Is it time that the West started pressuring Ukraine and the comedian Zelensky to start negotiating a peaceful resolution with Russia?

The war in Ukraine has followed the usual pattern of pretty much every war that the West has got itself involved in for decades.

Initially it is presented as a simple battle between good and evil, black and white. Then slowly it becomes clear to the population that things are more complex. The war gets bogged down.

The MSM which will have played a big part in the initial warmongering gets bored and moves on to other issues, as does the public.

For months we have been bombarded with daily propaganda about Ukraine winning the war. Even the current mass evacuation of citizens from Kyiv is presented as a sign that Russia is losing.

Sanctions have been a massive own goal, causing economic devastation across the West, and particularly the EU with its disastrous energy policy, having turned itself into a Russian colony so it can posture about climate change.

Zelensky seems to make daily never-ending demands for more money and arms with a total lack of self awareness.

It's time to accept reality and push Zelensky into a peaceful settlement of his country's localised border dispute with Russia. If it means losing some land, mainly inhabited by people who want to live in Russia anyway, so be it.

No. Aggressive taking of land from a neighbouring country should never be allowed.

Not at all. I have given my opinion. The masses just haven't caught up yet. But I am sure they soon will. I've been way ahead of the curve on Afghanistan, Syria, Libya and now this. It's no different. The West will end up retreating with their tails between their legs as usual.

I think technically speaking the US invaded Afghanistan, though for reasons that were initially justified.

Under Biden the US economy is in a mess. Like our own beloved government he has massively overspent. Inflation is high, interest rates are having to go up. A recession looms.

Biden's pigacy extends to his support for Ukraine. He has given them more in aid than the entire annual Russian military budget.

The Republicans have a different perspective on America's strategic interests, and against the backdrop of a flailing economy will ask more questions about why they are getting bogged down in a war that's irrelevant to their interests. Even the Democrats seem to be concerned that Zelensky is an ingrate who's making no effort to compromise.

The debacle in Afghanistan was supported by Democrats and Republicans. All were wrong. So many dead and wounded, and so much money wasted. All to no end.

Let's hope the Leftist warmongers don't make the same mistake in Ukraine.

You stated that republicans have a different perspective? Do you have any evidence that support for the Ukraine in the West is dwindling ?

Not at all. I have given my opinion. The masses just haven't caught up yet. But I am sure they soon will. I've been way ahead of the curve on Afghanistan, Syria, Libya and now this. It's no different. The West will end up retreating with their tails between their legs as usual.

Ok Buck, when will the West retreat

When the US pulls the plug.

When will the US pull the plug

When it loses interest or decides that its priorities lie elsewhere.

When will it lose interest or decide that it’s priorities lie elsewhere ?

When Trump gets re-elected

Probably sooner than that, given the midterms tomorrow.

Probably? I thought you were ‘ahead of the curve’ ??

Under Biden the US economy is in a mess. Like our own beloved government he has massively overspent. Inflation is high, interest rates are having to go up. A recession looms.

Biden's pigacy extends to his support for Ukraine. He has given them more in aid than the entire annual Russian military budget.

The Republicans have a different perspective on America's strategic interests, and against the backdrop of a flailing economy will ask more questions about why they are getting bogged down in a war that's irrelevant to their interests. Even the Democrats seem to be concerned that Zelensky is an ingrate who's making no effort to compromise.

I see. 6 months, 12 months, 18 months? When will the west stop supporting the Ukraine ?

How do you see the war in Ukraine concluding? How long are you prepared to support it for? Twenty years? What will be left?

I don’t know, you are the one who is ‘ahead of the curve’

So basically you have no plan. It's just war without end. "

It will end when Russia is defeated , however I think they will be given the chance to save face, maybe Ukraine will agree to a fair independence referendum in certain regions

I get the feeling this starts to end if/when Putin is toppled from the inside. I think that's what the West is hoping.

I think it is very unlikely Donald Trump will win enough primaries to win the candidacy.

I was hoping this too but from listening to lots of radio interviews with people that know a lot more about these things then I do and reading quite a lot it seems to be it does go further than Putin so I guess it's the whole Regime the needs bringing down.

