    With “starting” it he probably meant Ukraine allowing the US to meddle in its politics overthrowing Janukovich in 2014. And he is damn right about that.

      Wait so, its Ukraines fault for allowing their Russian puppet government to be influenced by the United States? And somehow this is Ukraine starting this conflict and not Russia? That only makes sense if you think that Russia has the right to do whatever they want to Ukraine which is a rejection of Ukrainian sovereignty.

      He’s also been shown to be ridiculously susceptible to flattery and pomp, two things Moscow can provide in spades, with little cost to themselves. He also seemingly genuinely believes, that there is nothing more to politics but raw self-interest and primitive power displays, when there’s a reason your edgy teenage friend didn’t stumble upon some higher wisdom when claiming that about the world.

      Maybe you could arrange trips? Like a cruise where you meet up in the UK, piss of Thatcher’s grave, figure out where Bin Laden was dropped off in the ocean and empty the ships septic tanks there before proceeding to Mar-a-lago… Or whatever golf course Eric sticks the old man to qualify it for tax exemption.

    I bet Trump will invite Putin for a state visit before the peace has been brokered. Trump will spend hundreds of millions of tax dollars to impress Putin with a ridiculous ceremony. And Trump will gift hundred nuclear warheads to Putin.

    When I woke up this morning I saw the headline and I thought “here we go again”. I watched the video and my impression is that he said that sentence in his classic dementia rambling, right after it he said “he should have ended it”.

    Basically he was blaming Zelensky for not having negotiated right away and Biden for not having pushed for it.

    Not sure if this makes it any better, but at least I got the impression he mispoke saying that particular thing.

      No, I’m done giving him the benefit of the doubt. The President of the United States should be able to clearly articulate a thought.

        This is not giving him any benefit of the doubt, it’s trying to understand what he wanted to say given the fact that he is not able to articulate a thought. That is what I understood from the video, he rambles all the time and says random stuff, I think it’s a matter of fact he can’t articulate a thought. Sure, it’s a disgrace that one of the most powerful men in the world (if not the most) can’t do that, but here we are.

    The media under the Biden administration has significantly influenced public perception. This conflict should never have occurred, but it was driven by financial interests, disguised as support for Ukraine. For those who believe that peace is not a viable solution, I ask: how much more territory must Ukraine lose before you reconsider your stance? How many more lives must be sacrificed?

      Peace is possible but only if Puttler fucked right off.

      Puttler has shown he doesn’t care for lives, he bombs innocent people all day. He didnt stop at Crimea back then so why would he stop now?

      Its not Ukraine that sacrifices lives its Puttler.

        You have yet to address the question. How many lives or how much territory is acceptable? It seems that many are content to see this conflict persist until Ukraine no longer exists, as it is easy to adopt such a perspective when you are not on the front lines.

            How many? Cause the ukranian soldiers on the front line already spoke about this. Will you be joining them in their death march or will you sit at home?

                  I’m advocating for Ukrainians deciding what to do with their own country. Nothing more nothing less.

                  I’m an immigrant to Canada. My ancestors fought several of these freedom wars against overwhelming odds. Everything in my national identity demands I respect Ukrainians making the call on that, just like my ancestors did. I would be a disgrace to my ancestors if I didn’t.

                  If Ukrainians decide that it’s “freedom of death”, that’s for them to decide, just like my ancestors got to decide exactly the same question at least 3-4 times in the past 200 years.

                  But you didn’t answer my question. Your post history suggests you’re a yank, your account name suggests indigenous ancestry. Which is it? Basically, how much do you have any fucking clue what a national liberation struggle is?

            There doesn’t appear to be any substantial or thoughtful input here. It’s clear that media influence has played a significant role in shaping this perspective.

    Russia literally started it when they invaded the first time. Trump would lose his mind if we lost even the tip of Florida to mexico… Seems inane to me, don’t make shit up that’s obviously a lie. Tell it like it is he thinks “Ukraine would be better under a united Russian federation.” That’s it. That’s what Putin wants. For a tiny man Putin sure has swung a big metal dick around. Genuinely wonder what would happen now that he’s old, if one of the younger, stronger, physically better, nation leaders wooped his ass in a meeting, like, tazed him, took any poison you know the bastard is carrying. Let him recover. Then woop the ever loving piss out of the ol vinegar bucket. Make him cry uncle and don’t stop until he does. Sure he’s a little man with a little sensitive ego, who would start a war for such an encroachment, but what would happen if you just kept woopin until he pleaded, and swore no wars would take place? I bet he would keep to his word if you brought him to tears, he’s never been wooped like that really, no scars to show like John McCain had from actually being hurt, and Putin’s had spy training so at least some level of training against torture, so crying would likely be about the point you shatter his rotator cuff in an arm bar while belittling him for being so weak… But if not you just start grabbing parts of his body and bending it the wrong direction until the job is done, he claims “he’s old and fell down the stairs” like Mitch McConnel keeps doing, and the public moves on. I’m just sayins all, he’s an old constipated bitch, your belly shouldnt distend like that if you aren’t fat, and you definitely don’t have abs if your belly distends like that… So poop. Half his weight in pure, backed up, shit. I bet most teenagers could probably take him in a fair fight. Maybe if the poverty rate in Russia wasn’t so high he could have gotten Ukraine to rejoin on their own for the merits it included, but looks to me like Russia wanted the mineral rights that trump tried to trade for.
