I have often said that Russian dialogue is essentially different from Western dialogue in that Russian speaking is direct and without pretense. This difference is very visible when outlining positions built on pragmatic acceptances.
Recently, Russian President Vladimir Putin was asked about the status of negotiations with Ukraine. President Putin notes some of the internal political issues within Ukraine must be deconflicted in order for discussions to proceed. Without these issues resolved, discussion is futile.
Russian President Vladimir Putin: “First. After all, quite recently, the leadership of the Kyiv regime, mildly speaking unflatteringly of us, and excluded all possibility of direct Contacts. Now we see that they are asking for these contacts, at least Offer.
I have repeatedly said that I am ready for these contacts. At the news conference in Beijing, which you mentioned, I said that there is no point in I don’t see much of it. Why? Because it will be agreed with the Ukrainian side is almost impossible on key issues.
Even if there is a political will, What I doubt is that there are legal and technical difficulties that are that any agreements on territories must be confirmed in accordance with the Constitution of Ukraine at a referendum. In order to hold a referendum, martial law must be lifted, Martial law is not carried out. If martial law is lifted, it is necessary to immediately hold presidential elections.
After the referendum, if it is held, regardless of the results, it is necessary to obtain a decision of the Constitutional Court. And the constitutional court does not work, because after requests, as I understand it, to the Constitutional Court about the legitimacy of the current government, the court evaded these decisions, and the head of the regime He simply ordered the guards not to let the chairman of the Constitutional Court into the working place.
This is the kind of democracy there. And the chairman of the Supreme Court is just sitting in prison on corruption charges. It is well known that Ukraine has enough of this Corruption. But why was it necessary to send the chairman of the supreme court to prison to plant, it is not very clear. Although it is clear that it came to destruction their judicial system as such. This is another of the striking signs of “democracy” current Ukrainian authorities.
Therefore, this endless process is going nowhere. Nevertheless, we said that we are ready for a summit meeting.
Listen, the Ukrainian side wants this meeting and offers this one Meeting. I said: ready, please come, we are definitely completely We will provide working conditions and safety, the guarantee is one hundred percent. But if We are told we want to meet with you, but you go there for this meeting, it seems to me that these are just their excessive requests to us.
I repeat once again: if someone really wants to meet with us, we Ready. The best place for this is the capital of the Russian Federation, the hero city Moscow.” {SOURCE}
Vladimir Putin: “We have an open dialogue with President Trump. There is an agreement that in case of We can call, contact, and talk to each other. He knows that I am open to these conversations; And he too – I know about it. But so far, we have not had conversations in Europe based on the results of these consultations. Actually, it was difficult for me to do this, I had just come from China, I’m here. We have no problems with communications here. First.
Secondly, regarding possible military contingents in Ukraine. This is one of the root causes of Ukraine’s involvement in NATO. Therefore, if there are some troops appear, especially now, in the course of hostilities, We proceed from the assumption that these will be legitimate targets for their destruction.
And if solutions are reached that lead to peace, to long-term peace, then I simply do not see any point in them being on the territory of Ukraine, that’s all.
If agreements are reached, let no one doubt that Russia will comply with them in full. We will respect those guarantees security, which, of course, must be worked out both for Russia and for Ukraine. And I repeat once again: of course, Russia will agree to these agreements execute. In any case, no one has discussed this with us on a serious level, that’s all.”
I wonder which country will restore free and fair elections first, USA or Ukraine?
Certainly not Calyforeignia.
How is it going Living in a One Party, Bolshevik state?
Just asking. I’m in GA and it’s Two Corrupt Parties here, so not being morally smug.
The Floridian Hood Ol’ Boy Republican’t Cartel is a cruel joke when you look under the hood and kick the tires..
Very true.
Florida is in all actuality very RINO blue.
My city mayor just went from RINO to a real Democrat.
Yep.
Sounds very much like Texas.
It is. At one point I was considering skinning out to deepest East Texas from my North Central Florida refuge when I felt the walls closing in as waaaay too many City Folks started to pile into my State that was already approaching “standing room only” during the Scamdemic.
Then I read about Colony Ridge or whatever that huge tent city of illegals outside Houston was called, and figured the devil I knew was going to have to do.
We are in the hill country, we too are over run by people fleeing blue states. The problem is they bring that crap with them. If you didn’t like it there, don’t bring it here. Texas is actually blue just pretending to be Red. We used to live in Sarasota, same story back then, Blue pretending to be Red. Its not safe anywhere actually, just hunker down and protect your own.
I’m “dug in like an Alabama tick”..
CR is very close to Houston. You’ll be ok if you”re North of Lufkin.
Florida is now full of people from New York and New Jersey. The ones that have used their vote (and money) to totally screw up their states, but don’t want to have to live in the mess THEY made anymore. They don’t have the balls to stay in their own state and fix what they effed up… Now they’re turning Florida into a sunnier version of New York and New Jersey. At a city council meeting I was asked what I would rather have a cow, or a phone tower. A city council woman actually said that she sympathized with me, but that they needed to “fill in all of the green spaces within the city while they can.” Unfortunately the city has expanded for miles and miles outside of the city.
Anyone that tries to say that Florida is a red/purple state… Is color blind. Our state government is being bought and paid for by the same people that have totally destroyed northern states.
ha ha ha ha
DeSantis and the Legislature created new rules for HOA’s that basically sent the condo real estate market into a free fall.
Now some legislators are floating a trial balloon about outlawing HOA’s.
Dumb as a box of rocks.
Add Texas to the list of fake MAGA states. Total clown show over there.
this would not be happening if HOA’s had not turned into a tyranny of Karens. HOAs have brought on their own destruction.
Gov. land grab using Willing Karen’s to destroy communities.
“You will own nothing”
Insurance, property taxes are strangling homeowners. HOA lawyers will finish them off.
Every time I see Ossoff or Warnock, I just want to scream. We didn’t elect either one of their evil behinds.
These two clowns are known electoral frauds – 100 percent.
I am a senator as much as they are.
Exactly!
We have two parties in Texas but they are both inhabited by demonrats.
weakling abbott and rinopublicans……
Are you saying Brian Kemp is corrupt? Why I never!
Kemp is just a white skinny Stacy Abrams….maybe just 0.00000000000000000000000000009% degrees to the right of her…
Where I live, its 40:1 dem/REP. Everyone I know here hates Trump. It’s been a weird existence since 2008. I manage, but at best, its not easy. At worst, its like Jonestown.
I can relate here in Seattle
Maryland for sure. The Eastern and Western extremes are mostly Rep leaning but the central counties and Baltimore City offset that by at least 2:1. The governor is a Marxist plant and will likely be running in 2028 for the big prize.
I don’t see how we can have fair elections until it is guaranteed in all 50 states. Including Illinois, Minnesota, and California. And all the so-called swing states.
California has 12% of the US House of Representatives. If the Marxists/Socialists get their Agenda 2030 15 minute cities it will the end of any perception of Freedom.
Add Massachusetts to your list. President Trump got 40% of the vote here but not a single R down ballot was elected.
Throw in Arizona….Weak ass repug party, and the residuals of McCain. 120% worthless Gov, inserted sec state and A G. Say nothing of our two brain dead senators.
