. These images of reality are worth far more than a thousand words. Maybe more than millions of words that the MSM has used to sell their snake oil propaganda to bamboozle Americans to support NATO's war on Russia, using (abusing) the Ukrainians to fight it. 

This brings to mind an expression made by the most bombastic politician in history..............that has told more lies than the next 5 on the lie list combined.........but gets a few things right.

By the way that was sovereign American territory. Boy all that really made friends, right? Maybe this entire scenario could of been avoided with a major back bone and peace thru strength. Who knows it could well be too late now.  Just wait for that Harris/ Walz team. That will be the ticket. When will the left ever figure out what the radical muslims are after? Yes the same thing China is after.

Thanks, mcfarm,

Fox and others always start their story about radical Muslims AFTER we created them with our womderful peace thru strength policies that have all failed miserably for 7 decades.

But the story from most, NEVER includes what caused them in the first place because they are a reaction to our failed policies.

You blame it on Biden and Obama but left out all the wars we started for oil and revenge….like the Iraq war Based on a completely manufactured justification by somebody from the R party using this peace from strength assumption. . Boy, that showed em. Now look how much they respect us.

Or Afghanistan. How long did that last for? Regardless of how we withdrew, after the withdrawing mess, we get to see the lasting impact of a decades long war.

How many trillions did those wars cost?

How many brave but DEAD American soldiers resulted?
there’s much more to it than just peace from strength.

McCain lost in 2008, partly because his platform included "we stay in Iraq until the job is done". Too many Americans knew that meant.........FOREVER, until Americans became upset again and demanded we stop throwing tax dollars and brave soldier lives down another bottomless pit.

Trump was smart to recognize this in Afghanistan and was the one that started the actions to withdraw. Squawk all you want about how Biden did it badly, Trump recognized the counterproductive presence to our country and our people wanting OUT!

We have to exercise that strength, only at the right times, using wisdom……..not every time we want to manipulate the politics and energy dynamics which is greatly ABUSING our strength.

what about  numerous successful attempts to overthrow their leaders and regimes with people we want running their countries.

just imagine how we would feel if a foreign country did that to us?

Then, we obliterate them in a war that we can win because of military might and say SEE IT WORKS!

completely ignoring the massive blowback left. Many millions of people that hate us and many thousands greatly incentivized to become terrorists to hold us accountable for the 7 decades of using the same failed strategies.

In every single story/explanation from your side about radical terrorism, they  pop up for every reason BUT THE REAL ONE!

The US, abusing its military might, attempting to impose its will on Middle East politics and energy policies for 7 decades never has anything to do with it.

Thats why we will continue to fail in the Middle East. 

Politicians in love with wars because it enriches them via the military-industrial bribing complex.

Media controlled by partisan coalitions and biased activists as well as driven by the almighty ratings which ALWAYS go up from wars. 

Professional, completely objective and honest journalism is almost dead in this country.

I sighted the MSMs blatant journalistic violations earlier but Fox in the evening stands alone, at the top for stating the most galactically ludicrous things because they are in the business of saying things people want to hear to generate blockbuster ratings.

And its working extremely well!

Yes the ME has been a mess for a thousand years. And yet you do agree that weakness invites the wolves. Yes the ME is many times worse when the US does not show strength. And finally yes, just look at Obama and biden and ask....did they leave a mess for some one else and the weaker we got {biden] THE WORSE THE MESS GOT.


Now we look at China and Russia and Iran. China is on the move for Indochina, Africa and South America. Russia is on the move for Europe and Iran for the ME. Are we in any position to stop any of that with a President hiding in his basement?

This is what happens in a TRUE democracy:

Fact: The presidential election cannot be canceled — the Constitution requires that presidential elections take place this year.

https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/canceled-election

No one, not even the president, can cancel the presidential election. Congress set the current date for presidential elections in 1845 and it has been held on this date every four years — even through the Civil War and two world wars – for over 175 years.

Furthermore, the Constitution requires the president’s term to end on January 20. There are no exceptions that would allow the president to stay in office after that date unless the president is reelected.

The only thing that explains Ukraine's intrusion into Russia IS NATO.

Let's use common sense:

Ukraine has been getting totally decimated by every legit account, for months and months not even able to defend itself, with Russia GAINING territory. Half of its military dead or permanently disabled...... then SUDDENLY, OUT OF NOWHERE they attack in Russia.

Of course we know that these are NATO weapons but these are also NATO trained troops under NATO's leadership, with the likelihood of fighters from NATO countries.

Absolutely no other way to explain it and NATO has been lying about every part of this war, even before it happened.


Momentum 'Clearly' Building for NATO Troops in Ukraine

Russia has consistently warned its Western adversaries against providing any kind of aid to Ukraine while simultaneously framing its war on Kyiv as a direct confrontation with the U.S.-led "collective West."

This month, in response to a Ukrainian petition urging NATO to deploy forces, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said: "We have repeatedly said that direct intervention on the ground in this conflict by the military of NATO countries potentially carries enormous danger, so we consider this an extremely challenging provocation, nothing less, and, of course, we are watching this very carefully."

Russian forces are now pushing all along the front, forcing Ukrainian troops back in key locations and opening new fronts in the northeastern regions of Kharkiv and Sumy.

++++++++++++

We should note that NATO continues to refuse to engage in peace negotiations. That's NOT what they want. THEY WANT UKRAINE AS PART OF NATO AND TO DESTROY RUSSIA!

So we have a new escalation and potential for MUCH WORSE.

1. Ukraine was completely obliterated in the war. Half it's army is dead or permanently disabled, so it lost the war by every objective standard a very long time ago. Russia is in control of  ~99%+ of the area that it invaded(illegally).

https://www.marketforum.com/forum/topic/106160/#106647

 2. Despite the war being lost a LONG time ago, NATO refuses to have any sort of peace negotiations with Russia. NATO wants Ukraine. Putin is not giving it to them and is taking more of Ukraine the longer the fight to keep them out drags on.

3. Now, NATO is ramping up its efforts to start a NEW WAR with Russia.  This new war, features NATO weapons firing inside of Russia and NATO trained troops and leadership invading Russia. 

4. What will Putin do?

5. What we read  on this topic is 99%+ propaganda coming from NATO aligned sources.

Why isn't the media screaming bloody murder over the lack of negotiations for peace, all the dead/injured people, Ukraine being obliterated(a trillion dollars) and hundreds of billions of dollars being flushed down the toilet and calling for negotiations for peace? 