Tim Marshall wrote a book called “prisoners of geography” a few years ago which will give you a pretty good idea of why Ukraine is important to both the world’s grain supplies and why the Russians fear being invaded from it. There is also another aspect to the Russian invasion of Eastern Ukraine which is that there are big reserves of rare earths and minerals there which the Russians want to control as they have lost out to China in much of the rest of the world. So no I think if you follow the money this one will run and run until Putin is capped by his own because he can’t win, even with Iranian drones or battlefied nukes

Just trying to get a simple answer to a simple question. It's v odd you can't give it.

The big lie Trump spread tht he supposedly won the election was incredibly damaging to your democracy. It will be incredibly damaging for future elections too if people believe him. Tht's why I think this is important.

So... again... do you think Trump lost the election? + do your Republican friends think he lost?

"PS I said what I thought would happen with Ukraine above. This is only getting so derailed because you won't answer a v simple question. It's a Ukraine vs Russia thread.

I gave my view on Ukraine + where I think it's going v the West further above. As I said.

PS it'd still be nice to hear you answer the big lie."

Maybe you should open a new thread on the current US political scene, which will be opportune given tomorrow's midterms.

It will no doubt give many participants in the forum an opportunity to comment on what they know about US politics (different variants of Orange Man Bad).

"So back on topic since the trump brigade loves to derail it. OP republicans will support Ukraine."

Yeah, but only if they tow the line.

That perfect phone call, would Ukrain be in the situation today, had those funds not been withheld?

To negotiate gives the green light to other countries suffering the same fate, then talk a way out to keep nicked land, grain, tractors and washing machines.

What happens when more washing machines are needed?

True you all fail to realize that our #1 trusted institution is our military. If the Pentagon says yes we need to help ukraine everyone else will fall in line to their assessment. So no worries on Ukraine.

"I think you know the answer to this. Anyway. He would not stop. He would go on to try and reclaim other countries which Russia had previously lost.

Not at all. I have given my opinion. The masses just haven't caught up yet. But I am sure they soon will. I've been way ahead of the curve on Afghanistan, Syria, Libya and now this. It's no different. The West will end up retreating with their tails between their legs as usual.

Ok Buck, when will the West retreat

When the US pulls the plug.

When will the US pull the plug

When it loses interest or decides that its priorities lie elsewhere.

When will it lose interest or decide that it’s priorities lie elsewhere ?

When Trump gets re-elected

Probably sooner than that, given the midterms tomorrow.

Probably? I thought you were ‘ahead of the curve’ ??

Under Biden the US economy is in a mess. Like our own beloved government he has massively overspent. Inflation is high, interest rates are having to go up. A recession looms.

Biden's pigacy extends to his support for Ukraine. He has given them more in aid than the entire annual Russian military budget.

The Republicans have a different perspective on America's strategic interests, and against the backdrop of a flailing economy will ask more questions about why they are getting bogged down in a war that's irrelevant to their interests. Even the Democrats seem to be concerned that Zelensky is an ingrate who's making no effort to compromise.

I see. 6 months, 12 months, 18 months? When will the west stop supporting the Ukraine ?

How do you see the war in Ukraine concluding? How long are you prepared to support it for? Twenty years? What will be left?

I don’t know, you are the one who is ‘ahead of the curve’

So basically you have no plan. It's just war without end.

Why do we need a plan? as far as I know none of us on this thread run the country or any Military units.

I feel this comment may make the Politics forum redundant."

Why? I thought the idea of the politics forums were people tyou discuss issues and debate things.

I wasn't aware we could only come in this section if we had actual solutions to every crisis.

You all can take whatever sources you read. Here both republican and democrats have Ukrainian support. I do not see that faltering. Too many houses with the US flag and Ukrainian flag flying everywhere. Fund raisers to support Ukraine. People giving up their old military gear or purchasing new ones for Ukrainian troops. It's political bluster you see on the news.

So it's being reported that the EU has failed to deliver €5 billion of the €8 billion in aid that it promised to deliver to Ukraine in May. Apparently the funds, which the EU is having to borrow to donate to Ukraine, are bogged down in internal arguments inside the EU. Surprise.

Maybe this is the best argument yet for staying in the EU, that even these wasters cant quite bring themselves to throw more borrowed cash down the drain on some border war between two corrupt countries.

They will do when it's too late and have to learn Russian.

Ukraine does not need to negotiate as it holds all the trump cards, not only against Putin but the USA as well.

Putins plan was very clear, gain Ukraine, then Moldova then the Balkans, once secured repeat in the North.

Any trade off of Putin retaining his regions would clearly be at the expense of the remainder being part of NATO, not something Putin would agree to.

