I think 2-3 times now Zelensky has agreed to peace talks only at the last minute back out. Not understanding this?

They are trying to get him into Belarus. I don’t blame him I’d consider that a trap. Belarus at this point should be considered an open combatant theyve admitted to firing on a Ukraine airfield.

And they’ve admitted in hosting Russian nukes as of yesterday..

Pro-Russian in the sense that they are fighting against a lot of the destructive western agenda. Green energy, destruction of family and culture, woke politics, emasculation of men/masculine women, LGBTQ, and other items.

Wow...I hate when lefties call conservatives "fascist"...but you really are one. I don't like any of that either, and I don't like it being forced down my throat, but I don't believe in forcing people to my beliefs either.

Far left and far right...you both suck

I think he’s been really good the last few nights. He’s capable of being a very good journalist.

I used to watch him all the time until they all became progressive mouth pieces. I’m hoping Zucker’s exit drags them back to news and accordingly Fox follows suit. We would be in great shape if we had a slightly left and slightly right news source that we could believe what we hear without fact checking them FFS.

Will need to be currently operable kit, cause it takes a long time for training to fly and maintain something new

Yep. No way in hell I’d step foot in that country if I were Zelensky or his designee.

If he goes, he doesn't come back.

Demilitarization should NEVER be an option of a country wanting to stay a country.

Neither should a country giving up industry and letting the enemy produce the stuff it used to manufacture - but that's exactly what we have done here. There's a lot of weird thinking in the world today, and today we seem to be just one of those countries willing to commit suicide.

Also Finland is sending weapons good god Putin has unified the West its awesome.

I just saw on CNN Nord 2 is cancelled. Huge if true.

All of this was caused by NATO expanding east and not being willing to arrive at a reasonable, diplomatic solution which would have been a more neutral Ukraine, clearly intended to provoke and agitate Russia. Mission accomplished on that front.

Now, as Americans, we cheer on the apparent weakness in Russia and Putin for the time being, but ignore the lurking danger that is growing in Turkey. Syria, Cypress, Greek Isles, Georgia, Armenia and Central Asia are now going to be on Erdogan's radar.

Not to mention that we our oppressors and controllers here in The West will tighten their grip with little opposition or counter moves to worry about.

If this plays out as it appears right now, this is a short term victory for the Ukrainians and humanity as a whole. But a world where you have Erdogan, CCP and Anglo-American woke neoliberals/MIC neocons working together is going to fast track the type of nonsense we've been seeing over the past 2 years.

It really kills you that your boy Putin is getting his ass handed to him after he tried to invade another country

GTFO dude

The people being killed, being run over by tanks, bombed in their apartments, these are civilians. They're not culpable for this. Your comment is pathetic. This is an invasion perpetrated by a nuclear super power against a civilian population. Your spin is garbage.

That is all that matters. If the Ukrainians hated their government so much, they wouldn't be fighting and dying so savagely.

Ukraine FM slams 'traitors to humanity' for leaving Russia SWIFT Loopholes: 'Money soaked in our blood'

Ukraine's foreign minister also called for a full embargo of Russian Gas and Oil

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba Sunday condemned the move by western countries to allow Russian energy transactions to continue on the international SWIFT banking system, even as they issued harsh sanctions on other transactions.

"I will not be diplomatic. Some countries are trying to leave loopholes, exclude a number of banks so they can apply some measures with their left hands and continue to trade with Russia with their right hands," Kuleba said.

"Stop doing this now. Stop trading with the blood of Ukrainian men women and children. This is not a metaphor but the reality of what you are doing," Kuleba continued. "History will judge you and your names will forever remain in history books as names of traitors to humanity. There are examples of such names in the 20th century. I am confident you do not want to add your names."

The comments followed a Saturday move by the United States and European allies to exclude much of Russia's banking system, including its central bank, from the SWIFT banking system. According to a senior U.S. administration official, this effectively made Russia "a global economic and financial pariah."

But the sanctions specifically carved out energy purchases like oil and natural gas – products from Russia that some European countries are heavily reliant on.

There better be a huge number of fuel trucks in it or Ukraine is about to get a large influx of new armor pieces.

Twas a joke

 

[Rickyvol77]

No NATO in Ukraine was reasonable. Very reasonable.

Ukraine can do what they want to

Biden is not a stooge, he's just cognitively impaired due to his age.

I did not intend to imply that Biden was a Putin stooge. That referred to Trump, who obviously is.

Ah. I’m not very bright in case you haven’t noticed. My wife can vouch for that just ask her.

 

[Rickyvol77]

Ukraine can want in all they want, but it is NATO that has the decision on if they can become a member. NATO could have shut this down in 2014 (really in 1999) by not expanding eastward. Obviously, that didn't happen and we are here now.

Again nato and these countries can do whatever they want as they are free countries.

People are losing their minds over this post by the Ukrainian National Guard.

Ok I may have jumped the shark on this. In prior reporting they had already delayed certification my inference in the banner was it was outright cancelled.

I'm all for harsh and effective sanctions but we need to maintain some areas of common interest if we hope at some point to deescalate this.

Ukraine is showing more resolve than any other NATO nation in recent memory, but they set themselves up to have their country devastated when there was a pathway for peace available that could have been achieved long ago.

Lol blame the victim here.