AZ: Utterly and completely and criminally stolen, and our useless Repubs let it happen or actively cooperated.
AZ: Democrats were out on the highway here and in our Veterans Park trying to get a/recall/ impeachment petition signed for the one County supervisor who wanted a recount of the ballots. The local leftist skew-paper never quit with the negative articles. Haven’t renewed my subscription since then. This just seems so crazy that it is so fruitless to try to get Repubs elected here. George Soros is a curse on our country!!
Ha-Ha—- Define “Fair”. In CA it ain’t fair unless the dem wins.
And they will continue counting until that happens and then suddenly stop, oftentimes weeks after the election. Oh yeah, and most repub politicians here are not worth a bucket of warm spit.
They are gutless, uninspired, and run from every fight. They live in fear of being called racist.
CA has become pretty sucky and expensive, but I was born here, and my Mom is still living here.
She’d crap a brick if I moved out of state. I have been very tempted though. I need more workspace, but am priced out now.
Strange here in Illinois all of us, the conservatives, vote democrat after we die.
Not Germany. SIXTEEN AfD candidates killed.
We need to pay attention to this. They do these limited, test strikes before they roll out this new murderous method across the board.
Coming to a voting district near you.

Oh my!
First report was 4, next was 7, and now 16???
And this has developed in only a matter of days.
Oh Lord.
Even for germany, this is beyond shocking and of grave concern.
Nazis being Nazis
I imagine the media is reporting that the AfD is the party of the Nazis.
Naturally..
Rolling eyes….
I believe it’s bolsheviks being bolsheviks
I think the 16 number includes candidates of other parties, I think it’s still 7 AfD candidates. Still that’s alot of people in a short amount of time. I’m a suspicious cat!
Me-ow too.
It can’t be a coincidence.
Not all AfD. But still very disturbing as they are all from opposition parties.
https://en.protothema.gr/2025/09/05/concern-is-growing-in-germany-about-the-16-candidates-who-died-before-the-elections/
It’s the damn clot shot!
Is it up to sixteen now?
Last I saw it was seven.
Hillary was visiting the Germany “leaders”?
we got one last shot at that title, cal, it’s now or never and must be accomplished quickly
if not taken care of by the midterms, well…
kiss the usa and personal freedom adieu
great post
The problem is we only have 1 branch in the govt today, the uni-party deep state. The legislative, executive and judicial branches no longer exist to separate powers. The deep state consists of at least 1 million federal employees and millions of NGO employees.
How do we clean up this level of corruption and TPTB that want the US destroyed?
that issue gets addressed quite clearly and often in the federalist papers, Ian
since the ds blob is large, entrenched and unwaveringly comfortable with the status quo
in the end, there is only us left to rescue ourselves, there exists no other option or alternative
Military.
President Trump needs to get rid of over 60% of the federal workforce. Most of it is working against his agenda. It is our only hope. Dept of Ed needs closure. Most of those tentacles in the drawing of the capitol need to be clipped.
Democrats Do Not Want Safe Cities, Do Not Want Vaccines or Drugs Tested, Do Not want Illegals removed, and Do not want the Flow of Drugs Stopped, and finally most of them are Ok with child trafficking and mutilation.
Then we have Islamists wanting to overthrow local governments and kill all of us.
“Then we have Islamists wanting to overthrow local governments and kill all of us.”
While the Democrats want to take our guns away.
Might be we will have to draft Trump Admin to lengthen their stay till the job is finished. If he doesn’t the Kenyan CCP will gladly grab total power and reduce our population by half. Those 16 candidates in Germany….eyes on England…These are very “Interesting” times.
So far we…and I don’t mean the clowns in Washington…have been playing by the rules: Have elections, run the best candidate possible. Then the Monty Python foot comes down and we go ” We’ll get ’em next time.”
Isn’t the definition of insanity doing the same thing over and over even if it doesn’t work?
I pray and watch. But I also see how well that has worked for other Christians across the globe.
I didn’t mention votes or rules. What you said rings true also.
Desperate times require desperate measures.
I hear a lot of crickets! About fair and fair elections? Nah!
when it comes to guaranteeing free and fair elections, all 535 superheroes got a serious case of lockjaw
LOL
Either negotiate a lasting peace, or Russia will keep fighting/winning the war.
Simple enough, not complex enough for the EU eunichs though, who need complexity to drag the USA into their war..
The A5 that the euroweenies depend on to drag us in will not help them if they present their troops to Russia as legitimate targets inside of Ukraine.
Targeting their troops there isn’t an attack on their own nations but on their offensive forces.
but our President Trump will, sadly said, play the politics of such an occurrence. it is in his dna…he operates by seeking the negotiating edge. I foresee a wider, more costly, and more dangerous war. Trump could have ended it in the spring by canceling all armament shipments to Europe…but he chose to play politics!
La de dah de dah… So say you from your mountain top all-encompassing view (or at least what you think is an all-encompassing view).
If only you could go to DC to guide him through what you see as an easy-to-solve problem!
Oh, wait. Maybe that’s not a good idea… Maybe things are not as simple as you imagine…
Exactly. He has access and knowledge that we are clueless about.
Yes, like due to tariffs and the fact that all those countries were milking the US, they will all run out of money to purchase weapons in a heartbeat. Optics. Trump is not the bad guy.
Interesting Morse code there MS. Was that I T A?
No, no. Don’t you see, defense stocks are doing well. By selling MORE armaments to Europe, we assure employment in the defense industry AND the potential for increasing profits….a boom for my pension portfolio. Besides, why should we care what happens on the other side of the world. Conflicts/war are nothing new, especially in Europe. Those folks love a ‘good’ war…almost as much as we do, and we’ll help them conduct it. No, this is an investment opportunity just as the ‘pandemic’ was for pharmaceuticals. Trick is timing. Know when to get in and more importantly, know when to get out……..
Your welcome!
Now for the slow, and I really shouldn’t have mention it, but, this is SARCASM.
Not sarcasm at all yadent. Absolutely spot on.
A sick world we are.
It’s almost as if it’s not so black and white simple. RU also doesn’t want peace. They’ve played loose with the truth quite a bit
the fact that the policy positions as far as freedom go,in the E.U. are essentially no different from russia’s weighs heavily on trumps decision. let them go at it. canada wants some too. get on over canucks. but the crown royal is heading south of your border.

There are thousands of foreign “advisors” in You krane .
Who do you think is controlling the strings of the puppets.?
Ask a little bird in Langley or Whitehall in London.
Putin is saying he won’t negotiate with the illegitimate leadership of Ukraine, also known as the CIA.
Simply what I’ve been saying: hold elections.
Zelensky enjoys being a dictator with the permission of the EU and CIA.
If I understand the circle jerk the CIA set up, they can’t hold elections until martial law is lifted and they can’t lift martial law until the court rules on something and the court can’t rule until the chairman of the court gets out of prison so he can open the court proceedings.
Sounds just like Biden and the CIA.
Maybe the Russians need to break the chairman out of prison.
We need to cancel elections to save “democracy”.
Exactly… a wee bit more complicated than just “refuse to negotiate with cia derp derp”.
