The Rumor that the Russians intend to do a crushing summer offensive seem to be true as they watch the NATO army break down, with NATO casualties spiking.
The Ukraine ‘peace deal’ is proving to be a scam
- Thread starter Cypress
- Start date
Yep, which is why I think that if Ukraine doesn't make a peace deal now or very soon, they'll be losing a lot more land and soldiers.
NATO is almost certainly toast, as many of my grapevine predicted at the jump, but their refusal to bail out of this debacle now as it is clear that they have lost makes it all worse. But they refuse to face reality, they think that this is a stalemate, and that if they keep pushing then they will win, their minds cant process that the mighty West could lose against the Russians.
Yeah, it's pretty sad. The worst of it is that they're not even on the right side in my view.
The West is dying, and the American Empire is leaving.....whether we incinerate the planet on the way out has yet to be seen...but things dont look good at the moment.
Trump may have his flaws, but he at least seems a -tad- more cautious than Biden when it comes to escalating things with Russia.
Trumps Big Swinging Dick foreign policy makes things worse not better.
In the middle east maybe, but I still think he's doing better in Russia that the Biden Administration was. The Biden Administration did pretty much 0 diplomacy during the first 3 years of Russia's military operation in Ukraine. Trump isn't even 3 months in and he's done a bunch of talks. Yes, talks where it's clear that he's not yet willing to give Russia enough to make a peace deal worth its while, but like I said, less than 3 months so far. Let's see what he can accomplish in 3 years.
NATO casualties are spiking, by Trumps own measure he is failing.
Russian is in debt up its wazoo.They
What does diplomacy look like with a man like Putin who does not respect anything but himself and his vision for Russia?
He's at least trying to find a peaceful solution in Ukraine. NATO isn't just the United States- it's clear that many European elites have gone off the deep end when it comes to their ideas on how best to deal with the Ukraine war.
If he wanted peace he could have and should have taken America out of this war....instead he pretends that it is between Ukraine and Russia as he puts himself out there as an imaginary peacemaker and goes into a snit when Russia refuses to go along with the scam.
Absolute nonsense. Russia debt as a percentage of its GDP is only 14.9%. I don't know a single European country whose debt is less than 20% of GDP. Canada's is 108%, the United States is 122%.

And that is even before we talk about how Western GDP numbers have been massively inflated through financial sector hocus-pocus.Absolute nonsense. Russia debt as a percentage of its GDP is only 14.9%. I don't know a single European country whose debt is less than 20% of GDP. Canada's is 108%, the United States is 122%.

Again, this is nonsense. Russia had the presence of mind to create BRIC, now BRICS+, which is clearly an organization that is well adapted to the multi polar world that Russia, China and many others would like to encourage. A bit of info on its creation:
**
What are its origins?
The term was originally coined by Goldman Sachs economist Jim O’Neill in a 2001 research paper in which he argued that the growth of what was then the “BRIC” countries (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) was poised to challenge the dominant G7 wealthy economies.Russia was the first to call a convening of the four countries, a decision analysts say was driven by Russian President Vladimir Putin’s growing desire to create a counterweight to the West. Russia hosted the first official BRIC summit in 2009, and South Africa joined a year later by invitation from China, forming the five-country grouping that would persist for more than a decade.
The next wave of expansion came at the 2023 BRICS summit, with invitations extended to six newcomers: Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). All accepted except Argentina, after its newly elected President Javier Milei pledged to turn the country in a pro-West direction, saying that it would not “ally with communists.” Saudi Arabia has reportedly accepted the membership, but has delayed officially joining without giving detailed further explanation.

What Is the BRICS Group and Why Is It Expanding?
As BRICS grows in both membership and global sway, its expansion comes with divisions among its members old and new on how to set the stage for a revised world order.

As to the war in Ukraine, Russian politicians were all but unanimous in making that decision. As a matter of fact, Russia's Duma/Parliament was pushing Putin to recognize the Donbass Republics on February 15th, which Putin originally refused. It was only after Ukraine's military bombardment of the rebel Donbass Republics for 6 days that Putin finally relented and recognized them on February 21st, and only 3 days later did he finally decide that recognizing themwithout actually helping them fight off Ukraine's military would mean little.
I think we can both agree that Trump's not the best peace maker, but I continue to consider the fact that Biden's administration didn't even try. The bar in the U.S. had just been so low for so long that it's actually hard -not- to improve on the dismal statement of diplomacy that existed during Biden's time.
Hadn't heard of this hocus-pocus, but I certainly wouldn't be surprised.
