You've been wrong, so far. Why stop now?
[QUOTE=DramaFree11;2706828]Great idea, let's pull the weapons, consultants, CIA, and the money. Let's see how well the great Ukraine army does, they sure as hell were not calling the shots at the beginning, maybe a little now. They have done amazing up to this point, but now is time for compromise. Yes, Ukraine is partially to blame for this mess they are in and if the get greedy they will end up flattened and broke. That is not a win, even in the liberal world.
If gas prices keep going up and Bidden refuses to drill then Putin can go on for ever. Hell you guys are making him richer and Russia. They can work around the sanctions. We dodge a bullet with Covid, the economies were battered, and started to rebound, but I doubt we will be so lucky this time, I hope I am wrong.[/QUOTE]You really should drop the pretense that you give even one iota of shit about Ukraine. It's patently clear that you don't, so what's the point of compounding stupidity with dishonesty?
Every single one of your posts simply oozes ill will against Ukraine. And, when the transparently BS window dressing is stripped away, the hateful bile is there for all to see.
At least our other resident haters, Pedro M and Golfinho, are honest shambolic losers. You're just a shambolic loser who lacks even a shred of honesty.
Firing Squads for British "Helpers"
We can all agree the captured British and Moroccan mercenaries are getting off lightly. A firing squad is too good for their types. But then we have full flown racists, Hasbara trolls and Russophobes here, all happy to see the corrupt Zelensky regime figt to the last Ukrainian Nazis, thousands of whom are now POWs (unlike the mercenaries).
All political parties, bar the Nazis, are now banned in Ukraine and their assets confiscated.
Playing Russian roulette with Russia. Tomorrow Bosnia. Tsar Nicholas got to Paris. Drive the Americans and their Nazis and ISIS puppets out of Europe.
Whether We Like it or Not.
A well balanced Article which doesn't read like an Early End to the war.

Main points of concern. "Correspondents being briefed by Whitehall officials last week were surprised to be warned that the UK and United States now expect the fighting in Ukraine to go on to the end of the year".
"Ukrainian forces realise that they are in for a long fight — and British strategic analysts now think the war itself and security crisis is set to run for at least three years more".
Conclusion. 'The war has become like firelighter fuel on the flaring cost-of-living emergency — affecting the food and energy security of this country. Supporting Ukraine against Russian aggression is now part of the UK's own survival and prosperity. As many in Washington and Whitehall now recognise, this is no longer a discretionary matter".

Because, when Tsar (ina) Putin decides to "retake" it, or "liberate" it, many of the forum members will be excited to cheer your good fortune.
Putin is a murderous, fascist, thug. And he'd smash you like a bug without giving it a second thought. His "best case" scenario is that cancer kills him before he can be put on trial for his heinous war crimes.
Anyone paying attention understands there's no quick or easy solution.

While I'm not criticizing this specific article, it seems to me that most mainstream media outlets tend to be more a part of the problem than the solution. All too often they either restate the obvious or focus breathlessly on every little ebb and flow in the conflict.
Unfortunately, it's not as sexy (or as positive for ratings) to point out that defeating Russian imperial ambitions will require a long and concerted effort. So it's of paramount importance to guard against mental and emotional fatigue among the freedom-loving countries supporting Ukraine. That means continuing encouragement and support, in any way you can, for Ukrainian resistance is the way to go.
Another criticism I have of most media is their tendency to rely on sources that I would describe as low-hanging fruit. Any government source, for example, carries with it an implicit agenda. That doesn't mean the information is necessarily wrong or untrue, it simply means that the agenda needs to be taken into account.
With this current example, it's possible that the UK government, faced with high inflation and economic stresses, is trying to offload some or all of the responsibility onto the conflict. And it appears they're conditioning the public to expect more of the same. That may not be wrong, but it's an effective way for the govt to avoid making specific policy moves to address current conditions. Much easier to say that everything going on is due to factors beyond their control.
But, all criticism aside, I will applaud the authors for concluding the article with "Supporting Ukraine against Russian aggression is now part of the UK's own survival and prosperity. As many in Washington and Whitehall now recognize, this is no longer a discretionary matter," a statement which is not only true but strikes the right tone.
Defeat Russia, problem solved
[QUOTE=DramaFree11;2707106]Yes, I hate there government and the corruption. Most of all I hate a useless war, that is causing damage world wide. Find a solution.[/QUOTE]There, fixed it for you! Happy now?
And, as an added bonus, my proposed solution not only takes care of the current situation, it also addresses the future threat posed to millions who live in places that Russia might decide are their historical birthright, or whatever other bogus (ex. Denazification) justification they feel like using.