“…they can’t hold elections until martial law is lifted and they can’t lift martial law until the court rules on something and the court can’t rule until the chairman of the court gets out of prison so he can open the court proceedings”
That’s Catch 22
That is the best way to get rid of the idiot Zelensky – Trump should insist on it before moving another inch.
And he shouldn’t. And I hope he and his Russian army can annihilate the CIA in Ukraine. Something I never thought I would write even 20 years ago.
a hunnert.
This is one of the root causes of Ukraine’s involvement in NATO. Therefore, if there are some troops appear, especially now, in the course of hostilities, We proceed from the assumption that these will be legitimate targets for their destruction.
I note he also took the time to remind the EU of the potential cost of their posturing.
This is an interesting translation from him, less-polished than some. The direct nature of the language (which seldom uses articles like ‘the’) sometimes gets muddled when trying to move to English. But direct it is.
I don’t believe that the Ukraine will be in any position to do much of anything, as it looks like the Russians are running the table on all fronts. They will be the one’s who hold elections in the Ukraine.
oh, when you were there at the front were you able to get any images of the Russians running the table with “7,000, formerly ( 2,500 and 5,000 ) dead soldiers per week”?
Im sure Ben Stiller and Sean Penn got dibs on producing the first Hollywood movie ‘based on real events’ of course. There are real photos on google that prove Ben Stiller was at the front lines btw.
Every day Russia makes territory gains, all over the front lines. You know when Ukraine does something, it makes the US Press and that is not very often. Ukraine is losing many more troops than the Russians
I much prefer the no bullsh!t Russian approach to Politics.
President Putin’s country has made great economic progress and made significant social improvements since the collapse of the Soviet Union and the ensuing darkness that followed throughout the 90s there. This included giving the Russian people back their church.
Ukraine, meanwhile, has descended into unspeakable corruption and whoredoms, including taking away the peoples’ church, taking away the peoples’ freedoms, suspending their elections, their constitutional rights and squandering their very lives in an unwinnable war the ukrainian government itself provoked.
It’s looking more and more like he best thing that could happen to the ukrainian people is for Russia to annihilate the zelenskyy regime, rebuild the country and let its people heal.
Dang Skippy, Ma!
Cat, I never thought I’d live to see the day when I could see Russia in the light I do today, but here we are.
And I feel like we’ve been pushed here by the IC whores and their lying, chicken-livered NATO homies.
I am right beside you in a very strange ideological place. I am beginning to wonder how much of our historical National narrative is/was total curated nonsense and at what point did our Government flip to The Darkside.
I’ve always admired the stoicism and resilience of the Russian People. Living in Idaho for 10 winters makes respect all of them that much more.
Power corrupts absolute power corrupts absolutely.
We had absolute sea air and ground power after.world.war two.
We had absolute industrial power after world war two.
We had absolute agricultural power after world war two.
We had absolute economic power after world war two.
START THERE
“We”didn’t have sh!t the Federal Reserve, the Central Banksters , The CFR, Trilateral Commission, The Club Of Rome and The Round Table crowd have always had The Power.
We’ve been proper debt slave serfs since President Grant sold our debt to the City Of London in 1871 near as I can tell..
And Government got bigger and bigger and bigger.
Yes, the Russia of today is not the Russia of our childhood, when Khrushchev banged his shoe on the desk and promised to bury us.
It’s almost laughable to see the denigrating comments made about President Putin after witnessing his relative forbearance in the face of all the provocation that went on prior to the war.
And it’s especially ironic, given what we know about the evils and corruption of the bidens of the US intelligence community’s involvement in it all. It all makes Mr. Putin look like a choir boy by comparison.
If President Putin hated the Russian People the way Western “governments” hate their subjects we would have been vaporized several different times over the last few years.
Good point.
Putin is a corrupt thug. He just is. He’s not the evil boogie man of neocon lore but he’s a bad man. So is Zelensky. The good Christian God fearing Russian rule is bs
Sir, President Putin doesn’t allow his people to be fed or injected with poison..
He doesn’t allow animals to rape Russian girls in the street..
President Putin doesn’t allow “doctors” to cut young lads genitalia off..
President Putin doesn’t allow a man in a dress to teach your 6 year old daughter how to give a rubber c*ck a blowjob..
President Putin wants the best for the Russian People and he can deliver it.
His is the only real self sufficient economy outside our failing system.
Yeah ask the people who live in Siberia about that, or the Chechens, or the Azerbaijani minority. I’m not into the transitions for minors or predatory homosexuality for minors. But I’m certainly not for executing gays
Then don’t go to Russia gay.
Edit: I am pro homegrown medical cannabis ( I do not grow cannabis in this State) that means I ain’t going to Russia until they make medical accommodations. When that happens I might be gone.
Transitioning doesn’t exist since sex cannot ever be changed.
Putin has “injected” several of “his people” with good ole Polonium 210. Just sayin….
Our CIA put LSD onto the steering wheels of sedans of persona non grata many times with or without Presidents’ knowledge. There ain’t bandwidth worth burning to play this game..
Well stated. Instead of calling them trannys, you said what it is the freaks do. This rubs the faces of the losers who say they support such degeneracy in the beyond-vile behaviors like rubbing a dog’s face in its excrement.
Ditto for the “sex change surgeries.” Castrating a boy or debreasting a girl is vile beyond words and should subject the criminal with a medical degree who does such things to being flayed alive in a flogging he or she won’t forget, especially when getting doused in seawater afterward so each one of the wounds will burn a little longer.
We should consider making rape a capital offense again. At the very least we should castrate and face-brand rapists. That also goes for the crazed females who rape young girls with instruments or force them to perform oral sex.
I favor burning child molesters at the stake. It might be cruel and unusual, but if done often enough, it won’t be unusual any more.
A lesser punishment would be to coat them in scalding tar and then roll them in gravel. Call me a bleeding heart if you must.
Complete nonsense. Russia is riddled by drugs and influx from their Islamic neighbours. A society that only focuses on a few rich cities with large populations still without running water or basic needs.
A president who poisons his enemies and holds an iron grip on media and surpresses his political enemies by all means necessary.
It’s truly sad what the whole Russia Russia b.s. turned some people into. Giving power and praise to someone who oppresses the freedom you have. The enemy of our enemies is not automatically our friend.

Rather strange for an American mind to be occupied with such nonsense.
State Capitalism is here and a crushing surveillance state is out for rush delivery.. all I know is clean food is cheaper in Russia as we speak. Their economy is backed by gold. Ours is backed by f*** all.
More or less correct. That’s not a popular opinion on this site, however. There’s definitely some Putin FanBoys on here.
Between Putin and Zelenskyy and the EU leaders, yes, Putin is “better”, or at least somewhat different.
But he’s not some moral, Christian paragon of virtue.
He’s a murderous, narcissistic, ex-KGB secret policeman. An apex predator and master manipulator of people.
I’d rather admire some of the great things President Putin does for his people than to blindly worship President Trump as he sucks up to Globalist Trash in one stunning departure from MAGA after another and then pretend there is something wrong with anyone who notices The Emperor Wears No Clothes..
I can’t say I share your perspective on this point, Cat.
