Invasion of Ukraine • Page 175

Biden drip-feeding munitions since the start has unfortunately led to this point

 

For the future of Ukraine’s security and sovereignty, all diplomacy talks need to include Ukraine joining NATO. It’s the only way to ensure there isn’t a “special military operation” from Russia years from now. I hope there’s no one that wants this to be repeated.

 

I doubt they would ever agree to it. Part (most) of their reasoning for the invasion was to create a buffer between them and NATO states. Cementing another NATO state right next door is counter to that.

 

Meanwhile Finland’s entire east coast borders Russia and there was no invasion. Russia simply wants Ukraine. Ukrainian sovereignty was never an idea that Russia liked.

 

Ukrainian President Zelensky has confirmed the first official casualties among North Korean soldiers fighting for Russia in Ukraine.

I think its a complete black box in terms of how any negotiations might go; in public obviously most of Trump's crew has been against helping Ukraine, but he has hired some pro-Ukraine people as well. And we know Trump likes to act like the Alpha dog, so that could influence how Trump responds to Putin, whether he threatens to unleash western weapons into Ukraine, or fully forces Zelensky to accept whatever Putin demands. Really have no clue how this will go.

 

it is a sad state of affairs and a scathing indictment of the ineptitude of Joe Biden that I am actually a tiny bit hopeful that trump can possibly work something out here