Instead, they keep pretending that Ukraine can/will win THEIR war. Cheering for escalations that ALWAYS cause many more dead Ukrainians and call it "supporting Ukraine!" Doing everything possible to mislead readers about the realities.

NATO and Western gatekeepers, especially those in the media that serve as the brainwashers, colluding with their galactically absurd nonsense propaganda are hellbent on continuing the war.

1. The majority are acting as political activists NOT professional journalists.

2. War is one of the best things for ratings, traffic and newspaper circulation..........meaning more profits.

3. Their ability to spin this requires a massive amount of unconscionable denying of the massive suffering and how it can end. Truly an indication of being morally bankrupt ON THIS PARTICULAR TOPIC. They've sold their souls to the devil because there is nothing more important to them than NATO getting Ukraine and destroying Russia. They hate Putin's guts so much that that there is no price not worth paying to hurt him.

Ukraine’s gamble in Kursk restores belief it can beat Russia – it requires a Western response

While the Kursk operation is still underway, and with its final outcome yet unclear, it has already changed some western perceptions of the war in favour of Ukraine. Ukraine again has initiative on the battlefield and has already achieved four objectives.

There  is little appetite for [negotiations] inside Ukraine, and even less  trust that Russia would not use an eventual ceasefire to rearm, regroup  and re-attack.

NATO bases everything it does on the assumption that Russia is their arch enemy and Russia is going to attack NATO (when the evidence is the opposite-unless Putin is provoked with direct attacks INSIDE Russia by NATO LED TROOPS AND NATO WEAPONS-LIKE WE SEE NOW).

This means that NATO MUST surround and destroy Russia before that happens, instead of trying to live in peace with Russia.

NATO needs to get Ukraine for its advancing strategic position. Ukrainian human beings have meant nothing to NATO. Expendable for THEIR cause. 

None of this would have been possible if they hadn't hijacked their leader, President  Zelensky and turned him into a NATO puppet, who sacrificed his brave soldiers lives for NATO.

It's still all 1 sided, despite NATO's attack in Russia, using NATO weapons and NATO trained troops/strategies  designed to kill more Russians and get more Ukrainians killed..........and reject peace negotiations. 

If this is such a great strategy, why didn't Ukraine use it 2 years ago, before half their army was killed or permanently disabled?

Answer: Because it's an act of desperation. Fight on to the last drop of brave Ukrainian soldiers blood for the NATO cause, trying to hurt Russia in a war that was lost long ago. It could also be a strategy designed to get Putin to attack NATO back. NATO soooo wants a war to destroy Russia that they will do anything to provoke it.

Regardless, DO NOT NEGOTIATE FOR PEACE, even though that's what Ukrainians actually want.

Zelensky: Diplomacy 'not at the expense of 30% of our territory'

This guy has 0 credibility other than the fake persona the media's propaganda bestows on him as NATO's charismatic/actor puppet. As he gets his country obliterated and offers up his brave soldiers for NATO's cause, betraying his promise to the people to get elected, in 2019 that he would negotiate peace with Russia.

Zelensky had every opportunity to make an agreement with Putin BEFORE the invasion that did not give up all the terrain Russia captured with the war. Putin, mainly wanted an assurance that NATO would not expand into Ukraine and continue to surround Russia with their long term strategy to destroy Russia.

Instead, NATO/BIDEN told Zelensky to abruptly stop the negotiations and they would help him to win the inevitable war which would result from him doing this.

At every point as the war progressed, Zelensky had the option to stop the war by swearing off NATO. Instead, he became more strongly aligned with NATO and defiant about it.

After 1 year, Russia gained alot of new territory..........but Zelensky clung to his NATO aspirations told Putin to shove it.

After 2 years, Russia continued to gain MORE new territory but Zelensky held firm that Ukraine would be part of NATO and he would NOT negotiate.

After more than 2.5 years. Russia continues to gain MORE new territory, almost daily and suddenly, Zelensky claims he will negotiate for peace but he wants the deals offered to him a very long time ago, before he lost the war. The loser doesn’t get everything they lost back from the winner in any realm after it’s over!

1. I don't hear/read Zelensky agreeing to not being part of NATO which is an absolute given with any peace between Russia and Ukraine. The less of Ukraine that he claims for NATO, the more of Ukraine he will get!!! Take that one to the bank!

2. You can't set the clock back 2.5 years and get the deal Putin offered then. When a country has tremendous losses to win a war, they don't pretend the other side won when negotiating. Ukraine MUST GIVE UP SOME THINGS NOW THAT IT DIDN'T NEED TO GIVE UP  2.5 years ago, before Biden/NATO used their diabolical influence to cause the lost war by hijacking corrupt Zelensky, to make him a western world hero, that required him betraying his Ukrainian people.

            Russia launched a “massive” missile and drone attack aimed at energy infrastructure across Ukraine overnight into Monday, Ukrainian officials said, killing at least five people and causing power outages in several cities.        

            The nationwide strikes used “more than 100 missiles of various types and around 100 Shahed drones,” Ukrainian President Volodmyr Zelensky said, calling it “one of the largest attacks” in more than two-and-a-half years of war.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia battered much of Ukraine on Monday, firing scores of missiles and drones that killed four people, injured more than a dozen and damaged energy facilities in attacks that President Volodymyr Zelensky described as “vile.”

The barrage of over 100 missiles and a similar number of drones began around midnight and continued through daybreak in what appeared to be Russia’s biggest onslaught in weeks.

Ukraine’s air force said swarms of Russian drones fired at eastern, northern, southern, and central regions were followed by volleys of cruise and ballistic missiles.

“Like most previous Russian strikes, this one was just as vile, targeting critical civilian infrastructure,” Zelenskyy said, adding that most of the country was targeted — from the Kharkiv region and Kyiv to Odesa and the west.

Explosions were heard in the capital of Kyiv. Power and water supplies in the city were disrupted by the attack, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said.

Why is Belarus amassing troops along its border with Ukraine?

Ukraine has called on Belarus to pull back its forces from the border amid new regional tensions after Kursk incursion in Russia.

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/8/26/why-is-belarus-amassing-troops-along-its-border-with-ukraine

The latest warning from Ukraine follows two weeks of sharpening rhetoric, accusations and countercharges levelled by Kyiv and Minsk at each other. This, at a time when Russia — which counts Belarus as its most steadfast ally — has threatened a firm response to Ukraine’s Kursk offensive.