While I don’t agree with everything he does, it doesn’t prevent my respect and gratitude for President Trump and for what he’s doing and has done for the country.
When compared to the true naked emperors to whom we’ve been subjugated in recent years such as obama and biden, President Trump is still well attired in my view.
If I recall the story correctly, the emperor paraded around in his underwear, whereas Trump’s immediate predecessors stumbled and strutted up and down with their bony butts and all their junk just totally hanging out.
ew.
Please excuse my crudeness.
Ma, he keeps going off script. I can’t tell if he was always going to do this or if it’s the Wormtongues have his head swimming while he’s in a weakened state from working too much or Heaven Forbid, he’s vakks injured. Something’s up.. and it ain’t Good.
He’s a famous weaver…..just when I think he’s lost the plot he circles back to it and ties all the seemingly loose threads together.
That being said, I will also say quite candidly the man sometimes makes me exceedingly uncomfortable. But I’ve learned there’s usually a method to his madness.
He’s human and imperfect, but I much prefer his style to that of most politicians, although I do have a real soft spot for Senator Kennedy’s charming and razor sharp southern style of slowly and pointedly ripping someone a new one.
No weasel words and double speak from those two.
Putin is fighting the same enemy that we are. IC’s and controllers are a huge part, they go by different names but remember they also slaughtered the Russian Royal family and have been trying to take Russia for their resources for a very long time. V for Vendetta.
Sounds a bit like the “left” describing President Trump.
Please show any comment here saying or even suggesting President Putin is a “moral, Christian paragon of virtue.”
You can’t. And this is because it’s not happening.
What you have is your opinion, to which you are surely entitled, but I think when all you have to offer is exaggerated and adversarial ad hominem, it adds nothing to the ongoing discussion.
Putin is like Clovis, the King of the Franks, who moved into northern Gaul (France) as the Western Roman Empire started to fray and unravel. Unlike the more powerful Visigoths and Ostrogoths, Clovis went from pagan to Catholic while the Gothic tribes were Arian Christians. Arians did not believe in the Trinity. This made Clovis the favorite German tribal king among all the other German tribal kings. He was given several Roman titles and made an honorary Consul by the Eastern Roman emperor in Constantinople. Was Clovis a real Christian? Probably not. He would kill family members to stay in power, but he knew he had to get along with the Eastern Emperor since the people in what was left of the Western Empire looked to the Eastern Emperor as the ultimate authority. Clovis also had the approval of the Popes during his reign as king of the Franks. It would be the Emperor Justinian who would cede Gaul to the heirs of Constantinople’s favorite German king, the birth of France (“Frankreich” in German).
This why Putin reminds me of Clovis.
How do you know this?
you have come to where I have been for a few years now. I conclude that my dad fought WWII for LIES.
It is partly good they pushed us here. The EU is disintegrating into a Communist/Islamist mess. At least we will see what is going to happen to us if we do not change by watching the bloodshed in Europe. The march September 13 in the UK might be the turning point. It is either going to be mass removal of immigrants and a move to the right and sanity or civil war.
This is setting the stage for the Antichrist to swoop in.
Ice is removing a small percentage of the criminal illegals who have invaded our country.
A contingency of radicals here are fighting to keep them here and raving against getting rid of crime in DC and beyond.
There are millions of illegal invaders here. If the USA can’t find most and then expel them from OUR country, how are the EU regimes who allowed them in to stay, to live in no go zones, to get subsidies, who rape steal kill and do violence, going to do it?
Common sense says there will be few options such as complete absorption of the native culture, regime change, mass exodus, civil war or a combination of all four.
Something went very very wrong years ago.
When I started to read Putin’s speech, discernment kicked in and I felt that I was reading a Russian CYA paradigm.
I sadly suspect the outcome will be more inclined toward the latter.
It’s worth considering, Russia even when it was the Soviet Union, never attacked America or American interests. We as a country have been conditioned by government and the media to “hate” Russia, ever since the end of WWII.
There is no reason not to be on friendly terms with Russia.
I think caution is called for, but I also think it’s vital for strong Christian nations to stand together.
Russia’s rejection of the trans madness and islamist extremism send a strong Christian message that resonates with many Americans.
Feel? That’s exactly what happened from 1990 onward. The promise was made for stability and since then Czech, Hungary, Poland, Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Albania, Croatia, Montenegro, and Macedonia joined NATO even before the present conflict.
Meanwhile the PRC is doing similar to us.
“Ukraine, meanwhile, has descended into unspeakable corruption and whoredoms, including taking away the peoples’ church, taking away the peoples’ freedoms, suspending their elections, their constitutional rights and squandering their very lives in an unwinnable war the ukrainian government itself provoked.”
And here the Democrats fully support the dictator Zelensky and call Trump a threat to democracy. Are they sick or what?
BW, izzat a trick question?? lol
Yes, their hypocrisy is so thick and dense you could pave a runway with it.
And they’re so mindlessly stupid they keep stomping back and forth through it while it sets up around their stinky feet.
the no bullshit approach of russia is kill everybody in your way . eff russia and their ‘no bull shit way’. i much prefer the no bullshit way of trump/america. kill everybody who stands in the way of freedom.
How convenient. Another excuse but this time from the real star of the show, Putin as himself.
This fake war makes about as much sense as the fake pandemic.
The fake war will end when they know a majority of us know they are full of it but not before a new and more exciting fake crisis is rolled out to replace the old one.
Do they really care what we think? Doubtful.
A million dead Ukrainians may take umbrage to the use of “fake”. It is the west that lives in the fake world.
make it 1.73 milions KIA…
Where are the military cemeteries located? Takes a lot of real estate to bury that many people. Then add in the wait, how many civilian casualties, eleventy thousand too. Lots of real estate… I have yet to see a funeral procession.
I have however, seen a great deal of regular everyday living without bombs and marching armies and smoke filled skies as is usually the case in a major “war”. I even saw footage of a movie scene being filmed in the clean safe streets of Kyiv, lol.
I say the same thing. Where is the evidence?
In short, the roadblock to peace is Zelensky.
Actually it is the globalists who bankroll the leaders of the EU and UK…along with their covert intelligence operations and the corrupt elements in our CIA / State Dept.
Zelenskyy is merely their paid agent.
💥
That has been that way for a long time. What I don’t understand is if Trump appointed Ratcliffe head of the CIA, and Ratcliffe has been in the job for eight months, why hasn’t that CIA influence been ended?
It’s a pretty good bet that Ratcliffe doesn’t know the identities or the whereabouts of the darkest elements of that agency, especially the “contractors” who aren’t listed in any records.
But otherwise I wouldn’t presume to know what Ratcliffe is doing internally because he hasn’t made any public statements as is usual for that agency. Whatever he’s doing we can safely guess that POTUS knows, since President Trump has not made any derogatory comments about Ratcliffe or the current Agency.
I am not sure he knows how many basements the CIA building has yet.
He cannot be trusted until he is tested same as any other secret society. They have their own rules.
Ratcliff strikes me as not knowing the “whereabouts” of anybody.
I wouldn’t draw any such conclusions about Ratcliffe.
