View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Originally Posted By OscarD: I don’t want them to die. I just want them to lose already so we can stop throwing good money after bad. The mass graves, torture chambers, and legitimate goon squads in Russian occupied zones say what? Originally Posted By Lieh-tzu: What diplomatic solution? Why would Russia negotiate or accept a partial victory when they have a clear path to complete victory through military means? I've asked this many times without a good answer, and the answer gets even farther out of reach over time: how can Putin be induced to negotiate anything other than a Ukrainian surrender? Even if there were an answer to that question, here's another one that's hard to answer: what could possibly guarantee security for a rump Ukraine in the future? The simple answer is NATO membership for rump Ukraine, but how could you get Putin to accept that? There is ZERO basis for a diplomatic solution at this point in time. Everybody knows that it only means a total Ukrainian surrender. So let's ask the question the other way: how could you induce Zelensky to surrender? /thread |

This only ends with a Ukrainian defeat on some level.
As of now it only matters how much globalists can send to their far left activists in other countries. That's where these billions are going after they buy their yachts and villas in western countries as they plot their mass migration elsewhere. Just saw how over 3 billion of the latest funds goes towards mass migration in western countries. Nothing to do with Ukraine. Look it up. |

The Uke bros keep talking about a non-existent deal where they think the US ever agreed to help them
They refer to the Budapest Memorandum but. No where does it say USA will defend or help them if they were invaded |

Russia population - 145 million
Ukraine population - 38 million Russia GDP - 2.24 trillion Ukraine GDP - 160 billion The die was cast from the start, they were never going to "win" no matter how much taxpayer money we throw at them. Only lose slower. The best thing they can hope for is to lose 90% of their MAM population which will quickly be replaced by Russian immigrants and foster a multi generational insurgency which will be a minor thorn in Russia's side for years to come. |

Where did you hear this nonsense? I doubt there are anything close to 1700 SCALPS in existence right now, and there is zero chance of the US divesting long range cruise missiles. Zero. We could give them a hundred F16's right now and it would do nothing. They have something like 12 pilots still in training and a handful still in the queue waiting to start their yearlong pipeline. Are we going to start growing Ukrainian soldiers too? Where are these "more recruits" coming from? I guess if we're just making shit up an aircraft carrier or two would definitely help out as well. |

View Quote An earlier post said Ukraine has 38 million people. If so, how many millions would russia kill by starvation? How long is this expected to take, or are they going to drag it out? How many by execution? Will this be just from state initiated "investigations?" Are neighbors, the victim's children, or Karens' allowed to submit to the state's hit lists. This is a softer Russia than the Soviets that lost out to China in the last centuries genocide games. I do not think Putin has it in him to top China this century. China out in the lead, is running concentration camps filled with Chinese Uyghurs and the west seems to have no fucks to give. |
