“The Russian people have a high degree of apathy when it comes to Putin.”

Putin’s grip on the Russian people is vulnerable to just “snapping” as they wake up to impacts of oil shortages, says former US special envoy to Ukraine, Kurt Volker.

Stop thinking Trump is ever on Ukraine’s side. It’s foolish and deadly to think this way.

Witcoff doesn’t want an American interpreter because he doesn’t want a record of his corrupt dodgy deals.

If Russia crumbles and can't support the war, it shouldn't be a ceasefire, Russia should leave and have a large reparation debt. They should gain nothing.

I like Kurt Volker, a calm, kind, and thoughtful man. It's sad though, that Ukraine being "reaaonable," now includes normalization of RuZzia occupying stolen Ukrainian people and land. Glory to Ukraine and the good people who defend her! ❤

There's no negotiating with Putin and Russia. We have to get it through our heads that Russians only understand brute force. Understand this or else it will be rough sledding.

Why would any European country purchase weapons systems from the states if they ever have to defend against Russia?
The US has shown their loyalty to Putin in Ukraine, so why give them veto power over your defense weapons?

Ukraine could be Europe's biggest defence provider

Still don’t understand why Ukraine should concede anything to the warmonger. Russians should stop the aggression, withdraw from all conquered Ukraine territory, and hand over Putin to the Hague for trial on war crimes.

Does anyone remember the long trail of world leaders beating a path to Putin's table asking him to not invade, for weeks before andcright up to the invasion, only to be told to their faces "We're not going to invade"?

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Stop normalizing Trumps attempts to negotiate with Russia. Negotiations have not been strong and yet we forget just how much Trump caters to Putin. We all know something is wrong with the Trump / Putin relationship now don’t we? I call Trump a Russian Asset

We keep giving Trump the benefit of doubt, more than he is entitled to. Is it not clear that he is really onside with Russia, most likely arising out of compromise and or collusion?

I think Volker is being very kind in his assesment of Trump

No such thing as peace talks. It's just divide and conquer tactics. Putin wants Ukraine so that he can leverage Europe on everything.

@velisvideos6208 9 months ago

Is this real? Guys like Volker talking about what we should do to engage and talk? We need to hit hard against the russians in Ukraine! It's that simple. Jeesuus...

Just like for the 'imminent demise of Trump', the end of Putin is something I'm looking forward to. Still, I'll believe it when it actually happens. Until then it's only wishful thinking.