Having relatives working in that area of government, my impression is that Ratcliffe is simply appropriately “closed mouth” about everything until called upon to comment and then he is very cautious & limited what he says or reveals. Add to that the fact that the corrupt entities within that agency have likely withheld a lot of ultra secret dealings from him so he can’t comment and reveal that he knows what they think he doesn’t know.
IMO, Ratcliffe, nor any other CIA Director, doesn’t control much of anything that these people do. I think there are cells in the CIA – not unlike terrorist cells – that operate with external (globalist) funding, and outside of the chain of command.
McCord and Nuland are surely part of one (or more) of these cells, and they and their minions plan and execute operations such as the destruction of the Nord Stream pipeline, and more recently the attacks on Russia’s oil infrastructure.
If this be the case, then Team Trump has to identify loyal members of the IC and organize them, to attack the unloyal, destructive cells that operate independently. The only way to salvage the American IC is to wage civil war inside that IC and destroy the traitors within it. I think President Trump and Tulsi are trying to do this.
Why doesn’t he just fire them? He’s supposedly good at that.
EXACTLY what I was thinking.
He’s doing that he’s told, he’s a puppet.
Don’t give him so much credit.
As long as Zelensky has not committed suicide, we can be sure he doesn’t really want peace and hence is the roadblock to peace. Well, one of the roadblocks anyway..
From the beginning, I’ve been saying it. Zelensky is the leader of his country, and he has the final word on all decisions.
I doubt he enjoys being backed into a corner because his ego is extreme. Losing face for Zelensky is not acceptable.
And I think he has wife problems, also.
IMHO: The only solutions all end with ‘cide’.
He’s not the leader. He’s a US EU CIA puppet.
It may help to remember that most of the global “Anticorruption” policies and organizational efforts were always about regime change on demand. Of course the ubiquitous USAID and UN were there to assist.
The ossified and rheumatic result of these misadventures is on full display in Eastern Europe.
It becomes clear that there are experts in Russia who study the structure of the Ukrainian government, its political documents, ie, constitution, etc., and the conduct of the political leaders wrt these documents and structures. They do it with all governments, including us.
It is fascinating to read him describe in detail the actions of the Ukrainian leadership and how they trash the elections and the Supreme Court and know that the Ukrainian leadership is not serious.
The Russians are serious people. And, how they talk about Trump, Trump is serious, as well.
So, that means the Ukrainian leadership is the problem, therefore, the IC is the instigator.
So, Russia continues to grind Ukrainian down to nothing in the battlefield.
G-d bless those innocent souls lost because of the games being played in distant lands.
Agreed. When one understands the Ukrainian constitution and their political government receives billions upon billions of money, it’s easy to understand why they don’t want elections.
their brand new infant constitution of 1991…Ukrainians have never within the past 3 centuries fought and won their INDEPENDENCE. They have always been a ‘vassal state’ even when cut off from Mother Russia. Wilson’s League of Nations granted them a short lived couple years of freedom from Lenin’s Bolsheviks…Hitler’s NAZI’s freed them from Stalin for a couple of years. After 1991…they became vassals of Western Europe and the USA after 2011.
A slow grinder is likely the strategy. If the Russians were to go all out blowing stuff up they would destroy Ukraine and not be perceived very well by who ever is left. A slow grinder provides the incentive for the Ukrainians to eventually get fed up and call for an end without total destruction of the country while allowing the people to survive with a country that can get back up quickly. Putin obviously believes his country will support the war longer than Ukrainians will support Z.
There have been remarkedly few civilian ukie casualties, so much so that the green goblin makes a big deal when they happen
Thank G-d for that little reprieve in this pointless, savage war.
Pointless to whom? It sure isn’t pointless to the Russians, nor to the Ukrainians. Nor to the Euro/NATO folk, nor to the NeoCons.
Yes, that side of this globe has been fertile with human blood and bones for millennia.
With Z man in office peace is unattainable. With the EU, NATO and US media propaganda machine having successfully psyoped the masses of sheeple into thinking it’s all Russias fault there is no easy pathway to peace. Looks like Ukraine either surrenders or the war expands. Without pretending we need to withdraw from NATO immediately and stop any further funding to Ukraine. The globalists are backed into a corner with no way out. Europe is about to revolt internally and getting into a war with Russia will be there end. Putin knows this.
I would just change your first sentence to read: “With the CIA still in office, peace is unattainable.”
I think russia’s position has been obvious for decades. The punk is not an honest broker, he does not want to d what is necessary. He completely corrupt, a loser, and needs for his government to boot.
If any of you listened to Putin in Beijing during the press conference before he left, you’d understand how the constitution of Ukraine works and why they call Zelenskyy illegitimate.
oh btw, per Putin, no land transfers were discussed in Alaska. I wasn’t in Alaska to confirm this of course, I’m just repeating what Putin said publicly.
There is no higher form of flatery then imitation. His LAST two words, clearly show to whom he addressed these remarks and I must admit his comments resonate truth with me.
I trust no one. Our first task is to completely shut down the ongoing coup d’etat in the USA.
A-MEN! Amen!
Thanks for the reminder that the Clowns In America are fighting against us on two fronts. One foreign, one domestic.
This strategy sometimes backfires.
The people who are trying to conduct a coup in the USA, are the same people who are conducting war in Ukraine, are the same people who caused the alien invasion of Europe and America, are the same people who conducted the Covid operation, are the same people who want one-world global government and domination by the mega-billionaires.
Everyone knows who these people are – it’s not like they hide themselves or their activities. If we want these things to stop, we need to lock these people up. And until we do that, we are just not serious, and we simply acquiesce in our own demise.
In other words, if one cuts through his very lengthy you-no-what, Putin declares a big neyt to peace!
President Trump and his team are not falling for Putin’s continuing “bull—-“.
My President, America’s President, President Donald J. Trump, has repeatedly expressed great frustration with Putin, calling Putin’s statements “bull—-” during Cabinet meetings and saying, “Every conversation I have with him is a good conversation and then unfortunately, a bomb is loaded up into Kyiv or someplace, and then I get very angry about it”.
Oh well, President Trump or Vladimir Putin?, different strokes for different folks.
Thank you! My God nobody on here wants to call balls and strikes. Zelensky is a punk impediment to peace. So is Putin. Much of what he Russians say is complete bs
So, let’s say the President is incapacitated, and instead of following the constitution to have him removed and replaced by the VP, the President’s staff pretend that the President is of sound mind, and forge the President’s signature on official documents.
If the government is illegitimate and operating extra-constitutionally, what authority do any of the signatures hold? Can a foreign nation legally agree to a cease fire treaty if they discover the forgeries? Would they not complain that any agreements wouldn’t hold up in any international court of law, so the process of asking for a cease fire is pointless?
Ukraine basically has to follow “territory secession” to allow part of the country to break away, which is a constitutional matter. Putin’s position is that Zelenskyy ‘s government’s signatures are legally worthless, by Ukraine’s own constitution, until a proper election is held and Z is re-elected.
Putin is in no position to decide that. Obviously the Ukrainians don’t agree with that. The Rada would have established that. What Putin is saying is bs.
Zelensky’s signature is legitimate.
Putin is not deciding that, the Ukraine Constitution states that fact.
