The Ukraine war thread

[Mik]

Good observation.

@Mik

I thought so as well.

I’m the meantime, I have nothing to say about the past 24 hrs of hearsay surrounding Moscow’s and Dim Philby’s (Witkoff the dummkopf) latest terms of unconditional surrender being laid out before the embattled Ukrainian nation.

[Mik]

Oh, the cash for land, but you really still own it? Absurd to the point of surreal.

[Renauda]

Surreal is right. I really cannot comprehend how the US could even table the alleged terms for the Ukranians’ consideration.

[Mik]

He's just throwing shit against the wall to see if anything sticks.

[Renauda]

I don’t believe that for a minute. War diplomacy is not a jam session to see what sticks to the wall.

[Mik]

Normally, no, it isn't. but we're pretty short on normal here. I don't think Trump can conceive of someone NOT wanting to make a deal.

[Renauda]

You may be right… after all, Trump still thinks Putin is his trusted friend.

[Mik]

I don’t think he believes it, he just tries to sell it. With normal humans it may have value, but Putin is not by any means a normal human.

[Renauda]

While he’s trying to sell it (or something to whom, no one knows for certain), Putin is slowly drowning him in a spoonful of water.

[Mik]

Indeed. Why should he quit? He still has at least a tenuous hold on Russia and in a war of attrition he will probably win. Not a bad approach if you don't care how many Russians you lose.