Ukraine’s Zelensky says Russia incursion is part of victory plan he intends to show Biden

 https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/27/americas/ukraine-zelensky-victory-plan-biden-unga-intl-latam/index.html

+++++++++++++++

This is complete rubbish. Zelensky, a comedian and actor his entire life didn't suddenly become a great military strategist overnight.........what happened is he was recruited by NATO and has been NATO's puppet since Biden became president and TOLD HIM to stop negotiating with Russia in late 2021 because NATO would help him defeat Russia. If he would sacrifice his brave soldiers for NATO's cause......betray his promise to his people,  to get elected in 2019, that he would negotiate peace with Russia, NATO would elevate him to a great leader and they would defeat Putin and Russia together.

That's exactly what happened and since then, we only read propaganda that supporting Ukraine means getting their country and brave soldiers obliterated AT THE EXPENSE OF PEACE because NATO wants to expand into Ukraine as part of their plan to destroy Russia and does NOT WANT PEACE. Putin is refusing to let NATO expand anymore and has drawn his line in the sand with Ukraine.

This war could have ended any time if NATO/Zelensky/Biden told Putin that NATO wasn't going to expand into Ukraine(what he has always been demanding from BEFORE he invaded),  like NATO has done with the 20 additional countries they have expanded into (from the original 12) after promising Russia they would never do this.

Chance of this being true?

The main impact of the incursion by Ukraine into Russia will be and is the slaughtering of more  brave soldiers fighting for Ukraine sent on yet another suicide mission FOR NATO!

In the 2.5 years of the war and constant propaganda/lies, name just 1 time that did not end up being the case? They are 0 for 30 on predicting Ukraine winning the past 30 months. Their odds are slightly higher now that NATO is getting more and more involved (to start a new war if possible after Ukraine already lost)  but that just brings us closer to WW3 because this is what NATO/Biden/Zelensky want.


This is NOT supporting Ukraine as we continue to get them obliterated and NATO refuses to negotiate for peace or give Zelensky permission to do it. Dictator Zelensky canceled elections to stay in office, so this isn't even a country with democratic elections anymore! The excuse is the war but if NATO/Zelensky thought he would be re elected, you bet he wouldn't have cancelled elections because this is actually what they falsely claim the war is all about.........democracy in Ukraine.

That's a massive lie!!!

Russia lashes out against ‘terrorist’ incursion in Kursk, pulls back planes

Look how big they can make the blue look which is the suicide mission into Russia.


“The impression is that our colleagues [in Washington] have discarded the remnants of common sense and believe that they can do anything,” Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said.

Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Maria Zakharova said unleashing long-range missiles, such as the Storm Shadow provided by Britain and France or the ATACMS provided by the US, on Russia would be about “turning the Kyiv regime into a terrorist organisation”. She called Ukraine’s offensive in Kursk an “insane and suicidal escapade”.

++++++++++++++++

If it isn't the "enemy of the people" up to their usual tricks again!!

Twisting a potentially, slightly inflated death count but pretty solid statements otherwise by Trump against him because it CONTRADICTS THEIR PROPAGANDA THAT HAS CAUSED THIS HORRIFIC WAR  TO HAPPEN AND CONTINUE WITH NO PLAN TO END IT, LIKE TRUMP HAS!!!

With regards to the war never happening. There is a near 0 chance that Trump would have done what Biden did.

Bring Zelensky to the White House and into the NATO-centric sphere which told him to stop negotiating with Russia for peace (as he promised his people in 2019 to get elected) and instead, cut off negotiations and swear allegiance to NATO.........and let NATO  equip him with what he needed to DEFEAT RUSSIA, while elevating him to a great hero.

0.0000% chance that Trump would have turned Zelensky into a NATO puppet, like Biden did.

Negotiations would likely have continued, between Ukraine and Russia like they were before Biden jumped in,  instead of the war which NATO WANTS in order to destroy Russia/Putin, USING Ukraine and Ukraine's brave soldiers and people to do it.

Ukrainians WANT PEACE. Trump is the guy to bring it to them the quickest!

Russian forces, which control 18% of Ukraine, have been advancing in eastern Ukraine since the failure of Kyiv’s 2023 counter-offensive to achieve a major breakthrough.

Despite a major Ukrainian incursion into Russia’s Kursk region began on 6 August, the numerically stronger Russian army has in recent weeks been pushing relatively swiftly though settlements on the approach to the strategically important city of Pokrovsk.

A REAL risk here is that NATO, essentially the United States will start transporting nuclear weapons to the vicinity of Ukraine(NATO countries) or to Ukraine and Russia (which has the ability to detect this)  will be provoked further and, because they have had the far, FAR superior strategies from the get go in this war, will make pre preemptive nuclear strikes first, BEFORE we get the chance.

Those could include attempts to take out our sites threatening him with nuclear weapons.

Im only saying this is possible NOT likely. Until NATO finally agrees to  stop their advances to get Ukraine, a lot of really bad things can happen.

bad things  will keep happening for sure……almost daily in fact And those will continue to increase losses, more and more.

but NATO is unpredictable. Who could have imagined that they would be so diabolical as to blow up the Russian natural gas pipeline to Europe/Germany 2 years ago, ahead of Winter and with record low natural gas in storage??

these are some dangerous dudes with little regards/respect  for human lives……..other than chewing them up and spitting them out for their self serving political agendas.

++++++++++++++++

The potential is there for something catastrophically bad to happen. This war isn't with Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan or any of the other many dozens of countries in the past that could only fight back with terrorism, like what happened on 9-11-01.

We are fighting a war with another SUPER power that has MORE nuclear weapons. NOT doing anything to try to seek peace but doing the complete opposite. Attacking INSIDE RUSSIA, using OUR weapons, our(NATO) led troops, technology from space and leadership, after hijacking Zelensky to get him to donate his brave soldiers for the suicide missions to do it.

All so that NATO can have Ukraine. One of the most corrupt countries in the world-but strategically located in the best spot to weaken and destroy Russia.

Russia has several NON NATO allies too, including China that see what's really going on, the opposite of the nonsense propaganda that we are told.

Up until 3 years ago, I would have said there is a near 0 chance that we would ever do all the retarded things we've done to put us in this galactically stupid position........but the Military-Industrial-Political-Media complex is making decisions based on  continuing their self enriching dynamic that violates humanity and common sense.

He has done the polar opposite because NATO and Joe Biden(with his corrupt Ukraine connections and understanding) saw an opportunity to use him to expand into Ukraine. This is part  of their clear but unstated mission of surrounding and destroying Russia(based on ALL actions the past 3 decades).

