  1. Rwanda is invading the Congo and you probably didn’t even know until I just told you. https://foreignpolicy.com/2025/02/28/rwanda-congo-invasion-africa-conflict/
  2. You seem to operating from a position of how you want this to be, as opposed to how it is. Russia is slowly making gains and is overwhelming Ukraine with drones that they keep mass producing. Putin has zero regard for human life and has an almost endless amount of bodies to throw at this war. Zelenskyy is running out of money and bodies. The EU can step up and help with his money issue if the US pulls back, but it only prolongs a war they’ll never win unless it becomes WW3. Eventually Zelenskyy will run out of bodies. And the longer this goes, the more incremental the Russian gains are, and the more Putin will leverage in peace negotiations. Thats the reality of this. Ukraine is currently pulling fathers and sons from their homes by force to speed train them and send them to the front lines weeks later. The front lines, where a dystopian hellscape awaits them.
  3. Zelenskyy just secured a 2.7 billion dollar loan from the UK, so that will help keep this going another 5-10 days. As for the question above of what does Russia want? From what I’ve heard, it’s to keep the Donbas & Crimea, along with a reduction in the Ukrainian military and for the West to stop flirting with Ukraine/NATO membership. At which point Russia would then shift efforts towards installing a pro-Russia leader to replace Zelenskyy in their next election.
  4. What is it you want? Because it sounds like you want a never-ending American occupation of Afghanistan and US troops on the ground in Ukraine. You’re basically a simple minded war hawk that lacks debate skills and only has the bandwidth to continually repeat one of two points made on Nicolle Wallace’s show.
  5. Everything about this post is wild. Im convinced you’re not a real person at this point. A) That’s not a solution / you sound like a child. B) Trump is the only President of my lifetime with no new wars breaking out during his Presidency and in the Middle East, he literally had the Abraham Accords. What chaos did we have under Trump 45 in the Middle East? It was as calm as it could possibly be, and then Biden came in, bungled the Afghanistan withdrawal and October 7th happened under his watch.
  6. Ok, well, he won’t. So, how would you like us to accomplish this? Still haven’t seen any specifics, aside from one poster that acknowledges Ukraine will have to make land sacrifices in a peace deal, even if not fair.
  7. Clearly you don’t understand this. Europe doesn’t have the ability or will to lift up Ukraine. Ukraine is running out of bodies. America has been bankrolling the war, and now the American public wants out. This is an unwinnable war for Ukraine unless we enter WW3, which is what Zelenskyy wants. And I don’t blame him, but that’s not in our interests, at all. So, here we are. And you still can’t answer the question… what do you want given the reality of this situation? If you want American troops on the ground, just say it. Thats how Ukraine wins. Otherwise it’s a slow death funded by American tax dollars until they run out of bodies OR a peace deal in which - yes, it’s not fair - but Russia likely keeps some land and gets assurances about NATO & Ukraine’s future as it pertains to the West. The Disclose article is based on conversations very much ongoing in German circles Unlike the pulled from thin air quote from “The Halfway Post” above that I cannot believe has been quoted by multiple people as real…
  8. Oh, they set a “goal”. Got it. How very EU of them. In other words, all talk. The rest of your post is simply opinion.
  9. They won’t answer. They never do. They think they have the moral high ground by playing Call of Duty in their head with other peoples lives. They can’t stand to be bothered by the reality of American tax dollars being set on fire so Ukraine and Russia can go town to town, pulling fathers, sons and brothers from their homes to be quickly trained and sent to the front lines where they face the likely horrific dystopian proposition of death by drone. No amount of body bags is too high for them, because they decided during Trump 45 that Russia/Putin is our biggest geopolitical threat. They still think he’s the reason Trump won, therefore they’ll convince themselves Russia wants to take Europe and unless American tax dollars and disposable Ukrainian lives stop them, Russia will be rolling through Paris next year. After all, this is about “protecting democracy” and the zero tolerance for invasions of sovereign nations… I’ll now check this board to find mention of Rwanda/Congo.
  10. Germany was always going to go back to Russia. Those talks have already started as that link states. The fact of the matter is, as my next post indicates, Germany (and the EU) really never came off of Russian energy, they just started playing a shell game with it. And as their economies struggle, expect talk of eliminating the shell game and buying direct from the source to get louder and louder. They can talk all they want about standing unified with Ukraine.. without America, they don’t have the stomach or economy to wage that war.
  11. https://www.highnorthnews.com/en/germany-continues-import-russian-natural-gas-through-belgium-and-netherlands https://www.highnorthnews.com/en/germany-cant-shake-russian-gas-lng-purchases-arctic-yamal-project-skyrocket https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/Germanys-Imports-of-Russian-LNG-From-Other-EU-Ports-Jump.amp.html https://foreignpolicy.com/2025/01/03/europe-russia-ukraine-war-energy-imports-oil-gas-pipeline/ “In 2024 the EU imported a record 16.5 million metric tons of Russian LNG from Russia…” The only nuance is whether or not they buy Russian energy direct from the source or continue to play games where they still buy it, in increasing amounts as we get further and further from the initial Russian invasion, but in a roundabout way.
  12. This is the Europe that’s got Ukraine’s back if we pull out? Ok.. good luck.
  13. Rubio on CNN with Kaitlan Collins was fantastic. Gives insight to why he looked like he wanted to murder someone sitting on the couch. Hes been working on this minerals deal with Scott Bessant since coming on board, only to have Zelenskyy use this to pull a stunt.
  14. Schoen was actually right to not pay Barkley, but ended up getting torched because of the show.
  15. Europeans are going to turn on this war real quick when they find out how much of their life is subsidized by American defense spending abroad.
  16. According to reporters, Zelenskyy begged to stay, his delegation tried to work things out and Marco Rubio told them they had to leave. Trump knows how this will play with the American public, and it’s why he and Vance went into this knowing they were fine with it playing out this way. Zelenskyy will now back down or Ukraine will soon have a new President. Your weird delusions aside, this was such a pivotal moment and moves us far closer to peace than we’ve ever been.
  17. Lmaooo… Fox interviewing Lindsey Graham and they ask him how he feels after that exchange and Lindsey Graham says “devestated”. And this is where Zelenskyy seriously messed up… Graham is now openly calling for Zelenskyy to be removed. This man has arguably been the biggest pro-war, pro-Ukraine, pro-Zelenskyy member of Congress.
  18. Lots of talk that pro-Ukraine leaders in the GOP are back-channeling their counterparts in Ukraine that elections may be needed. If Zelenskyy leaves America without patching this up, the next time a Ukrainian President comes here, it may not be him.
  19. No invasions like this occurred under Trump 45. They happened under 44 and 46, but ok.. Its notable that criticism of Trump’s foreign policy is always based on fear mongering and not actual result.. Because his foreign policy results ranging from no major wars to the Abraham Accords have been incredibly strong.
  20. Tell me you don’t understand the reasoning behind the rise of BRICS without telling me.
  21. Why? Dont say “because Russia is going to roll through Europe and take over the world” Nobody believes that anymore and its always been complete and utter nonsense. What is your end game here? Just bleed Russia forever with our tax dollars and Ukrainian body bags?
