  18.  @dankengine5304  'Ukraine was neutral until Russia decided the EU was somehow a crime. ' Don't make up stories. Russia had said it will not allow Ukraine to join NATO as that will bring US naval bases which will shut Russia off from the Black Sea. In the early stages of the war, Putin had said Russia had no objection to Ukraine joining the EU as it is an economic alliance (that might have changed now as the EU has functioned like it is NATO). Ukraine and Europeans are talking about negotiations as they have lost the war, but they want NATO peacekeepers. Trump says 'use European peacekeepers'. Neither is acceptable to Russia. In fact, Russia does not want negotiations. Russia did not seek land, it sought Ukraine to be neutral in terms of NATO (and not the EU). Don't lie. Now the situation for Ukraine is it cannot join NATO AND it has to cede land. After spurning neutrality and trying to get US to set up naval bases in Ukraine to threaten Russia, and after being defeated, it has to cede land. Such punishment and resettling of borders has occurred in the past to Germany and others. If Ukraine had remained neutral, it would have had all including Crimea. Ukraine walked away from a negotiated agreement in 2021 at the behest of BoJo. It attempted a counter offensive in 2023 with NATO tutelage, which failed. In 2024 Russia is taking more. If Ukraine does not accept the current terms, the Russians will take back areas that were historically Russian like Odessa and Kiev. Ukraine will be made landlocked. Land was not what Russia was seeking. But Ukraine's folly and US mischief means it loses land. Get it ?

  30.  @trytwicelikemice3190  The problem is the Baltics and Poland have become belligerent, and they are living dangerously because they think they have US support. Ukraine also thought the same, and tried to misbehave with Russia, and it got beaten into a pulp. Look at Lithuania. In 2022, it tried to show off by organising a blockade of Russian trains to Kaliningrad, piously stating it was enforcing EU sanctions. Lithuania's independence was based on giving Russian trains to Kaliningrad a land corridor. Two weeks later a Russian politician said it was time to reconsider Lithuania's independence. The media reported Russia can seize the Suwalki corridor and cut off the Baltics. Within a few days, Lithuania climbed down and abandoned the blockade. If it had not, Russia would have seized the Baltics regardless of Article 5 - and the Lithuanians would have found the US would not come to fight for it, and the rest of the Europeans are useless. As for Poland, it acts like America's attack dog. Putin reminded that Poland was a gift of Stalin. If it had been left to Germany, there would be no Poland. The Poles were unable to free themselves from the Germans. If they had waited for the British, they would have been waiting a long time. It was the Red Army that got to Auschwitz and freed the Poles. Stalin could have incorporated Poland into the Soviet Union, but he did not. Stalin gave one of the Red Army's greatest generals, Konstantin Rokossovsky, a Polish officer who became a Marshall of the Soviet Union, to become Poland's defence minister. I would advise the Poles not to be ingrates. So don't put on self-righteous airs about the Baltics, Poland, EU and NATO. You want to bait the bear, then don't cry when the bear mauls you.

  40. Anders is at last being realistic - this is his first admission that the war is lost for the west ! He cannot go on about Ukrainian victory in Kursk. Anders is right that for Russia it is not a war for land. But he is not right that the war for Russia is for political control. Russia's number one motivation is security : it cannot allow US missile and naval bases in Ukraine. The US ambition was to cut off Russia's access to the Black Sea. Sevastopol in the Crimea is the HQ of the Russian Black Sea fleet, and if Russia had not retaken Crimea, the US 7th Fleet would be sailing from it. He proposes another type of devious western argument that if Ukraine joined the west, it would become prosperous and Russia did not want that. First of all, it is an assumption joining the west would make Ukraine prosperous. Ukraine was in the hands of oligarchs, mostly Jews, who sucked out its wealth - like Ihor Kolomvosky, who financed Zelensky (all Jews). And on the other side, you had Jews like Victoria Nuland, Black Rock, Blinken etc. Earlier Putin said he had no objection to Ukraine joining the EU, as that is an economic alliance, but NATO is a military alliance directed against Russia. Now Russia will not allow Ukraine to join the EU as lately the EU has acted like NATO. Hence, it is s devious argument Anders makes that Russia's aim is to prevent Ukraine joining the west and becoming prosperous - that is a typical western self image of superiority. It is like Bush saying the Muslims did not like America's freedoms, so they struck it; whereas it is related to US support of Israel. Russia wants to be prosperous, it has no objection to Ukraine being prosperous. But the problem is the US wanted to put missile and naval bases to threaten Russia's prosperity. That is is not on. Anyhow, despite Anders belief that the war is to prevent Ukraine from becoming prosperous, he now knows that the Russians will win. Ukraine has to cede what it lost and it cannot be in NATO - that is the starting Russian line now for negotiations. Earlier, Russia only asked Ukraine to be neutral. Now it cannot join NATO and it has to cede land. If it does not agree, Russia is in a position to continue and take more and decapitate Ukraine. And the west cannot stop it. Trump knows the US does not have the money and arms. And the Europeans cannot fight Russia. Ukraine is only a pawn. Boris Johnson stated that if Russia won it will end the rules based international order which was a fig leaf for western hegemony. Since Boris and Anders and their ilk now realise that Russia has won, the most important Russian achievement is they ended western hegemony. The rest of the world salutes the Russians.