Chance of this being true?

99.99% and based on hundreds of posts here proving it with evidence. 

While our government and media completely manufacture fake reality after another after another and use it as propaganda and sell it to us so that we'll support Ukraine getting completely annihilated instead of having peace or fighting corruption(that we made MUCH WORSE) and now, they've even turned Zelensky into a dictator(with no elections) with cancelled democratic elections...........and compel us to support this lie as a "fight for democracy"

Outgunned and outnumbered, Ukraine’s military is struggling with low morale and desertion                                                     

By Ivana Kottasová and Kostya Gak, CNN         

  Published     Sun September 8, 2024    

https://www.cnn.com/2024/09/08/europe/ukraine-military-morale-desertion-intl-cmd/index.html

            As a battalion commander, Dima was in charge of around 800 men who fought in some of the fiercest, bloodiest battles of the war – most recently near Pokrovsk, the strategic eastern town that is now on the brink of falling to Russia.    

    

            But with most of his troops now dead or severely injured, Dima decided he’d had enough.

Two and half years of Russia’s grinding offensive have decimated many Ukrainian units. Reinforcements are few and far between, leaving some soldiers exhausted and demoralized. The situation is particularly dire among infantry units near Pokrovsk and elsewhere on the eastern front line, where Ukraine is struggling to stop Russia’s creeping advances.

CNN spoke to six commanders and officers who are or were until recently fighting or supervising units in the area. All six said desertion and insubordination are becoming a widespread problem, especially among newly recruited soldiers.

            Ukrainian soldiers in the area paint a grim picture of the situation. Kyiv’s forces are clearly outnumbered and outgunned, with some commanders estimating there are 10 Russian soldiers to each Ukrainian.

The truth:

Right-Sizing the Russian Threat to Europe

https://quincyinst.org/research/right-sizing-the-russian-threat-to-europe/#

Executive Summary

Western leaders, including U.S. President Joe Biden, have frequently framed the invasion of Ukraine as the first step in a Russian plan of broader European conquest. However, a close examination of Russian intent and military capabilities shows this view is dangerously mistaken. Russia likely has neither the capability nor the intent to launch a war of aggression against NATO members — but the ongoing brinkmanship between Russia and the West still poses serious risks of military escalation that can only be defused by supplementing military deterrence with a diplomatic effort to address tensions.

An analysis of Russian security thinking demonstrates that Putin’s stated views align with long-standing Russian fears about Western encroachment, given Russia’s lack of natural barriers to invasion. As Putin has come to view NATO as increasingly hostile to Russia, aggressive Russian action in defense of its claimed “sphere of influence” has become a factor in European security. However, contrary to many Western analyses, this does not mean that Russia views future wars of aggression against NATO member states as in its security interest.

This does not imply naivete about the danger of Russian aggression, as reflected most recently in its illegal invasion of Ukraine. But it highlights the fundamental differences between Russia’s perceptions of Ukraine, which it has long regarded as both critical to its national security and integral to its history and culture, and its views of NATO countries, where the cost-benefit balance of aggression for Russia would be very different.

Understanding Russian incentives also requires assessing Russia’s actual military capabilities compared to NATO. As frequently reiterated by NATO leadership, such an assessment shows that Russia is at a decisive conventional military disadvantage against the NATO alliance.  

While Russia would do damage in a conventional war with NATO, it would almost certainly suffer a devastating defeat in such a conflict absent nuclear escalation. NATO has a greater than three-to-one advantage over Russia in active-duty ground forces. NATO also has even greater advantages in the air and at sea. The alliance has a ten-to-one lead in military aircraft and a large qualitative edge as well, raising the probability of total air superiority. At sea, NATO would likely have the capacity to impose a naval blockade on Russian shipping, whose costs would dwarf current economic sanctions. While Russia has clear military superiority over individual NATO states, especially in the Baltics, it is extremely unlikely it could exercise this advantage without triggering a broader war with the entire NATO alliance.

https://apnews.com/article/poland-ukraine-war-us-election-trump-harris-eedfa6de06355a87ae4f04de40786899

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Wanda Kwiatkowska eagerly read reports on Wednesday morning about the U.S. presidential debate — and they convinced her that a second Trump presidency would be a grave threat to her home of Poland and the larger region.

Former President Donald Trump twice refused to directly answer a question during the debate about whether he wanted U.S. ally Ukraine to win the war. Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris praised American and NATO support for Ukraine in its fight against Russia’s invasion so far — and called for it to continue.

“Otherwise, (Russian President Vladimir) Putin would be sitting in Kyiv with his eyes on the rest of Europe. Starting with Poland,” she said

            Russia demands NATO roll back from East Europe and stay out of Ukraine

By  and

MOSCOW, Dec 17 (Reuters) - Russia said on Friday it wanted a legally binding guarantee that NATO would give up any military activity in Eastern Europe and Ukraine, part of a wish list of security guarantees it wants to negotiate with the West.

Moscow for the first time laid out in detail demands that it says are essential for lowering tensions in Europe and defusing a crisis over Ukraine

Others would imply the removal of U.S. nuclear weapons from Europe and the withdrawal of multinational NATO battalions from Poland and from the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania that were once in the Soviet Union.

Proposals handed over to United States this week

NATO/Biden refused to negotiate. Recruiting Zelensky to do their dirty work by sacrificing his brave soldiers lives and country for their agenda(destroy Russia).........for his NATO fame and glory!

This is the Cuban missile crisis on steroids but with a complete switching of the actors. Our propaganda distorts facts to make it look like we are always the good guys with altruistic intent, fighting for truth, justice and the American way.

Ukrainians warn of being surrounded as Russia advances in east

https://www.yahoo.com/news/ukrainians-warn-being-surrounded-russia-004149705.html

The media and our government continue to blatantly lie with impunity about what we are doing to these poor, brave Ukrainians soldiers (real human beings that have families) sent on suicide missions FOR NATO, definitely NOT FOR UKRAINE.  

Look at the map, man! There's something like 500 times more red and orange than there is purple. AND OVER HALF OF UKRAINES ARMY HAS BEEN KILLED, PERMANENTLY DISABLED OR DESERTED!!

Ukraine lost the war a very long time ago. It's time for NATO to give up on advancing into Ukraine and let the people of Ukraine have the peace that traitor Zelensky promised he would negotiate before NATO puppetized him for NATO fame and glory. 

