Maybe true, but they’ll just put the dissenters into the front lines and problem solved. --------------------- DJT-45/47 MAGA !!!!! “Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum videtur.” "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on, or by imbeciles who really mean it." — Mark Twain “Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.” — H.

Good luck with that.  "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

It's not really a question of having enough weapons in this case, it's a question of having enough soldiers. You can have all the weapons in the world, but if there is no one to man them, then what difference does it make. The day the war of movement stopped and it became trench warfare, is the day it become virtually impossible for Ukraine to "win" this war. They don't have a big enough army to break through layers of static defenses. There is zero chance the Ukrainian army by itself can retake the Crimean peninsula or the Eastern provinces currently occupied by Russia. ---------------------------------- "These things you say we will have, we already have."

This is shaping up to be, for Ukraine, a repeat of the 1864-1870 Paraguayan War (aka War of the Triple Alliance), and for Zelenskyy, Paraguayan President Solano-López. That war cost Paraguay over 50% of its population overall, up to 90% of its military-aged men, and the president his life fighting the guerilla war phase. Look those up and you'll see the parallels. | |||

Lol, so I guess if you don't wish to go to war you can just continue to sell dope on the street corner. Okeydokey. Oh wait, what happens to drug dealers in Russia? nevermind. "Practice like you want to play in the game" | |||

Zelenskyy talks of "Full and unconditional ceasefire". The path he's on leads to full and unconditional surrender. You gotta know when to hold 'em... === I would like to apologize to anyone I have *not* offended. Please be patient. I will get to you shortly. | |||

That deal definitely changes the equation of the Ukraine - Russia war. Hopefully we get repaid and the meat grinding days are over. | |||

^^^^^ The deal doesn't include repayment of funds already given to them. Only on future payments. Trump wanted it for all funds given but they wouldn't agree. Its a start anyway. We need the rare earth minerals. So thats good. Guessing our involvement will have some pull on how little z responds or perhaps a change will come. I really can’t see z bitting his tongue long enough for peace to happen. | |||

I thought the UK already locked up the minerals in January. They just wanted US to provide military backup. | |||

Unless I heard that directly from the PotUS I do not think he would sign any deal that was one that didn't give the US what he wanted, period. "Practice like you want to play in the game" | |||

All I have to go on is the article Para linked above. Go ahead and pick and choose what you want to believe in the article though. Guess you will wait until Trump reports on it before you believe any of it. | |||

Mustang-Papa is correct and it's a shitty fucking "deal" if you want to call it that. More like U.S. taxpayers will continue paying out the ass for some nebulous future benefit and Trump just forgave $500 Billion (!!!) in aid to Ukraine. It's not our fucking war and I wish Trump had stayed out of it, like Vance wanted. https://www.csis.org/analysis/...kraine-minerals-deal | |||

Indeed, I will wait to hear more from the President. Signing a shitty deal is not something I see us doing. Zero chance. "Practice like you want to play in the game" | |||

Oh, look. Bitching about a deal made by Donald Trump. What could go wrong with that? | |||
