    I agree. For instance, weapons systems capable of cutting off Crimea should have been given to Ukraine long ago.

    Well, Zoolinksy's goal(s) is by default. Putin's goal has been stated a million times but the West "claims" not to believe him. So, taking it simply we might say:

    1). Russian security (not Russian territory) on the Ukraine-Donbas frontier would be "mission accomplished" in the Kremlin but not in Kyev.
    2). The end to the war without Donbas guarantees against "ethnic cleansing" at any frontier would be unacceptable to Moscow but (presumably) OK with Kyev.

    The whole frenzy in the West (and apparently in Ukraine as well) is the winter hardship ahead for the Ukrainis. No one seems to see it as a particularly fearsome situation for the Russians. So, if Donbas is not yet secure then my bet is Putin will push forward and let Zoolinsky weep all the way to Washington in ice-packed mukluks.

    Yes that was one of their stated goals. They've also declared 4 territories which they don't own all the territory on any of them. (lol) Russia's goals were also "the denazification of Ukraine" That includes the removal of the "nazi regime, Zelenski. Reinstating the previous administration". I don't think that's gonna happen.

    Regardless. The current battle lines as they are now and as they have been this past year are basically the new lines of contention. We have a North Korea/South Korea situation.

    That's why you won't have to rob now. Only instead of banks, yous robbed countries. Take an example from the Russians. They do everything according to the norms of morality, culture and humanity.
    For example. Both the Russians and NATO were in Afghanistan.
    The Russians built hospitals and schools. enterprises, power plants....etc.
    NATO and the United States in Afghanistan only grew opium poppies and produced heroin. That's all.
    Therefore, the Russians withdrew their troops with their heads held high, and Najibullah's regime lasted in Afghanistan for another three years.
    The US and NATO fled Afghanistan in such a hurry that their attendants clung to the landing gear of the aircraft.
    And today, the new Afghan authorities are doing everything to establish cooperation with the Russians.

    We'll see how that turns out.
    I regard that as nothing more than a simple rallying call much like the US declaring war on terrorism.
    That's a given but I don't see Zoolinsky as a Nazi. He's been saddled with the Nazis as America's party favour and even if he were to remain in power (he won't) the CIA will phase him out and find another skirmish in which to employ their neo-Nazis.
    I don't know. Operation TP Ajax destroyed Iran's Democratic government and after so many years the only ones capable of dislodging the US puppet dictator Shah was the Islamic Revolution. Has Iran ever found its way back to Democracy since then? Nope! That's probably because the Persians see Democracy as the weak link that allowed its own self-destruction by a force that itself claims to be the leader of the free and democratic world. We've also witnessed what "democracy" did to Irak. If that's how Democracy is represented ....... who wants it? :cynic:

    How will a similar situation affect Ukraine? I predict a whole lot of turmoil in Ukraine (not that it hasn't already been a huge turd all along) and maybe Russia will want to keep its distance. But then Washington cannot keep their noses out of it so it could be that there will be further friction over there with Ukraine keeping a lower profile ... and as long as Dombas is either free, or independent, or incorporated into the Russian Federation maybe Moscow won't give a crap what happens to Kyev. Anyway, Zoolinksy will be gone faster than the Shah of Iran and Idi Amin could pack their toothbrushes.

    DOI stated a series of stone-cold facts. Despite those facts being registered you disagree with them but haven't provided any supporting motivation other than, "fantasy!" Are you chickening out of the issue?

    About what exactly negotiations should be held? About giving to Russia, part of Ukraine? Ok, they will agree, will rebuild their army and start again. And then what? US direct involvement with troops, or again part of Ukraine as a prize to Russia? Or You think that Putin, who doesn't give a **** about any agreements, this time will keep his word? Its just naive.

    Yes, I clearly understand that your brain is not capable of calculating, that missing of letter "t" in quite long string of text is just mistyping. This explains, why people like you don't have their own opinion and are able to just repeat stupid propaganda without involvement of thinking process.

    No, this is why "people like me" have a high regard for grammar :reading: and why people like you advocate the use of guns :gun: in the absence of communication. Let that sink in.

    I don't know about grammar, but you certainly don't have your own opinion, and It's a lot worse than some mistyping.

    In a competition between the two of us (to determine truth and fact), my opinion will still be standing while yours has been swept away.

    There is nothing to stand. I think you can't even understand what it is - your own opinion. Your opinion is not mechanic repeat of Russian propaganda statements, and It's what you do here constantly. People have their opinion, when they can explain and argue their statements and beliefs. But you clearly can't, your limit is claiming, that You are a veteran and that's all. So, it is what it is.

    You see, instead of arguing anything, you just post silly bullshit about grammar, you as a veteran and that others, for some unknown reason, should read all paragraphs. You see, that's your limits, thinking and arguing about complex things like politics is not in your capabilities, you can just repeat what others, in your case - the Russian fascist regime, told you. But as soon as anyone asks you to argue your statements, you just can't do it.

    Paragraphs, yes. Of all the pages upon pages I've written :pc:, it seems you've only read one sentence, the one above in bold red text.

    You know, there's nothing wrong with purchasing a second-hand car but not one that's jimmy-rigged as much as yours is. :lol:

    Why should I reed it again, when you got nothing to say? I'm fluent in Russian and can read Russian propaganda in original, I don't need copy/paste veteran for that. I just don't understand, what's your point to be copy paster here?You Do not look very clever because of it, more like the opposite.

    And a person like this offering to reread his posts, as it is some valuable information in it.

    By the way, you did not answer, veteran of which war you are. You are from Sweden - country, that last time was in war 200 years ago. You are a veteran of the war against Napoleon in 1813-1814? :D

    Not only is your grammar faulty but your mathematics is also shabby. Do you really think I could be 200 years old? :alcoholic:
