Remember in the Debate when Romney claimed Russian was the greatest geopolitical threat, and Obama scoffing and joking; Senator, the '80s called and want their foreign policy back. 

Remember Obama caught on a hot mike begging Putin for "space" until after the election in exchange for canceling missile defense, and Obama cancelling missile defense after he was reelected. 

Remember the "Russian Reset".

Remember Obama's refusal to sell defensive weapons to Ukraine.

Remember Obama did nothing in 2014 when Putin invaded and began the occupation of Crimea. 

 

Then Trump places sanctions on Russia. 

Then Trump kills 200 of Russia's Wagner Group mercenaries in Syria.

Then Trump begins shipping arms, including Javelin missiles to Ukraine. 

 

Now remember Biden cancelling sanctions on Russia, including those imposed by Trump to gain favor with Putin. 
Now remember Biden halting arms sales to Ukraine to gain favor with Putin. 
Now remember Biden's surrender debacle in Afghanistan, emboldening Putin. 
Now remember Biden saying that the US would not respond to Russia invading Ukraine, if it were only a minor invasion, further emboldening Putin. 

 

When did the left start caring about Ukraine anyways? The left seemed to care nothing about Ukraine until it became politically expedient for them to use in attacking Trump and to pretend Trump was a Russian asset. 

 

The American left would rather see every Ukrainian dead and half of Europe flattened than to see a peace agreement negotiated by Trump.

Sounds like you’ve spent most? a large part of your life in the military. I’m sure one can learn some “skills” in the military but where day to day living is concerned, a civilian upbringing provides better skills and knowledge. IMO.

 

i seriously dont know what you are talking about. i just replied because you replied me. 

tbh there is a war going on where i am.. so... i think its my skills time here instead of civilian maybe?

the orange man made Ukraine bend the knee by using the extortion/threatening/blackmailing tactics, just wondering why the orange man doesn't use the same tactics with Putin, why doesn't he threatening/extortion/blackmailing approach, one has to wonder why he doesn't tell Putin to F off and to shove Putin "unacceptable" demands up his arrrrssss, if EU/Nato troops should be there to keep peace so be it, Putin doesn't like that, so orange man tell him either you accept or I will send more long range missiles, thanks and other military equipment to Ukraine, your choice Vlad. Maybe the big mouth orange man/Krasnov can not challenge his master

He didn't make Ukraine bend the knee, they are on their knees,

3 years ago today, one of Russia's major war crimes remembered.

Yes, because you, a nobody, on a Thai based expat froum thave better Intel than Trump, the POTUS does.

Ukraine lost, trump brought this into the open, but due to 3yrs of being lied to you you cannot fathom that, and think he sold ukraine out.

same old Putin, not agree and not disagree... same same but different, however orange man said that he needs a clear answer, me too 555

 

He didn’t agree or disagree to the ceasefire

Putin finally reacts to Trump's 30-day ceasefire agreement proposal

Well, Vladimir is forced to act cautiously. Of course, he approves of many things in tovarisch Trump's actions. The previous leader of America behaved very rudely with the Russians, believing that America was above this. Tovarisch Trump agreed to equal negotiations. However, such harmful American ideas as the introduction of NATO troops into Ukraine still sound from his lips. Vladimir does not like this very much and is looking for a way to gradually convince Tovarisch Trump of the correctness of Z ideas. However, this takes time - so Vladimir is in no hurry.

Mr Witkoff confirming that President Putin got his last attacks in  under the wire so to speak.So all appears to be good with POTUS and the unfolding peace initiative.

 

“I tend to believe that Putin is operating in good faith” “I take him at his word”

They are crowing in the Kremlin.

 

Appearing on The Evening With Vladimir Solovyov on Tuesday evening, state TV experts didn’t hide their joy over what was happening. State Duma Deputy Andrey Lugovoy—one of the prime suspects in the poisoning of former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko—commented, “Regardless of what happens in the near future, I can state with a full responsibility that we, Russia, have completely won the rematch of the unfortunate outcome of the Cold War, as a result of which the Soviet Union had fallen apart.”

The wet sweet dream of our leader, Vladimir, is to restore the Soviet Union. Unfortunately, ordinary people in Russia and Ukraine have not yet wanted to return to the Soviet Union enough. This is a big problem because Vladimir has nothing to ask from tovarisch Trump, who is ready to cooperate. He cannot ask for the Soviet Union back because people do not yet want it yet. That is why Vladimir sometimes responds too slowly to Trump’s readiness.

Glad to see that the media resources in Russia are trying to help people understand and love their bright Soviet future.

'Everything is finished': Ukrainian troops relive retreat from Kursk

 

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0q198zyppqo

 

The soldier predicted Ukraine's entire foothold in Kursk would be lost but that "from a military point of view, the Kursk direction has exhausted itself. There is no point in keeping it any more".

Western officials estimate that Ukraine's Kursk offensive involved about 12,000 troops. They were some of their best-trained soldiers, equipped with Western-supplied weapons including tanks and armoured vehicles.

Russian bloggers published videos showing some of that equipment being destroyed or captured. On 13 March, Russia said the situation in Kursk was "fully under our control" and that Ukraine had "abandoned" much of its material.

When the history of this senseless war is written, the pipeline ambush operation will be remembered as its most audacious and bold action—proof that when collapse happens, it happens amazingly fast. As Ernest Hemingway famously wrote, 'How did you go bankrupt? Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly.'

I made a similar point in the lead-up to Trump’s election, when I unequivocally predicted that his presidency which was almost guaranteed would change everything. And here we are—everything has changed.

With forced withdrawal, Russia takes away Ukraine's Kursk cards - Zelensky had gambled on being able to trade land in Russia for the return of land in Ukraine. That failed. Ian Proud - RESPONSIBLE STATECRAFT

 

https://responsiblestatecraft.org/ukraine-withdrawal-kursk/

 

Nevertheless, if reports are true, it offers further proof of Russia’s penchant for encirclement, going back to World War II, and the encirclement of the German army outside of Stalingrad. All across the Ukrainian front line during 2024, Russian forces have mounted a series of small tactical encirclements to capture villages and towns. Pro-Russian military bloggers were gleeful that the Kursk encirclement was made possible by gas pipes that were empty because of Ukraine’s decision to halt Russian gas transit to Europe as of January 1.

 

On a lighter note some with long memories may remember Ian Proud he was head of  PolSec at the British Embassy in Thailand in the early noughties who made the mistake of leaving comments open on his valedictory when he left the posting and folks remebered some of his epic bar crawls in should we say less salubrious places !