Please stop letting our government and media(like David Muir of ABC) blatantly lie with impunity because of their self serving agenda's getting these poor human beings (on both sides) decimated........and blaming it all on Putin.

NATO, from BEFORE the war has always had the continued opportunity to agree to stop the NATO aggressive advance, surrounding Russia in order to satisfy Putin. Instead, they view this as using up Ukrainians and Ukraine  to accomplish their agenda of weakening and destroying Russia/Putin. 

Look at the map again. You have to be delusional to think that Ukraine has a chance to win!!!..........with less than half of an army left!!!

However, if your  REAL objective is ACTUALLY TO WEAKEN, DRAIN AND VILIFY RUSSIA, EVENTUALLY DESTROYING THEM........which is the CRYSTAL CLEAR case, then the mission is being solidly accomplished.

There's a really huge problem with that. Sacrificing Ukrainians and Ukraine to do it when these poor human beings(seen by NATO/Biden/Zelensky and our industrial-military-political-media complex as disposable pawns)  have just wanted peace with Russia.

The worst one of all, by far is the puppet selling out. Instead of representing his people, he gave their precious lives to NATO for his despicable fame and glory. 

No other Ukrainian leader would have done this to their country. In fact, almost no leader at any time in history would have done this to the people of their country, regardless of how self serving their interests.

Restore democratic elections to Ukraine so they can boot this dictator out of office ASAP and get somebody that will bring peace............even as Zelensky continues to tell us, almost daily how he wants NATO countries to ESCALATE even more so we can have WW3. 

He has shown himself to be one of the worst military leaders in the history of the world. Still wanting to fight to the last drop of what's left of his army's blood, when Russia, a very long time ago obliterated them and now, the only point is to take out as many Russians as possible.........using Ukrainian lives.  HIS OWN PEOPLE FOR PETE'S SAKE?

What leader would do this to their own people????

The U.S. and NATO Helped Trigger the Ukraine War. It’s Not ‘Siding With Putin’ to Admit It

https://www.cato.org/commentary/us-nato-helped-trigger-ukraine-war-its-not-siding-putin-admit-it#

U.S. and European officials blew through one red light after another.

"A recording of the infamous leaked telephone call between Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt confirmed the extent of Washington’s meddling in the affairs of a sovereign country.

In late 2021, it became clear that the Kremlin’s restraint had run dry. Moscow issued demands for security guarantees, including a draw‐down of military forces already deployed in NATO’s eastern members. With respect to Ukraine, the demand was very clear and uncompromising: Not only would Kyiv never receive a membership invitation, but NATO weapons and troops would never be deployed on Ukrainian soil. When the West failed to provide those guarantees, Putin launched his devastating, full‐scale war.

Moscow’s cruel overreaction deserves emphatic condemnation. However, the culpability of the United States and its NATO allies also is sizable. Moving an alliance that one great power dominates to the border of another major power is inherently destabilizing and provocative."

How NATO is becoming a threat to Europe

27 January 2017

https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/can-europe-make-it/how-nato-is-becoming-threat-to-europe/

A good lesson of European history is that wars can arise not just from expansionist dictators, but also from foolish military posturing and alliances capable of turning the murder of an Austrian Duke into a world war. Sometimes, Europe marches to catastrophe; often, it stumbles there. 

                                           The Russian leadership sees it differently. As US troops march into Poland, they ask how the Americans would react to thousands of Russian soldiers in, say, Cuba. Cuba has had every reason to fear US aggression – regular assassination attempts on their former president, an invasion, the harbouring of exiled plane hijackers, an endless economic war – but 4,000 Russian troops would represent a dangerous escalation, as was the presence of Soviet nuclear missiles on the island in the 60s.    

+++++++++++++

Putin tried to negotiate BEFORE the invasion, asking that Ukraine commit to NOT joining NATO. Biden/Zelensky had teamed up at that point and they refused to discuss it.  Here we are and they continue refusing to discuss it.

US President Joe Biden will use the rest of his term in office "to put Ukraine in the best possible position to prevail" against Russia, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said Saturday during a speech given remotely to a forum in Kyiv.

If you were the captain of a ship that is sinking fast, would you:

Or would you:

2. Force the crew to remain on the sinking ship and getting the rescuers to leave their safe rescue boats and jump on to the sinking ship to waste time by bailing out water with pails.........to die with everybody else? 


Captain Joseph Biden of the USS NATO, continues to insist on option #2 to MAXIMIZE the deaths, exactly  as he has for the past 2.5 years.

His crew members are all Ukrainians with no choice, just like the real Ukrainians have no choice because Dictator Zelensky banned democratic elections to prevent them from voting him out of office.


Biden/NATO and Zelensky, in 31 months of war have made 0 smart decisions for the Ukrainian people and dozens of really bad ones for them and, in fact for everybody else, including Americans.

That is, outside of the Military-Industrial-Political-Media complex, serving as the gatekeepers and propaganda sources to accomplish their self serving agendas.

Maybe I missed a smart decision and somebody can remind me. 1 that saved many lives or saved money or got us closer to peace or made the world safer or reduced global inflation or that didn't incentivize our adversaries to unite....... instead of doing the exact opposite every step of the way INTENTIONALLY for their diabolical agenda.

Confidence in Zelensky drops in Europe, ‘warms’ for Putin in some places: Pew

https://thehill.com/policy/international/4752155-pew-survey-zelensky-putin/

More than 44,000 people in 36 countries were surveyed across North and South America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa.  

Overall, an average of 46 percent of respondents said they do not have confidence in Zelensky to do the right thing, compared to 40 percent who said they do.

“We’ve only started asking about him since the war broke out in 2022, and then he received quite high favorability or confidence,” said Moira Fagan, research associate at Pew Research Center specializing in international survey research.

“But since then, it has declined and in many European-allies cases, the confidence in Zelensky has declined significantly over the past year.

Ukraine-Russia war live: Mass drone attack on Russian arms depot sparks huge fire as war casualties reach 1m

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/ukraine-russia-putin-war-casualties-ceasefire-kursk-latest-b2614685.html

It came as fresh estimates from Western intelligence suggested the total number of casualties from Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine may have exceeded one million.

The figure includes 80,000 Ukrainian troops killed and 400,000 wounded, according to a confidential estimatefrom Kyiv reported by the Wall Street Journal. Estimates of Russian casualties vary but are expected to number around 200,000 killed and 400,000 wounded.

