    I'd preferred we send people for peace talks... more weapons is only helping the weapons manufacturers, but not helping end the war... People need to come to terms, Ukraine cannot win this war...but we will flood them with weapons as long as they're useful for making money for the defense industry. When they aren't useful any longer we will turn our backs and walk away....

      I know I will get hate for that, but the truth is the truth.. The sooner peace talks begin the better for everyone involved.. 
    ukraine is currently winning the war right now though.
    What’s the score?

    A thousand dead Russians per day.  

    Are you arguing that the concept of winning a war isn't a thing?

    Peace talks are great. Most think Ukraine is resigned to losing Crimea and far eastern oblasts that they lost in 2014. But that wasn't enough for Putin.  War are you suggesting each side should give?

    Do you all know who didn't have any wars under his watch??  that's right snowflakes! None other than the 45th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump!!!  loud cheers and whistles.......
    Guess we can blame the deaths of US servicemembers during the withdrawal from Afghanistan on POOTWH, then? Seeing how POOTWH had no wars during its term.

    Boo, boo, hiss, hiss!

    what are you babbling about libtard-aplorable?  Pretty sure that old puppet FJB was in charge of the disastrous withdraw of AFG, leaving hundreds in not thousands of AMericans behind.  You outta be ashamed of yourself being a self proclaimed libtard and proud.  America LAST with the Dems!  
    You know what is delusional? That from January 2017, when POOTWH stole the white house with putin on the ritz's assistance, until his sorry ass left office in disgrace in January 2021, 63 US service members died in Afghanistan. Upon Brandon taking office until today, 13 US service members died in Afghanistan. I know now that MAGA world thinks 63 is smaller than 13.

    But you know what's funnier? If you take into consideration that total Covid deaths, on average for the time POOTWH and Brandon had/have been in office, POOTWH wins that contest as well, particularly if you believe 55,209 deaths per month is less than 41,671 deaths per month. Put another way, if POOTWH were POTUS today and folks were shining lights up their ass, or injecting bleach or taking ivermectin, there'd be another 230,146 dead 'Muricans. So much winning. Unless you believe covid is a hoax and all of those "deaths" are really dem voters that fled the country and are vacationing in Cuba or China?

    And you know what else is funny? And Q told me this. What do you get if you multiply 6X3X1X3 and then subtract the sum, you know sum right, the number you get when you add two numbers, of 6+3? I'm sure you do. Well, lets work it out, together: 6X3=18X1=18X3=54; 6+3=9; 54-9=, do you know? Can you guess? Holy shit! 45! The Storm is Coming!

    How's that for woke?

    can we not use the word "woke" until maga has a grasp of the concept, or at least a definition that they can all agree on?

    at this point, woke is basically anything they hate, which is basically everything.

    Not for Ukraine it isn't... they can't sustain the war in either manpower or territory..regardless of how many weapons we send. Every single day they're losing ground...

    Where are they losing ground every day?  At the beginning of the war, Russia was able to move through Kherson, Kharkov and to the suburbs of Kiev.  But Ukraine pushed them almost all the way back to the 2014 borders, although Ukraine has not taken back all of the far east, specifically Mariupol.  The last Russian offensive is currently stalled at Bakhmut, turning into a Stalingrad.  

    Most estimates have Russian casualties and deaths exceeding Ukrainian by 6-7x.  In fact, the US thinks Russian casualties (not deaths) could be approaching 200k.  What price is Russia willing to pay to take Kiev?  We know the Ukrainians will die for their independence.  We should be proud to support them.  They represent the best of the American ideal in the world today.

    Exactly....Yes both sides will give in any peace talks... First Ukraine will never get Crimea or the Eastern provinces back. Hell their government has been at war with the eastern provinces since 2014.. Those areas really haven't been part of Ukraine since the overthrow (Coup) of the government. Russia will give in the peace talks by stopping aggressive maneuvers further into Ukraine and will probably pull back to an agreed line. 
    Ukraine will also have to not become part of NATO... if none of this can be agreed upon then over time Russia will take all of Ukraine and the only thing we can do is start WW3 to stop them. i'm guessing most clear thinking people would not want that... so Ukraine would be sacrificed. 

