It's not our war to end.
Yes it is.
When you see a bully picking on a small kid with a lot of fight, but he stands no chance you break it up.
It's in our interest to say enough is enough.
Ya but you generally don't end it by telling the small kid to lay there until the bully is done beating the **** out of him. Then blame the kid for it.
Bad analogy.
It's more like the small kid just took a swing at you for trying breaking it up.
Understandable when you tell the little kid that the bully gets to keep the shoes and lunch money he stole from you but it's ok because he promiseshe won't do it again.
If you want to end this then there has to be something in place that gives Ukraine a reason not to feel like they're just selling out for a slow death instead of a fighting chance (slim as it might be).
Ukraine is not in a position to make terms. Only we are do you want WW3? Then they arent getting the land back. That was our fault. Bidens really.
But at the end of the day you break up the fighting before more people die needlessly over a war that is already over. Without US boots on the ground its over.
Time to make for peace. Sometimes when you get jumped in the ally you break up the fight and live to fight another day even if the bully took your wallet and your watch. Just the reality of life. Time to move on.

Putin wants far more than what they have now
Okay. So what. Then they can both be considered losers. Or both be considered winners. Its doesnt matter to me
Its pretty clear to me that, based on the response from today's meeting, if the war ended today with Russia maintaining what it has today, putin would be a winner despite whatever he thinks of the situation.
Its also clear Zelensky wants what he can not have- his land back. Thats gone and it won't come back without american or european boots on the ground
That's not clear at all. He wants security guarantees so he won't be back here again in four years. Like the last two times he made deals with the US and Russia.

Dude, you are usually right about a lot of stuff, but you are overly emotional about the war in Ukraine.
It's not emotional at all. And again stop attacking posters instead of their arguments so we don't get this thread locked again.
What have you seen out of Trump to think he would threaten Russia with any consequences in 2022?
He kicked the crap out of ISIS in a year and nearly went to war with Little Rocket Man during his first term. He was a deterrent, which is why Putin stayed at bay, so your hypothetical argument is moot anyway.
Except Putin literally attacked an American base while he was president. And did nothing to respond.
Two separate arguments and a complete logical fallacy.
I can add some more. There is strong evidence that Russia paid bounties to the Afghans for killing US servicemen in Afganastan. There is strong evidence that Russia recently harmed US state department employees in Cuba and Europe. Russia is our enemy. There is no doubt about that fact. Every single time we have fought a war since WWII it was against an adversary armed with Russian weapons. Do you think thats a coincidence?

Anyone with eyes open knows Ukraine is a wreck. I have a friend from Ukraine who is able to move about. The eastern part is devastated. Complete war torn. I have no idea what the long term solution is for whatever is left there. The western part is beaches and first world condition. His daughter lives there. They are not even concerned about Russia bombing the western part. Three quarters of this is theater to gain US dollars and Zelenskyy is the Biden of Ukraine. He is grifting millions.
Trump called him out today. This is truth. This is reality. I wish it was different and better, but this is where we are.
if Putin broke a peace agreement brokered by the USA he would be starting WW3. We would be forced to defend the peace agreement.Teslag said:TxAgPreacher said:Rossticus said:TxAgPreacher said:Teslag said:TxAgPreacher said:Teslag said:

How would you help end this conflict if you were president?
Well for starters I wouldn't lay my cards down in the media at all. And if I did I'd let both sides know that they will have to give up something. And I sure as **** wouldn't play the innocent mediator that doesn't blame either side.
Russia doesn't have a lot of cards either. And yet we keep handling them with kid gloves. Trump once said that he'd get a deal and said that if Russia didn't play along he'd arm Ukraine to the teeth. And now he literally can't say a single negative thing about them.
They will have to cede lost land. Everyone know this.Teslag said:Who?mikejones! said:
I didn't ask about Trump. I asked what you would do
Id arm Ukraine to the teeth and let the Russians know, in private and public, that I'd do so until they want to end it along current lines. And I'd tell Ukraine that we will not give them any more offensive aid nor support any additional offensives if they intend to drive on and push to retake lost lands.
And when it ends Ukraine recognizes it's lost lands as Russian going forward. And in return Ukraine is allowed to join NATO. And this war is done now and in the future.

No, I don't think it's a coincidence, but I also don't think we're innocent with regards to our historical conflict with Russia. We've done a lot to piss them off as well. Use a little mirror imaging. Acknowledge that maybe we screw around a little too much in their hemisphere.

Russia has plenty of cards. More than Ukraine. They have nukes. They'll keep throwing endless bodies at the fight and they already mobilized their industrial complex. They also now have China and North Korea as friends.

Nukes aren't much of a card unless you're willing to burn your own country down. And they are even less of a card in a simple land grab. Irradiating the country you want to take over doesn't make a lot is sense. And what will being friends with NK get them? More useless conscripts? More artillery rounds with an exceptionally high dud rate?
Russia is a shell of who they were.

I cannot fathom why any rational American would be defending Zelensky's antics right now. Not when we have so many problems on the homefront that are priority...and we've done MORE than our fair share to dig them out of that conflict.
Then it occurred to me. Trump has come out of the gate so hard for 30 days, there's a big part of this country that just can't stand it. Oh you found $50B in waste and fraud? We don't like it b/c we can't stand Trump. Some are progs, some are CMs, and some just can't stand the man, regardless of the issue.
So Z shows up acting like an ass, and Trump/Vance put him in his place. And a big number of idiots show up on this thread like there's something to dunk on Trump with. Just pathetic.
Here's how to fix it though: flip your FB profiles to Blue/Yellow again, start writing personal checks to a GoFundMe for Z, and sign your kids up for service overseas. Since you're all so passionate about Ukraine's 'freedom'.