But it doesn’t it’s Putins interpretation of their constitution.
No. Putin is being logical and pragmatic.
This reminds me of so many times my mother said “There is the hard way and then there is the easy way, which one are you gonna pick???”
Mr.Putin will win in the end, but they’ve chosen the hard way to go down.
Putin is full of it with this. I wish we could be honest about that. Zelensky is a prick and doesn’t want peace. Neither does Putin.
The Rada extended martial law. He’s obviously the legitimate president of Ukraine. If Putin was interested in a lasting peace he could have already had it with Trump.
To legitimize Putins obvious BS skirting of negotiations is to delegitimize PDJTs very serious overtures towards peace
Actually, I think Putin wants peace AFTER he gets what he wants.
Likely, he’d prefer the easy way, but he’ll take the hard way if he has to.
But, he wants what he wants, regardless of the cost.
That’s not peace lol. If he wanted peace he’d negotiate a peace to his benefit with Trump
Maximalist goals in light of a legitimate negotiating partner I understand Trump is not an ideologue and is very earnestly offering a real peace deal
That’s not how war works. Putin declared from the start exactly what this war was about, and exactly what the military objectives were. It won’t be over until those objectives are obtained, the Russians are defeated, or the Russians decide that the objectives are no longer worth the cost.
Peace isn’t the absence of conflict. Peace is the presence of justice. Putin told everyone long ago exactly what peace would look like, and so far Putin is the only one able to dictate any of it to anyone.
The end of armed conflict would be achieved immediately if the U.S. and the EU just gave up and stopped, regardless of what Ukraine did. We could have that ceasation of hostilities right now if President Trump really wanted it badly enough. Would you call it peace?
Then don’t be surprised when Putin shares a similar viewpoint.
Putin: “I repeat once again: if someone really wants to meet with us, we Ready. The best place for this is the capital of the Russian Federation, the hero city Moscow.”
hahahahahahaha. Really? Seriously? After the meeting, Z’s plane would never make it back out of Russian airspace. If Z has any doubts about that, he should ask Yevgeny Prigozhin about it. Oh. Right. He can’t.
Z is absolutely the best Russian asset for losing the war for ukie.
He’s going to get the entire 18 to 65 year old male population killed.
Which could remake Ukraine into a lesbian proxy state.
Going to? It is already accomplished.
Ukraine’s demographics are wrecked. They’ll never, ever recover as a people.
Vladimir Putin’s enemies disappear even faster than do Hillary Clinton’s. And that is pretty fast.
Putin is a prick the idol worship on here of him is gross. The fact that Zelensky sucks doesn’t make Putin good
Two things can be true at the same time.
The only way to get to peace in the Middle East was to exclude the Palestinians from participating in negotiations – that was how PDJT45 got to the Abraham Accords. The only way to get peace in Ukraine will be to exclude the Ukrainians from participating in negotiations.
Ukraine is an EU/DeepState puppet. The EU countries are almost all totally dependent on the USA for security.
Negotiate a peace between the US and Russia. Present the finished deal to the EU and Ukraine as a fait accompli. They will whine and cry and posture but there’s not a d*mn thing they can do about it.
When the deal is done, Z-man, the Ukrainian constitution and courts can either reconcile themselves to the situation on the ground or they can amend themselves out of existence.
They can pout. Or they can try to resist. But they will need to do so without the flow of US money and US weapons.
How about a joint US/RUSSIA strike on Kiev. Would that end it?
MAGA
US/RUSSIANS should liberate all of Europistan and the United Kaliphate..
It’s beginning to look like that could actually become necessary.
That’s a Boots On The Ground Mission I can actually support. Hell, I might even throw my hat in ring, do some testosterone and enlist at 46. I am sure the Army could find something for me to do. I come from some serious War Hero Brass and Military Intelligence.
For all our sake I pray to God it would never have to come to that. We’ve pulled europe’s butt out of the sling twice at precious cost, and we’ve paid through the nose to prop them up ever since, so it seems somewhat unreasonable to think we should need to do so again.
They seem to have, if not a death wish, at least a very weak and faulty self preservation instinct.
But I hear you. There’s a lot of evil afoot that needs to be addressed.
Yess’um! I thought we were going to make some money with President(s) Trump And Putin launching a real Glastnost 2.0.. but noooooooo. We have to throw in with a buncha bankrupt cokewhore lunatics with a fetish for barbarian rapist culture. And piss away any chance of World Peace.
I don’t know if world peace is possible, but I’d sure like to think some Glastnost 2.0 between the US and Russia is somehow possible, and I think it would make it a better world.
It’s all in the genes.
Harry Truman was censured in the Senate in the early 1940’s for suggesting exactly the same US strategy toward Germany and Russia.
Truman was our 2nd last decent democrat president.
Kennedy, despite his flaws, which we all possess, was the other.
We all know the people of Ukraine want peace, but the globalists apparently do not. Zelensky fears a free and fair election. I suspect he will leave the country if a real election occurs.
Ditto.
Never mind any Nobel Peace prize for President Trump, Vladimir Putin should get several Nobel prizes just for being the great Vladimir Putin. That seems to be the consensus here anyway.
Couldn’t they share the honor?
Your sarcasm is likely lost on many. While Putin has been more patient than expected with Biden and the European globalists he’s very much a war mongering deceiver
Our leaders have been asshats at best when dealing with Russia. It’s getting embarrassing.
Even a guy who tested out of high school and dropped out of college like me can see what time it is.
This site is definitely peppered with a lot of Putin fans.
Covair,
That is a great observation. This is most likely the reason why:
That explains why Trump can relate to Putin and why those who like DJT also like Putin.
Well, if we must be a ‘fan” of somebody, I would choose Putin over comedian and piano player Zelensky any day of the week.
The biggest obstacle to a lasting peace are the
simple minded progressive hordes around the world who actually view war as an academic exercise .
Their weak minds defer to fanciful thinking rather than seeing war for what it is.
For Example they Debate about statistics like wether Losses are in the range of 150,000 or 1,500,000 as if one is more acceptable than another.
Unless I am mistaken the number of dead soldiers the US lost in Vietnam was around 50,000.
When the world was thinking correctly that number was considered a catastrophe.
How far the world has fallen.
Ironic that the same so called progressive peace nicks and draft dodgers who protested so hard during Vietnam now see the worlds wars as some sort of esoteric exercise.
They make me sick.
To paraphrase a quote from the movie Paton Brave men and sadly brave women are dying in Ukraine and the globalists and their lemming supporters just don’t seem to care.
An actual Patton quote: “[The Russian has]no regard for human life and is an all-out son of a bitch, barbarian, and chronic drunk”
Can we really say we are any better than Russia in this regard when we have elected officials in our country musing how great it is for the us to support Ukraine financially and clandestinely in an effort to degrade Russia and possibly over through their duly elected government so American oligarchs can exploit their resources .
With the added benefit of having Ukrainians die rather than our citizens in this war between Russia and the CIA.
Which government got rid of Gen. Patton, again? It wasn’t the Soviets although I am sure Stalin was overjoyed when they heard of the perfectly timed drunkard in an out of control truck kinda like a careening bus in the middle of nowhere ended Virginia Guiffre, May She Rest.
