  1. Is Blinken high? The US financial and military support is the prime enabler of the spreading of the conflict.

  2. ​ @barnabybones2393 lived there for 6 Yeats, un Chiapas and Tlaxcala, i was happier there than ive ever been in the US. I only came back to take care of my family

  3. ​ @strangelyukrainian7314 where exactly hace they been winning? The offensive un kursk has stalled, all of Lugansk is in russian hands, and the last Ukrainian stronghold in Donetsk is being encircled by russian forces. Ukraine is taking the hard L, not winning.

  6. Ask for terms while you still can Zelensky, its only going to get worse from here out.

  7. Because the US frose billions of dollars that Russian companies had in US banks that were seized and given to Ukraine, also Russia wouldnt have been forced to intervene in the conflict had Ukraine adhered to Minsk II. Also, while they are happy to discuss peace, that's because they are in a stong position to dictate the peace, they're advancing in the Donbas and have already liberated most of Kursk from Ukrainian occupation, as far as material goals, they have already secured most of the territory they required and Ukeaine doesnt possess the capability to challenge that. Russia doesnt have to negotiate, the can continue advancing while running down the clock on Ukraine's reserves and munitions, so Ukraine can negotiate the terms and find an amicable solution or Russia can keep pushing westward until it accepts ukraines unconditional surrender on the Bug river.

  8. ​ @georgec9384 the US was alot further away from Ukraine when they funded a coup to overthrow Ukraine's elected government because Yanukovych was too friendly with Russia.

  9. The lands inhabited by people that chose to leave Ukraine and form independent republics that arent beholden to an illegal coup regime.

  10. ​ @Cali_life619 poroshenko had every ability to peacefully negotiate autonomy with the donbas republics, he chose to declare them terrorist and invade, that's a fact, not an opinion. Ukraine should not have started this war.

  11. Putin was forced into intervention. Poroshenko should have negotiated autonomy with the donbas republics, which would have prevented the war from ever happening while those republics would have also remained in Ukraine, just self governed, Ukraine would have had its territory, the people of the donbas wouldnt have felt threatened by an illegal coup regime, Russia would have had its buffer from the west, and everyone in western europe would continue to have cheap natural gas. Ukraine chose to go to war in 2014. That is a fact.

  12. It was a criminal exchange, criminals for criminals.
    5
  13. In should have done that in 2014 and not funded a coup in violation of Ukraine's constitution and sovreignty as an independent nation.

  14. The donbas wanted autonomy from Kiev, Poroshenko decided to invade instead of negotiating, Ukraine was a bully here, the donbas went home and told big brother what happened, big brother drove a T-90 through the bully's living room.

  15. ​ @billyrubin3108 Yeah we all have enough to end the world several times over, but sure keep pushing that envelope America.

  16. ​ @Christopher-b1p ukraine was a war torn disaster before Russia invaded it, for 8 years, the last time Ukraine was improving was under Yanukovych.

  17. The only peacekeepers I from Europe i would consider acceptable are Irish, they arent in NATO, are neutral in the conflict, havent provided any military aid to either side, they get my recommendation alongside Peacekeepers from Mexico.

  18. Also Poroshenko should have negotiated autonomy with the donbas republics, which would have prevented the war from ever happening while those republics would have also remained in Ukraine, just self governed, Ukraine would have had its territory, the people of the donbas wouldnt have felt threatened by an illegal coup regime, Russia would have had its buffer from the west, and everyone in western europe would continue to have cheap natural gas. Ukraine made its choices.

  19. ​ @PaulJones-wr1im by that logic Russia has every justification to strike against the US and NATO since ukraine is just an American proxy, and last I checked Israel attacked Iran first in 2010.

  20. ​ @zbyh1980 that tracks, when Russia was ready for peace talks they signed the Minsk agreements, then Ukraine violated them, now that Ukraine is losing Zelensky is ready to talk peace but Russia isnt buying it anymore.

