RE: Trump: Peace agreement being worked & ceasefire not needed.16 Aug 2025 13:00
The negheads would not be here if it were not for the war whilst trying to claim the moral ground pretending they actually give a damn, the hypocrisy has no bounds.
Never the less this meeting was positive consider the other option that was available more deep state BS or Trump?
IMV Trump knows Ukraine is done and is not going to want to be the President when the country collapses so I anticipate some progress.
Of course he will be blamed by the ideologically driven in Europe etc ie; sell out, Putin lover etc...but this ignores the critical situation the country is in.
'Luckily, unlike the self-appointed geopolitical "experts" here, the actual leaders involved seem to easing off the sabre-rattling'
LOL are you even aware Zelensky was in Germany with the sabre rattling Mertz yesterday and then immediately flew into London for more of the same with our equally delusional PM?
Agree with your post Greenock, Zelensky is a piece of work IMV as are the vast majority of politicians in Europe if he is outed the entire grift comes to a grinding halt.
Hope Trump and Putin manage a sensible solution over the next few months though fully expect the EU/UK to do all they can to jeapordise any meaningful progress towards peace.
Great program by the Duran on utube for anyone interested 'Zelensky & Rutte FAIL to get invite to ALASKA'
'Considering all that I reckon he’s put up a good fight '
They did better than that IMO they put up an incredible fight.
It's not the fighters that are the problem, it's the ideological nutcase's (including ours) that put them in that position you won't see them anywhere near the sharp end.
Ukraine dictating the terms of a ceasefire is like a boxer going 8 rounds with a prime Floyd Mayweather getting their face punched in and demanding the referee stop the fight to declare himself a winner.
Trump and the rest of Europe have very limited cards, Zelensky doesn't even hold one.
Pokrovsk is a serious crisis now the defence lines have been breached we are seeing the first serious collapse as for not conceeding land to Putin....there wont be an option and to make it worse he will simply take a whole load more if the useful idiots continue 'project' Ukraine.
Trump is not going to want to be the president who watches large parts the Ukraine annexed, he wants to be the president who off ramps and takes 'credit' for stopping a disastrous war becoming an even bigger disaster IMV.

The current situation in the Donbas is not good the Ruskies are currently encircling Pokrovsk & Kostyantynivka and strengthening their forces in Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk.
The Ukrianian future is bleak either come to the table and strike a deal or they lose a lot more through sheer imbalance in force, many more people die.
Chelsea is not wrong the situation is critical I believe Trump knows this and does not want to be the president when the inevitable collapse occurs, hence his thinking is try and off ramp now?

The recorded telephone convo between Victoria Nuland and Jeffrey Pyatt plotting the political transition in Ukraine over a decade ago, ppl moaning about present day US interference in Ukraine need to wake up the the reality of what’s already been and gone.
RE: Putin to meet Trump in Alaska next week Alaska10 Aug 2025 12:41
The war started in 2014 Dietch there were thousands of people killed in the Donbas prior to the Ruskie invasion and prior to Zelensky.
Remember the famous quote by Poreshenko ‘your children will stay in their basements’
Even after all this a peace agreement was signed in 2022 but this was torn up post a certain individuals intervention.
We also learned of the duplicitous actions of the EU blatantly using the Minsk agreement for the purpose of future conflict.
There is no way the west is innocent they also have responsibility for this disaster as does Russia which as always impacts millions who had zero interest in their stupidity.
RE: Putin to meet Trump in Alaska next week Alaska10 Aug 2025 12:16
No one is justifying anything the fact is there are serious issues in the region that are not going away we are talking about how things move forward and ppl manage to put their differences to one side and manage peace?
If you research you will see after maiden over 12,000 people were killed native Russian speakers and orthodox Christian’s persecuted the BBC even has multiple historical references and programmes referencing issues in the Ukraine and that’s just one source.