Something how so many great men die early deaths and the worthless ones live so long.
Eg. Reagan vs Carter.
Breitbart vs Clinton.
Scalia vs Roberts.
Patton was a great general, but also had human faults.
In sort of summary:
-ukr has developed a circuitous process to agree to any sort of agreement (and as such, the current leaders of ukr lack the accountability / assurance to be able to nimbly follow up on the written terms of peace agreement
-the terms of ‘security guarantees’ is to be 2 way, for both ukr and rus
-otherwise, if not 2 way security ‘boots on the ground’ or other devices can be rightfully perceived as threats to security by either side
(not for mutual peace)
and a potential excuse to build up forces to attack either side at some point in the future – days or years (not for mutual peace).
-for a serious discussion (not theatre) ,
russia is offering a mutually safe location to reach the terms for an agreement. (other locations have already run their course, over time, thus far ).
More than location, is that there be serious substance that will be discussed, or not
(so far, the prior discussions -and there have been A LOT of discussions – are a fraction of the whole needed. Yet, the remaining fraction can be done and are simple – if there actually is verifiable will to get it done, and mutually approved.)
– and history being an indicator – but not a guarantee – of future results,
prior peace agmts have been disregarded by one party, or another…so… stop the pretending to care … let’s mutually get real with action(s).
-until then, (see the prior 3 years, for an indication (injuries, lost lives etc) .
Maybe that is a motivation for swiftly, thoroughly cutting through the myriad of man-made red tape of peace negotiations?)
-some countries have indicated help in the security guarantees, but it looks to be 1 way, so far.
And, given the prior 3 years, there is little, if any ,actual verifiable positive actions by other countries that has previously helped mutual peace. So, are the current words fluff pieces for (useless) political games-man-ships – continuiing to cost lives and injuries? Are the words interested in mutual peace (or 1 sided)?
Someone(s) might want to look towards other good leaders for temperance, diligence, humility, kindness, …and maybe find the patience to set aside the not ever get-even egos, the hurdles,
and instead be willing to jump the hurdles to renew peace.
[ peace has been there before , so…. realize that both sides have been harmed…and get to a lastingpeaceful solution (not just a temporary cease fire, that reduces the motivation to solve the situation, and potentially repeats more deaths and injuries and prolongs the solutions…]
p.s.
none of that would likely be in a written agreement, but could be a partial foreword to help the parties seek peace, sooner than later (and it is already over 3 years late ….).
imho
Will Russia do a cease fire in order that Ukraine can have elections, including the electioneering time that precedes actual elections?
Will Ukraine likewise honor a cease fire to not fire into Russian territory, including the land under dispute between Russia and Ukraine, during the election and pre-electioneering season and then not only hold elections but honor the results of said elections?
Asking because Ukraine already had elections and the area now under dispute voted overwhelmingly to become part of Russia and to formally leave the nation of Ukraine.
Finally, if actual elections are held can, will, the EU and the US deep-state folk keep the Samantha Powers and other color revolutionaries out of Ukraine so honest elections can be held?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Unfortunately, maybe unverified,
there have been prior kinetic actions on ukr locations,
by ukr kinetics
which are then blamed on rus kinetics.
(at costs of lives and injuries, playing war games, to pursue sympathy for funding support….. not good.)
So, would a ‘ceasefire’ work? [ work for whom or what? }
hmmm….
imho
Nope and nope.
The instant Ukraine takes its foot off the neck of its high court or holds elections, the game is over for zelenskyy and his handlers, and I think President Putin knows this better than anyone.
There is nothing trustworthy about zelinskyy, and no possibility for a negotiated peace agreement because he doesn’t want one and simply wouldn’t honor it if one were by some miracle to come to pass.
Unless and until the US ceases to be the enabler, I think this deadly fiasco will only continue.
The reason Zelenskyy banned elections – he knows the citizens would vote him out of office to stop the war.
There is no reason we should still be involved in this conflict.
Pull all support, America first, PDJT has done what he has could, sent too much $$ and intel… enough is enough.
The sides want his help, ask.
If nor, meat grinder continues but without US assistance.
All opinions are my own, this needs us to step aside and let it play out.
So stupid.
We have a Ukrainian family living with us who are on a visa. My understanding from the mom is that the constitution specifically has dispensation to postpone elections during a time of “war”. Further, it seems from my casual download of their constitution online this is consistent and that somewhere I saw that their parliament has voted to allow this situation. She and her family support this and know that elections will need to happen after this situation resolves, but are ok with it now. They strongly feel that Putin is just looking to take it all over no matter what. Long story short it seems like we are long on “free and fair election” rhetoric and “the will of the people’ etc., but from the limited inputs I see, the Ukrainian’s are all in on this situation? How do we convince them otherwise?
“They strongly feel that Putin is just looking to take it all over no matter what.”
And? So they know Putin is set to taking it all over if there’s no peace terms acceptable for both sides.
Zelensky knows he has ‘constitutional’ cover that Ukranians agree to that he is using. Why would he stop the war? How do Ukranians makes sense of elections will happen only (after) the war situation is resolved? Given that Zelensky What is the primary immediate will of the people? Stop the war? Elections next when the war stops? Do they agree that Zelensky has demonstrated good leadership where it counts? Or that theirs is an unspoken hope that, comes election time, their power will be ‘constitutional right’ to remove Zelenesky then? Meantime, lives are lost for families, friends and the country’s defenders – how long since “Putin is bent on taking over all of Ukraine?
They likely don’t fully agree with Zelensky or his backers but understand what the Russians are also doing.
I truly don’t think Putin wants peace. They keep moving the goalposts. The Ukrainian people are stuck between an authoritarian Ukrainian regime and an authoritarian Russian regime
We don’t.
I think the best we can do is try and put the truth in front of them and hope enough of them wake up to it in time to save what’s left of their country.
The truth is NATO, ukrainian corruption, Obama and his dirty intelligence apparatus created this festering mess, not Russia.
Russia may not be saintly, but that’s not the point. They are the lesser of two evils here, and it’s time for the truth to prevail.
And western Ukraine and Ukrainian nationalists, which comprise the majority, have been all in on destroying Russia since the 1940’s. Their national hero, Stephan Bandera, collaborated with the Nazis during WW2.
I have found that Ukrainians have no idea what is really going on, just like most Americans fell for the media’s lies and propaganda. I was shocked to find out that even many people on this blog don’t know the truth.
can they point to a copy of the UKR constitution in writing? If this family truly believes in the evil Russia and saintly ZMan, why are they not home helping the ZMan?
is this the first modern day major armed conflict sans tv footage?
so strange
If they showed the truth then all their lies would fall apart.
I just do not understand how Zelensky, or anyone else for that matter, could possibly decline a chance in a lifetime to be invited to enter the Holy City of Moscow and as the personal guest of the Great Vladimir Putin Himself.
The Big Z knows he’s not worthy.
So, now comes Canada putting troops on the ground. Where, oh where, do all these doofus leaders come from?
Hasn’t Putin declared they will be targeted as Ukrainian fighters are targeted. O Canada!!
