Where Ukraine's borders end up is very much in play - there is a lot of space between pre-war borders and where they are now. How hard we pushed with NATO membership as a bargaining chip would have been a large determinant in the outcome. And Trump unilaterally gave that up.
Such a non serious post. Why didn't obama do it? Why didn't biden do it? Why didn't biden negotiate a peace deal? Why did obama concede crimea? I mean you are criticizing trump for not being able to negotiate a peace deal where russia gets none of the ground it holds now, but saw russia invade ukraine twice under dim presidents. You have lost your mind
I have to say, every time I see you use the pejorative "dim" for Democrat, you lose a lot of credibility with me.
Is that a one way street? Do all the pejoratives used to describe republicans affect your evaluations of credibility as well? Sorry you are thrown off by that. I usually use it when responding to those who it so aptly applies to.
I disagree in that (i) Putin will have been rewarded by Trump for this invasion, (ii) there is a significant chance that he will feel emboldened by Trump's public declaration that the US will do nothing if Europe is attacked, (iii) such aggression directly threatens Europe and in my view the UK and (iv) the combined armies of Germany, France, the UK, and Poland (not to mention the rest of NATO other than the US) would be able to crush and drive out Russia from Ukranian territory in a matter of weeks.
To be fair, yes, I generally think less of the arguments made by folks who use this kind of language. Which is why I don't use it.
You obviously don't speak Trump. That isn't what he meant but is a great example of how and why he is such a horrid speaker. He just has an inability and lack of awareness to think how his comments are going to be perceived. Either that or he just doesn't give a fuck and if its that, he makes things so much harder on himself than he needs to.
As opposed to whom?
I think the US stepped up (yea biden). I support continuing supplying ukrkaine. But, where and when does it end? Biden had years to head it off and negotiate a peace deal. Not surprisingly its still ongoing. Europe needs to carry the sack for a while.
It’s such adolescent bullshit
We will soon see. It won't take long for Ukraine to either reject or accept the surrender forced upon them. Then we will know the true state of the situation. I am betting that they are in a better position to survive without U.S. aid then many think. Russia's military is pretty feable at this point. Their marginal land advances can be misleading.
