  1. Ukrainian people have multiple factions. The Azov battlelian supporters will never give up an inch of ground. These are the folks who made Stephan Bandera their Ukrainina national hero. Bandera's soldiers killed 1.5 million Ukrainian jews during WW2. But the majority of Ukrainians voted for Zelensky to end the conflict in the Donbass. The majority of Ukraine would love to have peace even if it mean being neutral, and letting Russia have the 4 Oblasts in the south.

  2. In a conflict between the US and China, the carrier is obsolete. The US navy knows it. There are 4 Ford class carriers on order only one is finished. The navy can't stop construction of the last 3 and redeploy the funds for other weapons because congress won't let it (too many jobs in too many shipyards). In the ~12 war games/simulations the Pentagon held in 2019-2020 the carriers were all kept out of the action. (too far for Chinese missiles and also too far to launch planes that could reach China.)

  3. Tucker was effective. And this topic is why he was fired. 80% supported the neocon narrative in march 2022. Today 55% do and only 35% of republicans do. Now just because a proxy war losses pupular support that doesn't mean the security state will change policy. During the vietnam war, we didn't start to pull out until 100's of 1000's were demonstrating against the war in American cities. But this lack of war support among americans can sway elections. Both RFK and Williamson are increasing in the polls, in spite of the main stream media totally censoring any coverage of their campaigns. By now the American people know the main stream media and much of big tech (eg facebook) are controlled by the security state.

  4. Interesting comments but some significant misunderstandings. When Russia took over Crimea the Russian troops were welcomed a liberators. But in western Ukraine, there was a large anti-Russian and even neoNazi population. And between 2014 and 2022, the CIA and US army rebuilt the Ukrainian army from the ground up. Ukraine elected a Russian leaning president before the 2014 coup. Immediately after 2014 the Ukrainian army was in horrible shape where many in the army refused to shoot at the rebels in the Donbass for exactly the same reason the Russian troops were reluctant to fight in Ukraine. But in the 8 years since 2014, the CIA helped the Ukrainian army get rid of all the Russia sympathizers and multiple the neoNazi groups dominated the Ukrainian armed forces. Currently there is no equivalent group of neoNazi's in Taiwan. The other thing about China invasion of Taiwan is, why would China invade. For example, if the US convinced the Govt of Taiwan to let US locate medium range missiles in Taiwan that can hit Chinese cities. Basically the US repeating what it did in Ukraine to "provoke" Russia to attack. It's not clear China would invade but if there were for examples demonstrations in Taiwan against the deployment of US offensive missiles and China used that as a pretext to invade, the PLA troops would not have a morale problem in attacking. The US is actively trying to persuade the Taiwanese government to be do have offensive missiles. But right now there is no threat to China's cities from Taiwan but if China invaded anyway the PLA troops may have a morale problem. But in the event of US putting offensive missiles into Taiwan, this might trigger a naval blockade and a US-China confrontation rather than a Taiwan - China confrontation.