    IMHO this peace would probably have already been agreed upon without the meddling and weapons from us..

    Not at all. Casualties are just one of the factors, though. Personally, it’s hard to say who is winning while portions of ukraine are unwantedly under russian control. As someone who has zero first hand knowledge of the situation, I also don’t feel qualified to make that assumption.

    Russia could simply stop the offensive now and withdraw.  But Ukraine will not and should (nor should we agree to) promise to never join NATO.  That is a total infringement on another country's sovereignty.  I also do not think, for one moment, that the reason Putin invaded Ukraine was about NATO.  It was about expanding the Russian Federation's territory and sphere of influence.  

    If you think Russia will eventually win, I would point you to Vietnam, Afghanistan circa 1980 and Afghanistan circa 2005 as evidence why that is not a foregone conclusion.

    What about sending another 100 billion dollars to the UK government??  Surely by washing tax payer money and spreading it around the corrupt wasteland of what is essentially the last of the wild, wild west for the US will stop the war.  Just like climate change!!  more money will stop it!

    Was the tax payer money hand washed, or put through a machine? 

    line dried?

    we sent 100 billion to the united kingdom?
    Maybe he's talking about Lend Lease during WW2? He's right,  helping the woke British fight the Nazis was a huge mistake.  I never thought about it that way.

    Poland is sending the Ukraine some fighter jets. It's about time somebody did! I hope more countries follow their lead.
    I'd preferred we send people for peace talks... more weapons is only helping the weapons manufacturers, but not helping end the war... People need to come to terms, Ukraine cannot win this war...but we will flood them with weapons as long as they're useful for making money for the defense industry. When they aren't useful any longer we will turn our backs and walk away....

      I know I will get hate for that, but the truth is the truth.. The sooner peace talks begin the better for everyone involved.. 
    Peace talks are great. Most think Ukraine is resigned to losing Crimea and far eastern oblasts that they lost in 2014. But that wasn't enough for Putin.  War are you suggesting each side should give?
    Exactly....Yes both sides will give in any peace talks... First Ukraine will never get Crimea or the Eastern provinces back. Hell their government has been at war with the eastern provinces since 2014.. Those areas really haven't been part of Ukraine since the overthrow (Coup) of the government. Russia will give in the peace talks by stopping aggressive maneuvers further into Ukraine and will probably pull back to an agreed line. 
    Ukraine will also have to not become part of NATO... if none of this can be agreed upon then over time Russia will take all of Ukraine and the only thing we can do is start WW3 to stop them. i'm guessing most clear thinking people would not want that... so Ukraine would be sacrificed. 

    IMHO this peace would probably have already been agreed upon without the meddling and weapons from us.. 
    Russia could simply stop the offensive now and withdraw.  But Ukraine will not and should (nor should we agree to) promise to never join NATO.  That is a total infringement on another country's sovereignty.  I also do not think, for one moment, that the reason Putin invaded Ukraine was about NATO.  It was about expanding the Russian Federation's territory and sphere of influence.  

    If you think Russia will eventually win, I would point you to Vietnam, Afghanistan circa 1980 and Afghanistan circa 2005 as evidence why that is not a foregone conclusion.  
    Why would you cite US backed factions that lost?  That doesn't inspire confidence for our picks.

    What about sending another 100 billion dollars to the UK government??  Surely by washing tax payer money and spreading it around the corrupt wasteland of what is essentially the last of the wild, wild west for the US will stop the war.  Just like climate change!!  more money will stop it! 
    Did you mean Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom? While Jim wrestles with the Putin on the ritz, POOTWH will tell us about the woke?
