Of course, this is all your fault for not giving Ukraine all they wanted, except for the hundreds of billions in arms, weapons, and straight up cash. Strangely, I’m not seeing this in US Credentialed Media outlets, just Politico Europe
Ukraine lacks might to retake occupied territories, Zelenskyy concedes
Ukraine currently doesn’t have the military strength to retake all the territory Russia has occupied since 2014, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told French daily Le Parisien on Wednesday.
But that doesn’t mean Kyiv is about to recognize its Moscow-controlled lands as belonging to Russia, he added.
“Legally, we cannot give up our territories. This is prohibited by the constitution. But let’s not use such big words. Russia actually controls part of our territory today,” Zelenskyy said in response to a question as to how far Kyiv is prepared to compromise to end the war following Moscow’s February 2022 full-scale invasion.
“If today we don’t have the strength to win back all of our territory, maybe the West will find the strength to put Putin in his place … at the [negotiating] table and diplomatically deal with this war,” he added, while again lamenting that Ukraine would be in a different situation today had the West given Kyiv all it asked for earlier in the war.
Yeah, sorry Vol, the US will not be getting in a shooting war with Russia over Ukraine, especially with how you have all those neo-Nazis, cancelled elections, go after Christian churches, tons of graft, and, really, it’s a shady nation that means little to US security. And, what else did you want us to give you? What weapons would have let you do anything?
On the other hand, Zelenskyy said, Ukraine will never recognize its occupied territories as Russian. “This is not about compromise. This means he [Putin] will get away with everything again. This is impossible.”
Yeah, well, that’s nice, but, unless Biden is interested in starting WWIII with a month left, maybe it’s time to settle before you lose it all.
That said, is Putin willing to deal with Trump to end the conflict? The one that would have never started if Biden hadn’t been so weak?
Putin says Russia is ready to compromise with Trump on Ukraine war
Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that he was ready to compromise over Ukraine in possible talks with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump on ending the war and had no conditions for starting talks with the Ukrainian authorities.
Trump, a self-styled master of brokering agreements and author of the 1987 book “Trump: the Art of the Deal”, has vowed to swiftly end the conflict, but has not yet given any details on how he might achieve that.
“We have always said that we are ready for negotiations and compromises,” Putin said, after saying that Russian forces, advancing across the entire front, were moving towards achieving their primary goals in Ukraine.
“Soon, those Ukrainians who want to fight will run out, in my opinion, soon there will be no one left who wants to fight. We are ready, but the other side needs to be ready for both negotiations and compromises.”
I guess we’ll see. An end to the war will make many upset, especially those in Congress, both D and R, who are making a lot off the war.

The weak-willed Putin apologist, Mr Teach, would hand Ukraine to America’s foe, Russia. If Putin stooge, Big Donnie, had pushed for Ukraine membership in NATO, the invasion wouldn’t have taken place. Putin helped Donnie get elected. Twice. Putin loves the weak-willied Trump.
Well, “interesting” may be the wrong word.
Bwaha! Lolgf Losers!
MAGA47-Daddy’s Coming Home Soon
Talk about changing the subject.
President Zelenskyy said what we’ve all known all along, that the Ukes could not beat Russia, could not push the Russians out of their country. Yes, they’ve managed to achieve a stalemate, one that neither side can seem to break, but Ukraine is at a manpower disadvantage.
Russia did not invade until Joe Biden was in office, and Mr Biden has been very supportive of Ukraine, but with all that the US and NATO have sent the Ukrainians, they can’t break the stalemate. I’ve said it before: there is no way for Ukraine to defeat Russia unless the US and NATO send troops to fight the Russians on the ground. Does the distinguished Mr Dowd advocate that we do that?
The United Kingdom and Republic of France bravely declared was on Germany after the Germans invaded Poland. But they sent no troops to Poland, sent no aircraft to fight the Nazis, and the effort to liberate Poland from the Third Reich was achieved not by the UK or France, but by the Red Army rolling through. Of course, Poland then became a vassal state of the USSR, so ‘liberation’ of Poland is a bit of a misnomer.
When the war started in Ukraine, there was no way to anticipate that Israel would soon be engaged in a war with Lebanon, Houthi, Syria and Hamas…not to mention doing direct air strikes on IRAN. Nor would anyone have imagined that North Korea would embark on an expeditionary adventure while threatening South Korea who then had an attempted Coup on its own government.
The loss for Russia in Syria and the beat down of IRAN along with its proxies in the Middle East was a staggering blow to PUTINS ambitions.
Now, let’s add the fact that two more countries who had been neutral have joined NATO in the interim, and while Germany is suffering economic turmoil, it is increasing its defense budget almost twofold.
And then there is France and the UK, who are sending Laser weapons and ballistic missiles to Ukraine, and still, the small country(Population) is barely holding on and inflicting mass casualties on the Russians.
Listening to Putin speak, he is ready for peace talks, and so is Zelenskyy. The one tidbit from the above words of PUTIN is……….. “Soon, those Ukrainians who want to fight will run out. In my opinion, soon there will be no one left who wants to fight. We are ready, but the other side needs to be ready for both negotiations and compromises.”
IF you remember Zelenskyy was ready to compromise very early on and Boris Johnson of the UK went to him and told him Fuck no. No doubt offering all kinds of aid and weapons.
Rapidly. Zelenskyy referred to this in the above tidbit…..he added, while again lamenting that Ukraine would be in a different situation today had the West given Kyiv all it asked for earlier in the war.
PROJECTION. But also a reality. Zelenskyy and Putin both are running out of troops, not to mention Putin’s ability to wage war is vastly diminished. The only thing keeping him from being overrun is his 2000 nuclear warheads and a foe that is more depleted than he is and the west has no desire to send their boys and girls into the meat grinder.
Dowd there is so much wrong with this at so many levels…….

First of all, the Invasion happened under Biden’s presidency, not Trump’s. The first invasion happened under Obama’s presidency, Not Trump’s.
Secondly. NATO members agreed in 2008 that Georgia and Ukraine would join the alliance but did not specify when. Their admission depends on fulfilling certain criteria, including defense reforms. Both countries face Russian interference, ranging from occupation to active conflict.
It Requires Unanimous consent to become a member of NATO and Turkey has said all along they would never agree to Ukraine becoming a member of NATO since Turkey since their COUP has climbed in bed with PUTIN and in fact many of their arms are now Russian.
I understand you are just trolling Dowd. But seriously, Why didn’t Obama or Biden invite Ukraine into NATO since there were 12 years of them as prez but only 4 years of Trump, who spent his entire term defending impeachments and investigation by Mueller and a hostile Establishment, Uniparty RINO Republican party and a Democrat party who wanted to imprison Trump for mean tweets.
You offer Trump too much power. Power is often what people think you have, not what you actually have….Saul Alinsky. Rules for Radicals.
The Left will start WW3 and burn the world down rather than give up power.
We all know the Globalist EU/Davos/IMF/NATO crowd started this war by interfering in Ukrainian politics even before 2014’s color revolution and CIA coup.
We all know that the Russians would not tolerate having NATO missiles pushed up to their border any more than the US allowed Russia to put missiles in Cuba.
We all know the puppet Ukrainian government started genociding the ethnic Russian population in the Donbas well before the Russians invaded.
We all know the US crippled their own allies by sabotaging the Nordstream pipelines, just so we could sell them LNG.
We all know Ukraine was the hub of US funded bioweapons research and money laundering of US taxpayer dollars to the Democratic party and extortion by VP Biden and his son Hunter.
The US is best advised to walk away from the Ukraine. Let Europe deal with it. We have no national interest in what happens there.