+++++++++++++++++

This suggests that I spent a ton of time analyzing stories/sources and came up much too low with my estimate(guess):

https://www.marketforum.com/forum/topic/107433/#107454

I seriously think that this number could be low but there's way too much uncertainty. This is just a guess because most of the sources that know the real numbers are lying to us.

You bringing this up is much appreciated, so that I can elaborate and try to be as accurate as possible for readers.


If Trump was president, its very likely that over 700,000 lives 750,000 casualties would have been saved in the Ukraine war as well as countless other benefits to the world from NOT having this horrific war because of Biden/NATO's impact.  Trump getting elected is our best chance to avoid a nuclear war with Russia.

++++++++++++++

It's odd that Ukraine and Russia have the same number of injuries but Russia's deaths are 2.5 times those of Ukraine. Maybe because of the distance they need to travel for life saving medical assistance??? More likely related to the UNreliable sources that feed us biased information based on propaganda.

Exactly what I've been saying.

Ukraine lost this war badly a long time ago with a near 0 chance to come back, since over half their original army is gone forever.  One only has to look at the battlefield, with Russia claiming 99.9%. It's retarded propaganda trying to convince us otherwise...........but working because its all most people read.

However, this is the key point. NATO has been refusing to acknowledge this and they are determined to expand into  Ukraine and eliminate Russia NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES.

The current war, is featuring more and more NATO and less and less of the defeated Ukraine.

Admitting Ukraine into NATO would make it official and immediately result in NATO sending NATO troops into Ukraine and NATO troops into Russia and an all out NATO attack on Russia.

Ironically, this is exactly why Putin invaded Ukraine. To  try to stop NATO from doing this, thinking he could get them to agree NOT to expand into Ukraine. But they might do it anyways after all this and after 2.5 years of horrific damage to both sides and to the world.

Everybody blames Putin but why does NATO want to expand into Ukraine so badly that it's willing to hijack their leader and turn him into a NATO puppet and cause Ukraine to get obliterated and still isn't giving up on it and won't negotiate for peace?

If the MSM told us the truth about this war, it would have ended a long time ago and even more likely, never started.

Something north of 10% right now is my wild guess and that may be conservative. Think about that. There are 100 things in your life that you would never do because of a less than 1% risk of it killing you. 

People have grown to accept the Ukraine war and the role of the United States,  like everything else in our lives that's NORMAL. And to support the fake good guys provoking and intentionally sustaining  it.

That's pretty sad. The media has hijacked our brains so that we actually support something with a greater than 10% chance of destroying everything.

At the same time, they continue to try to convince/scare us that the real existential threat to us and the planet is a fake climate crisis from a beneficial gas which is GREENING UP the planet, during the current CLIMATE OPTIMUM. The weather. The best living and food producing conditions for most life since humans have existed.

Photosynthesis is an indisputable law that the Ds and media cannot repeal with fake news.

They also can't repeal the laws of physics, energy and economics with their fairy tale promises to accomplish crony capitalism, political agenda and accomplish radical activist, badly misinformed environmentalism, while boosting ratings with exaggerated, cherry picked, sensationalized interpretations of our weather.

I can tell you why Zelensky, Biden and NATO are proposing such a preposterous, 1 sided peace plan.

NATO is planning to attack Russia, inside Russia with long range NATO weapons or at least threatening Putin with that. They think that after all this, Putin will get scared and agree to give Ukraine everything back, while denying Putin the one thing he's always demanded.

Putin will NEVER agree to this!

When he doesn't, IF NATO does follow thru with their threat and does attack with long range missiles deep into Russia, the threat of nuclear war goes above 50%!!!!!

NATO has an overwhelming advantage compared to Russia.........but not with nuclear weapons. 

NATO just keeps proving everything that I've accused them of from the get go. All of this because NATO will not give up on expanding into Ukraine.

That's it folks. That's the thing Putin wanted most. He also wanted the US to stop loading NATO nations with weapons pointed at Russia but mainly NO NATO IN UKRAINE. 

And we can see exactly what Putins point was because look what NATO in Ukraine is doing RIGHT NOW to Russia.

kennedy is a hero for taking a stand against Russia in the Cuban missile crisis. Putin is applying the same principle but with a 100 times more legit threat than the concern of Kennedy over a tiny island to our south.

NATO has expanded and surrounded him with countries  loaded with US weapons there only to use on Russia and he finally drew a line in the sand.

And here we go. NATO is showing us who they really are.

Zelensky is just a charasmatic actor that used this to get elected as president. Biden and his close ties to corrupt Ukraine, saw  this as an opportunity to recruit Zelensky to following NATO as his master and crystal clearly NOT the Ukrainian people.

As soon as Ukraine becomes part of NATO, the United States will be OBLIGATED to send many thousands of our brave soldiers to go on suicide missions to replace the many hundreds of thousands of brave Ukrainian soldiers sent on suicide missions that are now casualties of the war.

If the war goes on that long and isn't already nuclear,  I predict that its then, when the people in our country will FINALLY revolt against the war and demand peace. For one simple reason. We don't give a crap about nearly a million casualties in a war of attrition when its just those  Russians and Ukrainians dying. Our government and media have taught us to dehumanize those people and their families. 

However, Putin is not dumb. Because this might be in the cards, he is pouring it on and REALLY, REALLY obliterating Ukraine before NATO can send in troops. Even while the propaganda is pretending Ukraine still has a chance to win right now. Ukraine lost this war a long time ago and by an extremely wide margin and just drags out the extreme punishment by refusing to negotiate for peace.

And our despicable government and media blatantly lie to us about all these facts because all they care about is destroying Russia and Putin. No matter what it takes, how many casualties, how much damage.......how many and how big the  lies, it's all worth it to destroy Russia.

Putin to Boost Troop Numbers to 1.5 Million Active Soldiers

https://thedefensepost.com/2024/09/19/putin-boost-troop-numbers/

++++++++++

If Ukraine becomes part of NATO, then its a new war that NATO can win because it means the 32 countries in NATO, including their troops all combining  against Russia. In fact, Russia would not stand a chance. It's also why Putin would never invade Europe(unless in self defense from NATO weapons deep inside Russia).  It's also why, for Putin this has ALWAYS BEEN about keeping NATO from getting Ukraine.

This is exactly what NATO has always wanted. Putin, weakened by their war with Ukraine(Ukrainian soldiers sacrificing their lives for NATO)  would be easier to defeat by NATO.

Putin is crystal clear in understanding that but also knows that losing another country to NATO expansion around Russia with the objective of destroying Russia (and pretending to be defensive) may be the last straw that breaks and paves the way for the demise of Russia's future. .........which is the main objective of NATO. Unquestionably, despite the lies about it being a defensive pact.

