The facts on the ground went almost 180 degrees the opposite direction of the prognostications in the OP.
Just like the OP's life. LOL

You never NEVER negotiate from a position of weakness,...not unless you want to get totally rolled like a fool. But that is exactly where we find ourselves now. Meanwhile Putin can negotiate from a position of strength because he has what he wants now. He is in Ukraine now and controls its fate totally. If he chooses to he can grind it into the dust if he wants to,...He can do whatever he wants.
He looked at the sanctions, laughed at them, and told us to go fuck ourselves and he would do as he wanted. THAT is the reality of it all. Now if we want him out of Ukraine we will have to give away the farm because he is already there with no reason to leave,...he is the one dealing from a position of strength. With China's full support I might add. So what is the answer? Go to war over it? Is that what you idiots want? The answer is we are FUCKED now. Its too late. We will have to bend over and give him everything he wants to get him out, all his wish list on a silver platter....if were lucky enuff to get him to take the deal at all. That......or go to WAR. A stronger better administration would have sorted this out well BEFORE the invasion happened. A smarter administration would have brokered a deal well ahead of time that would have been tolerable to all parties involved. But no,.....instead we get this total humiliation brought on by a bunch of fucking dummies running DC. Now live with. Nothing we can do now,... too late.

Whats wrong in my post. Point it out and show FACTS to disprove it.
Meanwhile Putin can negotiate from a position of strength because he has what he wants now.
He is in Ukraine now and controls its fate totally.
If he chooses to he can grind it into the dust if he wants to,...
He can do whatever he wants.
Do you really want to stand by this assessment? -->
Says the wanker whose claims of Russian defeat already have littered the forum for weeks.
You might well be headed for Humiliation Corner along with the Brit maggot.
Putin can negotiate from a position of strength because he has what he wants now.
He is in Ukraine now and controls its fate totally. If he chooses to he can grind it into the dust if he wants to.
Hey can do whatever he wants.
we are FUCKED now. Now live with it.

NATO is larger, stronger, and more unified than anytime in it's history.
Ukraine, a second rate European nation, has fought a world military superpower to a standstill.
If Russia, China, Iran, and North korea decide to work in concert with each other, something that could VERY easily happen BTW.........We are in real trouble. 2 outcomes.....A whole new world "not a good one" ,...or no world at all.
Well Field Marshall Stone, NATO is more united than it's ever been in it's history, NATO is adding new member states, a second rate European nation has fought the supposed military superpower Russia to a standstill, and China is probably viewing Russia's failure to conquer Ukraine and taking it into account in it's Taiwanese calculations.
Nope. But Joe Biden sure is. Right now on this VERY DAY Joe Biden has our country buying oil from Russia! Right now TODAY. And LOTS OF IT. Talk about a Putin Cock sucker. Thats almost as bad as someone giving billions of dollars of American military hardware to the Taliban! Oh wait, that actually happened!!! Whats next for an encore,....giving our nuclear codes to the Chinese?
Putin saw the sanctions, laughed his ass off, told Joe to go fuck himself,...and then invaded anyway. Going badly?
He controls most of ukraine already. Furthermore,...the fake news MSM wont be able to hide it much longer.
if that's true, what does it say about Joe being willing to withhold aid from Ukraine to prevent them from investigating his family?........There is no hyperbole there, Stone. Please realize that. Trump was willing to withhold aid from Ukraine in order to get dirt on Joe Biden's family...and that indicates a willingness to HELP Putin in a long held desire to reclaim Ukraine for what he sees as the future return of the USSR.
C'mon!
to be fair, both those links predate the ban......the real problem is we import refined products from India and India still imports Russian crude.......no way to identify which crude has become which refined product.......the bottom line is the ban hasn't worked, as the war is still going on......
Russia is not in good shape. They are running out of equipment,. weapons, ammunition and man power. Its doubtful just how much longer they can continue.
why hasn't Biden done anything....well, anything beyond telling Putin he would ignore a "mild incursion" that is......
If Trump was President Russia would have never attacked Ukraine. Biden's debacle in Afghanistan embolden Putin.Wouldn't you consider the billions of dollars of military equipment, something? Without this investment, Ukraine would be under total Russian control.
Then, Biden never, never told Putin he would ignore a mild incursion. Its amazing what a fucking liar you are.
