The terms of Ukrainian surrender. Since it's obvious they will be destroyed one way or another and it's a waste of life and resources for both sides -Ukraine and Russia and only one side benefits- USA. It's the simplest of truth.

saw a meme the other day.... "if Russia stops fighting, there's no more war. If Ukraine stops fighting, there's no more Ukraine".
Writes Mark Hertling, former Commanding General of United States Army Europe.
I see you've got a quote where Hertling is spewing out a bunch of unfounded generalizations. Color me unimpressed. As I wrote in another recent post:
"The West has lied to Putin ever since he's been in power. In fact, the lies had already started before Putin became president and have continued for twenty years: the promise that NATO would not move one further inch to the east, Dubya's unilateral withdrawal from the ABM treaty, Trump's unilateral withdrawal from the INF treaty, Merkel's admission that no one in the west had any intention of abiding by the Minsk agreements. . ."

In his fantastic first volume on his view of WWII "The Gathering Storm" Churchill laid out how easy it would have been to stop hitler in the beginning. A book I think every human should read before they are out of high school. Churchill would have never let this nightmare happen. Another Unnecessary War.

. . . Putin is the new Hitler, doncha know!
He's a madman who invaded poor little innocent Ukraine - a country which has no neo-Nazis at all and has never had any blood on its hands. Why is Putin doing these mean things? It's obvious - it's because he's the new Hitler!
The Ukrainians never lied about their objectives, and they have been totally clear about the conditions for negotiations.
Too bad they are not acceptable to you. Get used to it, as they are winning.
it's pretty much common knowledge that Russia has lost over 100K in that little incursion, and they are looking at 175K by late fall of 2023. Think that's the prod hitting him right now. He just wants to quit and yet save some face. The Ukrainians know this, and are in the driver's seat. All he has to do is simply pull back across the border into Russia, but his mind won't allow it to happen. Still think he's doomed at home much like Hitler was in late 1944.
What is about to happen is not in the Ukraine, but to the north and of course Chechnya. At least two (or more) of his puppet states may well leave. Be watching Japan and the northern islands closely. Just a matter of time
Gary
putin will not be doomed like hitler because Germany was invaded. An invader invaded. What a novel concept. This will not happen to russia. As to Japan and northern islands might you elaborate a bit?
Embrace the Mundane-Alfred E. Neuman
Japan wants the northern islands back, and Russia wants them. Russia is no place to negotiate here as they are a toothless wolf.
Gary
And I hope you're right but I will believe it it when I see it. From what I read proper Russia lost maybe 10k troops. Another 15k troops lost might have been allied militia. Ukraine loses are over 100k dead and three times that wounded and their economy is entirely funded by US and to far lesser degree EU. They are DONE
I can only wish it were ten thousand KIA, as I hate death in the most way, and trust me I know the stench of death upfront and personal.
Now let us take this in a completely different direction. I've been there and done this same bull shit, and I've seen the results three feet away. Basic light infantry and Cavalry action is what we are seeing almost daily.
Light Infantry depends on their right fist and left hand fist. By themselves they are dog meat, and they know this for a fact. Doesn't matter what uniform; they know it. 85% of all KIA's on the battlefield are from artillery, and not a rifle or bomb. Aircraft claim another 10%, and suspect the numbers to be slightly deflated. Really closer to 12%. Rest is from interactions with light infantry and disease and suicide. Infantry just simply cleans up the mess in the end. God bless them as i wouldn't want to.
Russian arty is quite suspect; if not a joke. U.S. is a little better, but only as good as the guy calling in the arty strike can use a map. Now we see real time arty strikes from drones, and this alone is a plus on one side's favor. An HE round is as generic as it can get (or is it not). The fuse used makes or breaks the generic round, and this is is a big plus with the west. Especially when talking time fuses and aerial burst. The western made arty seems to group much better down range; although the Ukrainians were rather suspect six months ago. Now the Ukrainians appear to be the class of the field down range. The wheeled and tracked equipment is similar, but one side seems to be able to get in your face a little better (kinda like nothing to loose). So where does all this crap lead up to? Infantry is well known to seriously inflate their KIA numbers. Yet KIA's have never won a battle in the last 100 years. The command demands it, so you give them everybody's number in one package. I think the actual score (sic) is far closer to 50K. Yet that is a substantial number for eleven months! We've all seen the train loads of bodies headed east in box cars headed back east. The Wagner group has a claimed loss of 500 on one day more than once (i suspect 150 is a better number). Another case of inflation to make one's self look better. Yet 150 KIA is quite a feat. In my era a classic fire fight resulted in about six to eight KIA in forty seconds, and often none. Somebody said the number was closer to 10K KIA, and my only answer is keep dreaming!
This little war will move to other venues before it's done. Russia can't be in four or five areas at the same time. Ukraine has simply tied Russia's hands for the other players to make their move. It's within eyesight as I write this.
Gary
. . . that Russia has lost perhaps 30,000 troops - but maybe you're right that that number includes the allied militia. Ukronazi losses amount to about 150,000 so far. IIRC, this estimate is from Colonel Douglas Macgregor, who maintains multiple contacts at the Pentagon and is thus privy to information not available to the average MSM propaganda scribe working for the usual war-mongering sources. (And in any case, the old biddy EU head honcho, Mrs. von der Lyin', blurted out that 100,000 Ukrainian OFFICERS have been killed as of the end of November. She probably meant troops rather than officers though - LOL!)
Anyway, here's Macgregor's latest interview from earlier today:

Who knows, it might turn out that you smoke better stuff than I do! ;-)
Nevertheless it's a fact that Mrs. von der Lyin' blurted out what she did, and I figure that, as President of the European Commission, she might have some reliable sources for her 100,000 number - even though she had to walk it back when the Ukronazis got. . . uh. . . triggered about what she had said. ;-)
We have to destroy him before he destroys us. This is a pervasive sentiment.
Honestly it looks like mind control to me.
It has been clear for years putin does have a goal of completely destroying Ukraine. Completely, both as the state and as people.
All the Ukrainians want is for ruSSia to go away and leave them alone.
I have no idea where you are coming from, but you are spewing nonsense here.
He's coming from the same place you have been coming from for all of the years you've posted here.
Somehow, you now find something you disagree with yourself about.
"Reality cannot exist because it cannot keep up with the lies on the Internet."
This may be your war. It's not mine.
Yeah, lets send US troops to Nato Ally Poland LOL
"Poland is part of NATO, founded in 1949 to protect Western Europe against a Soviet attack. After the Cold War, the alliance expanded to include former Soviet allies, including Poland, which joined the alliance in 1999."

It is Ukrainian war. It is just the second largest European war in 100 years... maybe longer. It only affects 200,000,000 people. Two largest countries in Europe.
Why to care?
It effects way more then 200,000,000 people.

It's a final warning. He's willing to negotiate or he will begin to implement his alternate plan.
Assets are in position.
The people that want nuclear war are making progress.

And he doesn't even want much... just the whole Ukraine.
Sorry... what is "ukraine"? There is no such thing. Just the ruSSian territory east of Polish border.
a 'big' change in Washington could grant him is wish.
Don't see him living that long.