So Putin has some choices to make. He can agree to let NATO have Ukraine and give up everything he won in the war with a retarded, 1 sided peace Zelensky agreement.........that means the demise of Russia's future.  Or he can fight a losing battle against NATO............but go down swinging and at least do his best to defend Russia's existence.

10%+ chance of this becoming a nuclear war right now.

50%+ chance of this becoming a nuclear war if NATO sends powerful missiles deep into Russia.

In the event of the later, the odds go so much higher for a nuclear war because Putin can't defeat 32 countries in NATO..........unless he resorts to nuclear weapons.

Once we make that grave, potentially catastrophic mistake of NATO sending its powerful missiles deep into Russia, there's no going back. We then wait to see what Putin does. Will he cave in and give up everything..........or will he resort to the one last thing that he has an advantage with. Nuclear weapons. Make no mistake his decisions will be desperate in attempt to defend the entire future existence of Russia. Doesn't matter what we think or the lies that we are being told. Putin's decision will be based on what he thinks/knows.

 So far, Putin has made decisions to exploit all the things that he has advantages with and as a result, completely crushed Ukraine very badly in every legit way. Zelensky has responded with nothing but blusterous decisions. Not one smart decision yet in this drawn out war(that Russia won a long time ago by every standard).

So with this track record of Putin, what should we expect Russia/Putin to do after being attacked with powerful NATO missiles and the promise of NATO escalating the war even more and the promise of NATO troops replacing all the Ukraine casualties?

50%+ chance he resorts to nuclear weapons. At that point, we will all look back at this war and say, "dang, it should never have happened and we could have stopped the insanity at any point"

I will educated guess that, at first  he would not attack the US directly with the nuclear weapons because that ensures mutual destruction but instead will only use them sparingly to show that he WILL USE THEM in a war against NATO for Russia's survival.

Any sites that launch long range missiles deeply into Russia will be completely obliterated by Putin with a strategic use of nuclear weapons to:

1. Defend Russia by incapacitating those sites from further sending more long range missiles

2. Demonstrate that he WILL use nuclear weapons to defend Russia against NATO

This is actually the most logical response that we should expect from Putin if NATO attacks with long range missiles.

+++++++++++++

After Putin does this, then the propaganda will go into overdrive (even though one would think it couldn't be even worse- it can).

OMG, Putin just used nuclear weapons!  Putin just used nuclear weapons!

Never mind that we provoked him over and over and he warned us over and over and NATO just attacked him with powerful missiles deep inside Russia.

 Putin just used nuclear weapons!

At that point, NATO either finally negotiates for peace and agrees to NOT expand into Ukraine FINALLY or they don't..............and we have an escalation to nuclear WW3 with the daily fear that we will wake up to find out all is lost for the human race........while the MSM gets block buster, record ratings and internet traffic from the petrified masses.

And the chance of that happening is more than 50% if NATO will not negotiate and continues to attack Russia.

Ukraine's victory plan fully ready, Zelensky says

https://kyivindependent.com/ukraine-victory-plan-ready/

+++++++++++++++

Look at the map below and try to imagine what Zelensky's "victory plan" might be.

How is the blue on the map below, that's lost over half its military going to defeat the red, which continues to take more and more territory as Ukraine continues to claim successes and paths to victory. 

The longer they refuse to acknowledge the truth, the bigger the losses. 

Now, NATO wants to send NATO missiles deep into Russia and act as if NATO has already expanded into Ukraine and still call it Ukraine fighting, when its really NATO with US missiles directly attacking deep into Russia. 

Then, when Putin responds, possibly with nuclear weapons to take out the sites launching the missiles, the propaganda will vilify Russia for reacting logically. Hopefully, Putin's use of nuclear weapons will be very limited(if he uses them) and only take out military targets in Ukraine. BUT THERE WILL BE ALOT OF CIVILIAN CASUALTIES. 

In the REAL RATIONAL WORLD, when there is a battlefield map like the one below, the blue stops pretending that it will win and they negotiate for peace to stop their side from continued, worsening obliteration. 

The dead serious question, all things OBJECTIVELY considered is why would we expect Putin to NOT use nuclear weapons to defend against  NATO attacks with long range missiles?

Once the nuclear weapons come out, then what does NATO do? 

Keep pretending that Ukraine will win and counter with US nuclear weapons on the missiles deep into Russia?

Been nice knowing you if that happens.

 https://thebulletin.org/2024/09/the-new-red-line-why-a-prolonged-conflict-in-ukraine-makes-a-nuclear-attack-more-likely/

A counterintuitive outcome. The United States has lengthened the war and made it far bloodier and indecisive than it needed to be. Oddly enough, this probably makes it more likely that Putin will use a nuke. The longer a war goes on, the more politically intense and brutal it gets. People start contemplating doing things they would not have contemplated at the start. In other words, the real escalation is not one of weapons; it’s the one that happens in leaders’ minds.

A shorter, sharp war is almost certainly less likely to lead to nuclear weapons usage than a longer, unstable, and embittered one.

After two-and-a-half years of full-scale conventional war, many of the assumptions underlying the use of nuclear weapons lie in tatters. Strategists need to rethink and reframe this debate entirely. And it’s important to start soon. The old policies that counselled against escalation because it could lead to nuclear weapons usage might prove to have entirely the opposite effect.

+++++++++++

Again, if NATO sends powerful missiles deeply into Russia, the chance of Putin responding with nuclear weapons is GREATER THAN 50% based on a logical response from him. ........and that's conservative.

Most likely he will use them to, initially obliterate the sites which launched the attacks. Though targeted specifically this will cause even more civilian deaths and mass casualties in a war that is already approaching a million casualties.

This can end tomorrow if NATO agrees to NOT expand into Ukraine, instead of Biden and Zelensky making constant statements about Ukraine joining NATO ASAP and that Ukraine can win this war...........if they never give up and keep fighting(now, with less than 50% of the Ukrainian military left and Russia already winning the war of attrition).

Zelenskyy reacts to WSJ claim of 80,000 Ukrainian soldiers killed in action: That's a lie

                    KATERYNA TYSHCHENKO — Saturday, 21 September 2024, 16:30                

https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2024/09/21/7476174/

Background:

  • On 17 September, the Wall Street Journal claimed that the combined losses of Russian and Ukrainian forces since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion in 2022 could surpass one million troops.
  • In particular, the newspaper claimed that "a confidential Ukrainian estimate from earlier this year put the number of dead Ukrainian troops at 80,000 and the wounded at 400,000".
  • "Western intelligence estimates of Russian casualties vary, with some putting the number of dead as high as nearly 200,000 and wounded at around 400,000," the WSJ added.

