"From day one Ukraine never had a chance of winning the real war."
From what military school did you get that knowledge? From Russia Today evening show propaganda?
Look at history. Russia have lost almost every war it have fought the last 170 years. It lost the Crimean war. It lost the Russo-Japanese war. It lost World war 1. It lost the Polish-Bolshevik war. It failed to conquer all of Finland in 1939 and in 1944. It suffered catastrohic defeats against nazi-Germany despite it fought a 1 front war against Germany that had to fight a 5 front war without any lend lease help. And then in the 1980s did russia lose the war in Afghanistan. And it lost the first Chechen war.
"Now that Zelensky and Biden fed a half a million Ukrainians into the meat grinder"
I bet you do not have any credible source for that claim. And clowns like Gonzalo Lira, Scott Ritter, Tucker Carlson, Russia today are all fake news so they don't count.
"Zelensky & Biden supporters ARE STILL promoting the war!"
They did not start the war - it was russia that started the war.
And a peace deal at any cost will not create peace. Putin have broken every promise he have made... the Budapest agreement, the 2003 border deal with Ukraine, The Minsk agreement, the peace deal with Chechenya, the deal with Prigozhin. So I do not think a ceasefire will hold a year longer then when Putin think he have a realistic chance of invading and succesfully take Ukraine again.
So making a peace deal is therefore pointless. It is also morally wrong. Russia should not be given anything.
Ukraine have all the right to defend itself according to international law and the UN charter. They defend themselves against genocide, wars of aggression, russian tyrranny and opression, ruscism and raschism.
Ukraine fights stands for truth, independence, freedom and democracy. Russia only stands for evil, manipulation and lies.
And if rewarding russian terrorists will only send the wrong signal to terrorism sympatizers around the world, and encourage future acts of terrorism also from other states and organisations when they see that russia gets rewarded for bad behaviour.
Appeasement simply doesn't work. Its just a dangerous strategy. The least bad option is therefore to kick russia out of Ukraine by force, as it refuses to leave stolen lands voluntarily.

But couldn't that be because German industry is dependent on russian gas and therefore want to go back to buisness as usual as soon as possible and is fearful to burn all bridges with russia? And then there are German politicians who (probably?) are in the pockets of FSB... like Schröder, Wagenknecht, AfD, the socialdemocrats and so on.
So of course are they against a hardline against russia. And then you got a million strong russian decendents who are pro-russia. And many east Germans have this confused views on Ost-Politik, appeasement, admiration for Putin/Orbans anti-LGBT conservatism, and so on. And then you got stupid pacifists, and women who sincere uncontrollable fear of a nuclear war.
So a consensus is hard to reach. And it is hard to combine new policies with old German political tradition.
And this could explain why Germany is hesitant to send Taurus.
However Germany is not the main problem in Europe. I think the Italian and French indifference to Ukraines fate is more worriesome right now. And Slovakia and Hungary are openly hostile to Ukraine, and USA have even recently held a Nato meeting (togheter with Sweden) where the issue of Hungary was discussed, as there are a concern that this country is acting like a pro-russian Trojan horse inside Nato.
Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Slovakia and a few other East European countries do care more about their own farmers than helping the wartorn Ukrainian economy to stay afloat.
I also think that russian FSB have infiltrated our media and is pumping out russian propaganda talking points: "The war is over", "Ukraine cannot win", "Ukraine is forgotten now coz Israel", "The counter-offensive was a massive failure", "Ukrainian losses are heavy and unsubstainable", and such nonsense.
Especially New York Times have pumped out pro-russian garbage throughout this war, with all kinds of lies. They claim that USA destroyed the Northstream pipeline according to an anonymous source. Or that allies are trying to force Zelensky to make peace right now.
Personally I think Ukraine has done pretty well this year. Russian artillery have been dealt a severe blow with losing 5000 pieces this year. They have lost their most modern pieces and now more and more use old D1 artillery pieces from WW2 as a replacement. Ukraine now almost have a monopoly on counter-battery radars. And Ukraine now fires more artillery shells per day than russia despite EU have failed to give more than 30% of the 1 million artillery shells it have promised to give to Ukraine. And now russia also lacks experienced artillery crews.
This is devestating I think. A much more hard blow to russia than if they had lost Kherson and Zaporizhia provinces this year. Think about it. This is an artillery war. And russian artillery is nearly extinct because of Ukraines systematic hunt for their artillery pieces. And imagine having to fight this war for 10 years without artillery. That would be devestating for russia. You cannot fight defensive war effectivly without artillery, and even less so can you make any attacks.
So I think russia is doomed if we keep on supporting Ukraine.
Russian industry only produce something like 200.000 artillery shells per year (according to Ukrainian sources) or 1 million (according to russian sources). But when russia consumes 17 million artillery shells this year and 22 million back in 2022... then I think russia no longer can keep on fighting the war next year like they have the previous years. And 1 million artillery shells imported from North Korea will only shortly delay the coming starvation of artillery shells.
And without artillery shells will more infantry die and losses starts to go up. Ukraine knows what this hardship means, and soon will russia also begin to feel it.
I also suspect that the russian propaganda about their economy doing fine is just nonsense. Having a 15% interest rate is not what I call a healthy economy. When people have to pay more money to the banks for their homeloans, credit card debts, car loans, student debts and so on.. before they can start buying food, books, cinemas tickets and furniture.. then I think that the russian economy will slowly starve itself to death. If no one can afford to buy stuff anymore will factories be forced to shut down, or to lower wages or fire workers. And when people no longer get a wage, then they will be even more unable to buy anything - so factories have to downscale production even more and lay off workers.
And that means less taxes coming in to the government, and more people that needs unemployment benefits and welfare to survive when they cannot work and support themselves.
I also think it is difficult for companies to earn a 15% profit per year so they can afford to both repay their loans and make a profit. And on top of that they also need to pay for wages, repairs for machines, and for material inputs for production.
So I think the desperate measure of raising interest rates to prevent the ruble from falling will become very harmful to the russian economy. And they will probably have to raise interest rates even more in the future.

 @jeffmorris5802 Your spelling is terrible for being an american.
1. I think you are mostly correct.
2. Nope. Hamas got 20K-25K members. While the russian military could probably field 1-2 million men or more if they wanted to. Russia got submarines, fighter jets, tanks and weapons of mass destruction while Hamas don't.
Russia spams the west with corrosive propaganda, bribe politicians, media figures and Generals. They manipulate university research to prevent military bases and training for western armies for "enviromental reasons" and other BS.
They do make cyber attacks and use their global influence to smear and spread lies about the west. That is what the 3rd largest oil producer in the world do with its income. Its not giving its population tap water, increasing wages for teachers or building libraries. It use its money on propaganda in foreign countries instead and wasting it on the military.
3. USA promised to help Ukraine secure its independence with the Budapest agreement. So it is obliged to help Ukraine.
Breaking that promise will have far reaching negative consequences for trust in America and her allies for decades ahead.
And as I sees it can both Ukraine and Israel be helped. Israel will mostly need bombs dropped from airplanes, and not so much artillery shells. While the opposite will be the case for Ukraine.
4. Ukraine have a close cooperation with western militaries. And they have won battle after battle in this war so far: Hostomel, Kyiv, Sumy, the 4 battles at Siverskyi Donets, Charkiv, Snake island, Khersun, Vuhledar, Avdiivka and so on.
Ukrainian troops do get too little weapons and too late, but still have they managed to kick russian ass in battle after battle.
So your comment is simply based on complete ignorance and is towing a false russian narrative.
And that is another reason I do not think you are an american. Because americans do not like to listen to losers. Russians are losers 😂😂