Putin is like the gangster that’s says “leave your doors unlocked and keys in the ignition”. Trust me. Although I’ve stolen your car 3 times before, I won’t do it again.
A promise by Putin is worth about one ruble or one cent American currency.
NATO is the one who has lied to Russia since 1992. “NATO will not expand inch toward Russia”
The Bear will walk over the mountain, again.
The Russian bear is already sh—ting in the Ukrainian woods. The Ukrainian bear is returning the Russian favor. What a world!
So, the end to this war starts with the end of martial law in Ukraine followed by a clean election.
Seems fair enough to me!
Then, a referendum will be agreed upon.
I understand and agree.
it sounds like this will be a very long war, as Zel is not going to concede his graveytrain … never. he is addicted to all the bennies and his good life- damn all the killing. Looks like the Ukrainians are the ones that will determine this outcome . . if any are left
yep. i get it. yall have fun- see you later
“Looks like the Ukrainians are the ones that will determine this outcome . .”
As it should be.
It’s their country. They should be the only ones in control of their own destiny.
Russia is not the problem….
“I repeat once again: if someone really wants to meet with us, we Ready.”
Which, loosely translated to Ukrainian, means “Hey, Zelenskyy, ball’s in your court!”
<…if someone really wants to meet with us, we Ready.>
“President Putin notes some of the internal political issues within Ukraine must be deconflicted in order for discussions to proceed. Without these issues resolved, discussion is futile.”
He’s speaking the simple truth, and so far it doesn’t appear there’s any desire or incentive for ukraine to get out of its own way.
PRESIDENT TRUMP’S TRUTH SOCIAL
“Looks like we’ve lost India and Russia to deepest, darkest, China.
May they have a long and prosperous future together!
President Donald J. Trump”
https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/115151159839778614
Not funny, Mr. President, SIR! Really not funny.
The Non-Bunker Class IS NOT AMUSED.
They hold The Cards, pal.
A little bit dramatic if Trump really posted this.
The US “Lost” Russia and India?
Why does it have to be a zero-sum game, like you are WITH the USA or against the USA?
The US has Russia or it does not have Russia.
I suppose there is that whole US Primacy mindset to contend with
But really there’s nothing stopping the US from trading with other sovereign nations as equal PEERS
Some crude simplification is that for current foreign relationships the US looks to be in a Prinacy mindset of “there are no peers as great as us.”
There’s only the USA, in its primacy godly appointed and devine poeople, and then there are its subordinates, its vassals to exploit and extort.
What do you mean “if Trump really posted this”? I provided the link, click on it and you can see the post on President Trump’s timeline.
Unfortunately I find today a lot is fabricated and fake statements attributed that people then give knee-jerk responses to,
so I try to stay away from “set in stone” harsh judgments or “hot statements”
Today though I get the same from multiple sources that this is a legit Trump post unfortuntely.
Someone needs to start vetting his posts such as “Mr President do you really want to type this to the world and beome stored in the Internet forever?”
I think Trump should start reviewing his TruthSocial posts a little more carefully. whoever is writing them is wandering.
I like it.
It ends with his title and name. I think it means that even if he didn’t write, he approved it.
Vladimir Putin may be the richest man on the planet, second to only Elon Musk. Now that must have been a lot of hard work.
“Vladimir Putin’s official wealth is modest, with declared assets including an apartment, a garage, three Russian-made cars, a trailer, and bank accounts holding 54.4 million rubles ($610,000 as of 2022). However, numerous estimates suggest his actual wealth is vastly higher due to assets hidden through a network of allies and shell companies.
Financial expert Bill Browder has testified that Putin’s net worth could be as high as $200 billion, a figure echoed by other analysts and media reports. Swedish economist Anders Åslund estimates Putin’s wealth to be between $100 billion and $130 billion, accumulated through stakes in energy giants, luxury properties like the $1 billion Black Sea palace, a $700 million superyacht named Scheherazade, and a vast collection of vehicles and aircraft.
Despite sanctions, Putin’s alleged fortune appears to have grown, fueled by Russia’s war economy and high energy prices.”
Show the receipts, please
could be, may be, assumed, are not facts.
Send in the great negotiator, Mark Carney!
‘That’s the Ticket!’ <grins>
Let Carney be a real leader of the 26 countries of the willing. He should be first to put his boots on the ground in Ukraine.

As I have repeatedly said, for the past four years, President Putin has been the only adult in the room. He is now joined by President Trump. However, one must admit that the absurdity of attempting to negotiate with what is now conceivably an unelected government in Ukraine, as well as the corrupt (and increasingly unpopular) ‘leaders’ of the EU is unrealistic. The way forward is exactly what President Putin has advised: lifting Ukrainian marital law, allowing elections in Ukraine, removing the corrupt influence of the EU (and IC), etc., in order for negotiations to follow.
Zelensky and the Ukrainian regime must be replaced via free elections first before any binding agreement with Russia is possible. How do you negotiate with some, i.e., Zelensky, who is buying properties in other countries to escape to? Putin needs an honest broker free of IC and stupid Euro-trash influence. In the meantime, Ukrainians die in the meat grinder. Warning to people of all nations: get better at electing your leaders because you get what you vote.
So exactly who would get to vote in a ‘free’ Ukrainian election? And what would be the qualifications of who would be able to run for election? Will all forms of the Ukrainian media be allowed to operate freely again to present opposing views and candidates?
If Ukraine states that the provinces that voted to leave and Crimea are still part of Ukraine do they get to vote?
I’ve recently seen different projections of the ‘Ukrainian Diaspora’ living in other countries that range in number from 9 million to 35 million. Who determines how many there actually are, if they all get a vote, and what are the rules and methods to guarantee a secure and free voting process?
Who will determine the rules of the election and oversee it to make sure it is truly an accurate and free election without foreign or domestic interference?
A complete mess in Ukraine, Russia and Putin have their hands bloody as hell also. Another European disaster. Once Putin finishes off killing all the Ukrainians, then he can absorb the land (once again).
“We will respect those guarantees security, which, of course, must be worked out both for Russia and for Ukraine.”
I missed it, but I am unaware anyone proposing ‘security guarantees’ for the bully invaders, beyond Ukraine not joining NATO.
Putin is very pragmatic. Pointing out the endless Kangaroo democracy in Ukraine and the EU. As long as the elites are allowed to throw bodies on the frontlines, the war will never end. How long will the plebs allow there rulers to eliminate the rest of the citizenry?
all of the comments about U.S. states and U.S. elections are OFF TOPIC?
The Zelenskyy regime is a puppet of, primarily, the Democratic Party of the United States. Joe Biden served as Governor General of Ukraine for the party after the Maidan Revolt. When Zelenskyy showed up in DC to meet with Trump, Vance, and others from the Administration, and the news media, he had breakfast with Democratic Party leadership in Congress. Zelenskyy then went to the White House ready to fight and demand “security guarantees” which must have been the party’s talking point of the day. For a party that loves to pull the Logan Act out of their backside to use against the opposition party, the Democrats are not afraid of running a parallel foreign policy against any Republican Administration.
Well done President Putin. Put the ball in their court. Like it matters. NATO countries over there, along with Canada it seems, wants the money to continue flowing and the people to continue dying. Boots under ground.