  21. The israelitas have been doing that for about 3,400 years

  22. Given Ukraines manpower problems id say its more likely to shorten the war as opposed to prolonging it.

  23. Yeah that's imperialism.

  24. ​ @strangelyukrainian7314 Minsk II but with certain modifications, where Donetsk and Lugansk were going to have regional autonomy while being a part of UKraine, Ukraine said no and kept fighting, so now said regions will be a part of Russia as the public voted. Ukraine can also say goodbye to its aspirations of reclaiming crimea, I doubt the citizens will forget or forgive Ukraine cutting off their access to drinking water in violation of the Geneva accords, the Ukrainian Army would have to be demobalized and western offensive weaponry removed from the region while russian forces withdrawal 5km creating a DMZ thats manned by UN peacekeepers allotted from neutral nations such as Vietnam, India, South Africa etc., pending the removal of Zelensky, the legalization of opposition parties in Ukraine, and new democratic elections that ARENT funded by Victoria Nuland or the US state department. That would be a good start.

  25. You mean for the sake of wasting breath, he said he would only step down in exchange for NATO membership, which Ukraine isnt eligible for consideration, and wouldnt be until after he steps down and the conflict is resolved, and even then, the nation would still have a long way to go just to be considered, but likely still not because neither the US or Turkey would approve and the decision has to be unanimous.

  26.  @alhambrabiker1476  No one in Russia ever claimed Ukraine would fall in three days, that was US Army General Mark Miley. Furthermore those arent and havent been russias objective, as russias objectives are protect the russian speaking population in donbass from ukrainian aggression, and those objectives are being completed, as now the entirety of Lugansk is under Russian control and in Donetsk the last Ukrainian stronghold at Chasiv Yar is being encircled by russian ground forces because the Ukrainian had to pull several divisions from the frontline in Donbass to put together the offensive in Kursk, which itself has since run out of steam (fuel specifically). To add to that, the average conscription age in Russia currently in 23yo, whereas in Ukraine it is 39. Ukraine is running out of men to hold the line while Russia continues its donbass offensive and at the same time is massing troops in Belarus on Ukraines northern border, pitting itself in the position of cutting Ukraines forces in half and leaving the Ukrainians in the Kursk salient encircled.

  27. ​ @de6212 has it? The russians have been advancing daily for the last three months and Ukraine is running out of men, why should Russia agree to any deal when they are already so close to dictating the peace terms to Ukraine.
    2
  28. The US would vote no to Ukraine's membership, as Trump, and Hegseth have already stated, even if they didnt, Ukraine isnt eligible.

  29. Theres also an American company commander in the LNR's Vostok Batallion, hes a Texan named Russel Bonner Bentley

  30. ​​ @NPC8087 The US had every right to discuss terms for ending its role in the war while also trying to establish peaceful terms just as Ukraine has every right to refuse the terms and go on fighting they're own war if they want to be South Vietnam 2.0, that's their buisness.

  31. I believe he's suggesting that Poroshenko should have negotiated autonomy with the donbas republics, which would have prevented the war from ever happening whole those republics would have also remained in Ukraine, just self governed, Ukraine would have had its territory, the people of the donbas wouldnt have felt threatened by an illegal coup regime, Russia would have had its buffer from the west, and everyone in western europe would continue to have cheap natural gas.

  32. Greece isnt fight Russia.

  33. Meanwhile Russia is advancing in the donbas and in Kursk, Ukraine lost the city of Yampolivka yesterday, and Ukraine forces are retreating from Belgomorsk, with it expected to be in Russian hands by the end of the week, the only thing moving faster than the Russian advance is the Ukrainian retreat, while further west in Ukraine the army is being reorganized into corps because the Ukrainians dont have enough conscripts to form brigades anymore...yeah so much winning😂😂😂

  34. ​ @de6212 Russian forces have been advancing daily for the last 3 months and Ukraine cant stop them even with all the western aid

  35. ​ @robertraab Dictators like Zelensky?

