Ukrainian President Zelensky Says He's Open to Ceding Territory to Russia to End War

[Hollie]

A bit of the "Trump effect'', I suspect. Shirley to enrage the left, our comedian friend must understand that he won't have his demands for boatloads of US taxpayer cash and military hardware as he did when he could make demands of Biden-Harris and the democrats who
would jump when the comedian commanded.

I suspect he believes he has more leverage with Euro NATO.

It would be interesting to find out just how many Uke's really want Mr Z as their leader Relluc

One can understand Zelensky wanting to broker a cease fire before Putin's useful idiot makes things worse.for them and better for Putin.

Putin's useful idiot was Biden who is in a tanning booth somewhere now that his endless beach vacations are over with the fall weather.

 

[E. Pluribus]

Giving Putin a corridor to the Black Sea in exchange for guaranteed membership in NATO is worth it.

Putin of course started planning the invasion while his useful idiot was president. He thought his useful idiot would weaken the western alliances. Biden and our allies quickly proved him wrong.

Eastern Ukraine is pro-Russia whereas Western and Central Ukraine are pro-West. A split makes complete sense to me.

 

[ZestolPastilevsky]

Unlike the picture of Putin wearing lipstick, this isn't photoshopped. Anyway, the problem at this point isn't with either of them being unwilling to negotiate, it's that any agreement between the two would be unenforceable for a variety of reasons.

At the time of the invasion, more people in Donbas wanted to stay part of Ukraine than be annexed by Russia.

Zelensky did it as part of a comedy career.

Putin did it to impress people.

The Pentagon can't allow any meaningful interference with the war against Russia by any useful idiot. In any case, it would be too unpopular with the people.

Now that America is being defeated by Russia's overwhelming military strength, Z is planning for a 'freeze' with which to rebuild.

America has risked everything with this war and now realizes that it can't win.

Now it appears that the Zionist regime is going down too as a result of US overreach.

Right, I'm talking about the opposite of interference.

 

[Donald H]

Right, I'm talking about the opposite of interference.

If there was anything that could have been done by Trump that would yield positive results for America, Biden would have done it as ordered by the Pentagon.

Changing the US figurehead acting as president isn't going to make any difference.

It's about time Americans understand that a goofy president or a senile one don't run wars.

Risking America's future on those two fkn idiots??

Look at the voting patterns for the past several years. The east consistently votes for pro-Russia candidates.

Uh huh.. that explains everything doesn't it?? Biden lifted these sanctions:

Of course it is. Elect Trump and suddenly, Canada is kissing our toes, Mexico is interrupting migrant caravans, New York is now open to deporting aliens via ICE, the entire set of BRICS nations trying to upstage the US Dollar are put on notice, and Zelenskyy is open to talks and concessions. And you can bet China is rethinking things as well.

Wow, what a difference an election makes when you don't have a BUM in the White House.