++++++++++++

The reason that I feel confident in the HIGHER LOSS numbers for Ukraine, including that they've lost over half of their original army are legit stories like this one:

                Ukraine anxious after Biden’s exit            

                            By metmike - Sept. 8, 2024, 6:19 p.m.    

              "Ukrainian soldiers in the area paint a grim picture of the situation. Kyiv’s forces are clearly outnumbered and outgunned, with some commanders estimating there are 10 Russian soldiers to each Ukrainian."

++++++++++++

Ukraine has clearly LOST the war of attrition by a wide margin, a long time ago and Zelensky continues to lie about that and everything else, while sending his remaining brave soldiers on suicide missions and pretending they will win. He is clearly working for NATO by every measure based on every Ukrainian devastating decision to serve NATO. 

Please bring Ukrainians the peace that they want  badly and restore elections so they can oust dictator Zelensky.

You claim that we can end the war by promising to not allow Ukraine to join NATO.  I believe you are mistaken.  But let’s suppose that were to happen.  Would that include Russia removing all their forces from the Ukrainian territory they took with military aggression?  If you believe that I would say that you are hopelessly naive.

If you’ve followed me the past 2+ years, I’ve constantly noted that the longer the war goes on, the more land that ukraine will need to lose along with that agreement Because Ukraine is the loser of this war.

I’ve posted over a dozen times that ZERO LAND would have been lost with the initial attempt by Putin to negotiate to keep NATO from expanding into Ukraine but Zelensky/Biden shut that down and instead let Putin follow thru with his threat to stop NATO by invading Ukraine.

ill copy some previous posts on that when back in the office.

Since Russia clearly won this war over NATO, no reasonable person would think that the loser would tell the winner that they have to give back everything they just won during the fiercely fought war.

As I’ve stated forever, the longer this goes on, the more Ukraine loses…….casualties and land.

The claim that Putin will go farther into NATO countries is based on ignorance of facts or intentional misleading By propaganda sources.

putin drew a line in the sand on NATO expansion into Ukraine and has made that super duper crystal clear in all his negotiation attempts. As well as never expressing a desire to get NATO out of European countries ALREADY IN NATO.

However, he did want a roll back of  the powerful, OFFENSIVE US WEAPONS AIMED AT RUSSIA IN THE NATO COUNTRIES , similar to our demands during the Cuban missile crisis…….which is a reasonable demand….from his stand point.

The loser doesn’t get the winners take after it’s over in any realm.

NATO  and Biden, recruited Zelensky and decided to fight Putin for  NATO expansion  into Ukraine .

the longer they fight  over Ukraine, the more land they have been losing to Putin.

In the Olympics, last place doesn’t get the gold metal.

If we have a $100 bet on the outcome of something and you win or are about  to win, I don’t demand my $100 back and pretend there are no consequences to LOSING the bet.

Here are some examples, noting that Ukraine is losing land because it fights on. There are just a fraction of the mentions.

From this thread:

https://www.marketforum.com/forum/topic/106160/#106161

History will NOT note Joe Biden’s key role in this.

regardless, there is a near 0 chance that Russia would ever have invaded Ukraine with trump as president.

Trump would have told Putin and NATO……ok, we agree with Putins demand that NATOs relentless expansion to surround and provoke Russia will NOT happen if NATO wants the US to keep dishing out most of its support.

No war.

Ukraine saved, losing no more land.

NATO, led by the Biden administration in 2021 blocked negotiations with Russia, regarding NATO's expansion into Ukraine.

All that Putin wanted was for NATO to STOP expanding and he drew a line in the sand around Ukraine. That was it entirely, folks. All the fictional stories you might hear from the dishonest media never include that.

If NATO had just told Putin that it would not expand into Ukraine, there would never have been a war. Ukraine would NOT have lost all this additional land.

"He said that victory or defeat in Ukraine would determine the fate of all of Europe."

Wrong! This entire war is because Putin does not want Ukraine to be part of NATO.........end of story! Near 0%  chance of Putin going after anything but Ukraine.  

Again, Putin doesn't want Ukraine to be part of NATO, which includes not having US military bases and loaded warhead missiles aimed at him from Ukraine.

NATO/The West, Biden and Zelensky continue to lie about it to scare people into thinking we must contain Putin now or he will be like Hitler.  0% chance of that.  While Ukraine loses more and more land to Russia over it, fighting an already lost war.

What will be the outcome be after they finally negotiate peace:

1. Maybe NATO does get most of Ukraine and Putin only gets the part that he won in the war?

2. Maybe NATO doesn't get Ukraine and Putin gives back part of it to keep NATO out?

3.  US powerful missiles aimed at Russia from NATO countries surrounding Russia was a negotiable item for Putin BEFORE the war. That was not likely to happen before  but will NEVER happen now that NATO is even more hyped up about the fake threat to NATO countries/Europe from Russia. 

Extremely likely that, when they restore elections, that will be required after the peace settlement, that Zelensky is voted out by the people appreciating the decimation that he caused to their people/country in a war featuring him making nothing but really, really bad decisions for Ukraine, 1 after another.

The presidential election coming up, with Harris almost for sure winning has some potentially profound impacts for the next couple of months, some of which are unpredictable. Here's some guesses:

1. Trump not winning means no regime change or people with sanity on this issue to negotiate with. Doesn't that sound odd? Trump is the leader with sanity on this particular issue! That's how bad Biden/Zelensky/NATO have been. Much more insane than Trump on the Ukraine war!!

2. Harris wants to lead up to the election showing a position of strength in the Ukraine war by this administration to mislead voters into thinking they made smart decisions and Ukraine will still win the war. Instead of voters realizing that this administration made nothing but extreme catastrophic blunders with every decision for everybody(except for the military-industrial-political-media complex gatekeepers with self serving interests/agenda) , including flushing 200,000,000,000 of our tax dollars down the toilet to kill and injure people and decimate Ukraine.........in order to weaken Russia.

3. The Biden/Harris/ administration, colluding with our corrupt intelligence agencies and MSM came out with a pre emptive strike to trick voters into thinking any form of the truth on this that they read/hear before the election is just that very worn out false narrative......Russian interference:
