If Ukraine was/is to go deeper into russia it lends weight to putins bullshit about ukraine wanting to invade russia, and also the lines become a lot more blurry about whether we are helping one country defend itself against invaders or we are helping one side in a mutual war. There will be a lot less support if ukraine goes into russia. |

The second time around we did what it took to actually win a war something we no longer do. Without nukes we would beat them into the ground and do what we did to make Germany civil Because of nukes we don't get that choice. We will either go nuclear or find a way to settle this so Ukraine feels they won while Russia can "claim" they won Humiliation assures a round 2. AS mentioned Crimea and the 2 eastern provinces become part of Russia (Good riddance) and Ukraine joins NATO This is a lose lose situation that has even worse or worser choices (Misspelled to note how screwed we could become) |

The first shipments of the latest round of U.S. military assistance to Ukraine, which includes heavier weapons systems, started arriving in the region over the weekend, according to the Pentagon. The recently approved $800 million in security assistance includes Howitzer artillery systems, 40,000 artillery rounds, armored personnel vehicles and other weapons. A senior U.S. defense official said Monday that four flights of shipments from the assistance package arrived in the region over the weekend with a fifth expected in the next 24 hours. The official did not detail which weapons from the recent package landed in the region first. Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby in a press briefing said the Defense Department expects to start training Ukrainian trainers outside of Ukraine on how to use the U.S.-provided Howitzers in the coming days. The Ukrainian trainers will then return to Ukraine and train more troops. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ukraine-weapons-united-states-howitzers/ |

They have also had some major losses, lost most of their ports, cities are still be leveled, and only now is Russia actually starting to make a big push forward. Russian has what 10x the equipment/forces that Ukraine does and they have lost 10%. That means Russia still has 9x the equipment and forces compared to what Ukraine started with. As long as the rest of the world keeps supplying Ukraine with enough equipment I don't think they should negotiate but if there any delay in that equipment or if it stops then they could lose a lot of ground fast. The supply issues is what doomed all the troops moving on Kyiv. The Russian forces left have a strong and secure supply line behind them. That is a completely different type of war than what we just saw. |

The topic of repayment keeps popping up, so I thought I’d point out something that may have been missed:
The US currently has frozen $100 Billion dollars of Russian assets. There are multiple precedents in recent history where assets the US government froze were liquidated and used for other purposes, such as liquidating certain assets of Afghanistan to pay 9/11 survivors. So, while I’m sure the prices is complex, there is absolutely a path forward there some (or all) of this Russian assets never make it back to Russian hands, snd instead go towards rebuilding Ukraine (and “repaying” countries for assets provided). |

I left a conservative gathering last month over the pro Russia parroting, convinced that at some future point we may come to violence over irreconcilable differences. They basically accused anyone not embracing Team Russia of being hostile, and brainwashed, and implied that during an emergency they'd just come help themselves to our preps. Maybe they were joking, but I now have to consider the possibility that I might have to use lethal force to defend myself and family from them at that point. I've cut off all communications cold, and hopefully they'll just move on now. However, I'm glad to have learned their true colors now instead of after a big SHTF event, when I may have hoped for their help.

View Quote Negotiating doesn't mean you're going to give in or stop the war. Negotiating means Trump can give Putin an ultimatum if he doesn't pull forces out of Ukraine. I personally think if Trump got elected Putin would pull forces out right before Trump would take office again. |