Had putin's plan to takeover Ukraine in 3 days worked, we would be re-drawing the borders in Europe daily.

Zelensky clearly has support, if he didn't Putin would be walking through a lot more of Europe. If that support fails, best start Russian language classes.

"Is it time that the West started pressuring Ukraine and the comedian Zelensky to start negotiating a peaceful resolution with Russia?

The war in Ukraine has followed the usual pattern of pretty much every war that the West has got itself involved in for decades.

Initially it is presented as a simple battle between good and evil, black and white. Then slowly it becomes clear to the population that things are more complex. The war gets bogged down.

The MSM which will have played a big part in the initial warmongering gets bored and moves on to other issues, as does the public.

For months we have been bombarded with daily propaganda about Ukraine winning the war. Even the current mass evacuation of citizens from Kyiv is presented as a sign that Russia is losing.

Sanctions have been a massive own goal, causing economic devastation across the West, and particularly the EU with its disastrous energy policy, having turned itself into a Russian colony so it can posture about climate change.

Zelensky seems to make daily never-ending demands for more money and arms with a total lack of self awareness.

It's time to accept reality and push Zelensky into a peaceful settlement of his country's localised border dispute with Russia. If it means losing some land, mainly inhabited by people who want to live in Russia anyway, so be it.

No. Aggressive taking of land from a neighbouring country should never be allowed."

And who is going to stop America and Nato doing it ?

"What a day it was for ukraine, well done, the russians are retreating "

I don't think we should be complacent though. This is a victory but Russia doesn't allow Ukraine to have victories for long. Every time Ukraine has humiliated the Russians the following Monday Russia has reigned missiles over Ukrainian cities. It's a victory but there will be a big price to pay unfortunately.

That is right a good temporary victory too and we will see how it goes. I think that the russians underestimated them. I dont think the russians are equipped to win it.

They absolutely underestimated the Ukrainians and the West. Putin genuinely believed he would take Ukraine within 5 days. He can say all he likes he doesn't regret invading Ukraine but I guarantee if he could have his time over he wouldn't.

I understand that the USA and other individual countries have behaved purely on the past, but I'm not sure I understand your solution.

Do we need militarised, totalitarian dictatorships to balance out the democracies of NATO?

I've just seen this although Poland have admitted it looks like it was a stray missile rather than a targeted attack but still very worrying. I'm not sure nato will intervene in this directly but I think more sanctions will definitely happen and they are starting to bite.

At worst they could envoke article 5… attack on one is attack on all… I think this means Russia will stop missile attacks for a bit now and the question of the jets Ukraine wanted will come back up!!

Poland wants to give Ukraine their old Russian jets as long as they can get them replaced by the us for newer aircraft… that may be the retaliation!

Maybe. It's looking like from some reports but it was a missile that was intercepted by Ukrainian air defences that went of course. I do think this is an escalation because it goes to show other countries can accidentally get involved in this.

No there are no such reports.

One missile seems to have landed in farmland on the Ukrainian Polish border and reports are 2 people have been killed. Poland has ordered an urgent security council meeting but have admitted it is likely that this was an accident.

The pentagon is aware of reports but hasn't been able to verify anything yet. Let's not just spread false information.

There are also reports this could have been a Ukrainian Air defence missile that has gone wrong rouge. Those in power just need to stay calm and keep their heads and work out what exactly has happened.

I think the most likely thing to happen is for Poland to invoke article 5 and then demand a complete "No Fly " zone over Ukraine along with NATO enforcement of that no fly zone. For those that don't know, a no fly zone also includes missiles, not just aircraft. Russia will have no answer to that, because they hardly operate any aircraft in Ukranian airspace and all thier missiles will be shot down.

Well actually Jamaicans and Barbadians are almost the same, slight difference is Barbados is much smaller and has a more welcoming mood compared to Jamaicans. Anyways as Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union and spoke Russian (still do as well as Ukrainian) although with slightly different cultures and believes, I was just saying they are the same as to say they shouldnt be fighting each other at all. I see why you feel I was being provocative but honestly I'm not and will rescind my earlier comment.

All cool.

Worth knowing though that Ukrainian is a different language to Russian although it shares a similar etymology. Under the Soviet Union schools only taught in Russian. However, since the break up of the Soviet Union the Ukrainian language has made a come back.

I would say Ukrainians see themselves as distinct from Russians in a similar way to various Caribbean countries that were former British colonies do.