  36. ​ FAmericaProudCanadian Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014? Not arguing the rest of your comment there, but Russian troops had already been stationed in Crimea, isnt that the same as saying that the US invaded Cuba because Guantanamo Naval base exists?

  37. Russias allies are more willing to support their ally than the west is in supporting Ukraine, thats not desperation, just a stronger alliance.

  38. ​ @moozoo2589 as they arent a functioning democracy and are in a state of civil conflict, they still arent eligible for NATO membership, I dont know why so many people are getting hung up on that as it's only a minor reason, finland joined NATO, yet no Russian invasion, but Finland didnt violate a standing ceasefire 17 times like Ukraine did, Russia threatened to intervene, the EU said all options including nuclear capabilities would be considered if Russia responded to Ukraine violating the ceasefire, while I agree that the Russian invasion was an overreaction, moving troops to secure the donbas republics would have been enough there, I can understand why they did what they did, but as to NATO expansion, If I was in power in the Kremilin I would have advised rebuilding missile bases in Cuba to remind the west the problems of doing what theyve been doing in easter europe the past 3 decades as the west has clearly forgotten the stakes.

  39. The US could and should enforce an arms embargo over Ukraine, over 70% of they're remaining heavy armaments were made in the US, who also makes the shells and missiles that go with them, an abrams is just an overpriced bulldozer without its ordinance, what good will those F16's be without Raytheon providing more sidewinders, while Europe could make up for some of this, not nearly enough to make a difference.

  40. ​ @smhollanshead ukraine doesnt have to give up the land, they already lost it, as to compensation to the minerals, they were compensated to the tune of billion of dollars of material aid.

  41. But Israel is an anchor of destabalization in the middle east, and has been since its creation in 1948. Aparthied doesnt create stability, ask south africa for comment.

  42. Adjacent countries to Ukraine, like Russia? So there cant be any Russian troops in Russia? Is that what your saying? Because I dont think that would work.

  43. Zelenski will get all the respect he deserves at his trail in Moscow when this is all said and done.

  45. I'm assuming still playing DCSWorld in Poland.

  46. ​​ @timogul Ukraine repeatedly violated the ceasefire established in Minsk II that Ukraine had agreed to, giving Russia 17 reasons to intervene, and the west had at the same time threatened to restore Ukraines nuclear deterrent if Russia responded to Ukrainian aggression, that made the russian reaction inevitable.
    2
  47. In the last month those special forces along with two mechanized brigade have inflicted 16,000 Ukrainian casualties in Kursk, sapping Ukraine of it's best forces and due to the mass migration of Ukrainians escaping the draft its unlikely theyll be able to be replaced unless Ukraine gets a new wave of foreign mercenaries and given the treatment of said mercenaries in the Ukrainian army (failure of payment, theft of equipment, other breaches of contract) that also doubtful, Ukraines future is looking rather bleak.

  48. ​ @JJRM8 the russian army didnt invade Crimea, they were stationed in Sevastapol, thats like saying the US army invaded Georgia because Ft. Benning exist, as to the donbass, the east didnt submit to a western funded coup, I dont blame them, but with that said, Russia didnt invade Lugansk or Donetsk, Ukraine did, and were then beaten back by DNR and LNR militias culminating at the battle of Debaltslavo, 4 months before Russian material support even started to arrive in the donbass republics, and 8 years before Russia intervened directly in the conflict.

  49. ​ @jeffashcraft2388 no it ended after the Ukrainians violated it 14 times in a three week period with missile and artillery strikes on civilian population centers in Lugansk and Donetsk, the coup regime was never interested in peace, only submission.

  50. More probably being sent to eastern Russia as advisors to train Russian artillery battalions on the use of the howitzers and munitions theyve given to Russia because first hand experience is better for training than reading a 70 year old Soviet field manual. Although they would likely be able to go to the front if they volunteer to do so.
