  • “The Ukrainians aren’t winners, but the Russians sure as hell aren’t winners in that environment.”
    Trump and JD Vance “really don’t care” about coordinating the Ukraine plan with American allies but their inaction won't threaten the Poles and the Baltics, says political scientist Ian Bremmer.

      @davereynolds Hawaii - a US territory since 1898 - became the 50th state in August 1959, following a referendum in Hawaii in which more than 93% of the voters approved the proposition that the territory should be admitted as a state. There were many Hawaiian petitions for statehood during the first half of the 20th century.

      Also, Ukraine is a sovereign nation and can teach the Ukrainian language and only the Ukrainian language ; it is their right as a free and sovereign nation. What if the USA decides to teach English and only English in their public schools, would Mexico or other Spanish speaking nations attack USA because their people are under attack or feel alienated ?

And quite a large part of Ukrainians speak Russian as a native language. It's not always practical to teach native languages in schools, for example in the US, but there are attempts all over the US to at least increase bilingual teaching, for example in Spanish, French, Navajo or Hawaiian and others.

      if you watched Ben Hodges videos and opinion, there is no point in wining if international law is left broken and a precedent is created.

Of course once the territory returned, hostages liberated, reparations paid, investments in Ukraine can take place, integration in EU and Nato will make ireversable the whole.

      Let's set this record straight: Ukraine declared itself to be a state without nuclear weapons, not to seek possession of, develop or acquire nuclear wespons already in 1990. This was ratified in 1991, by the Ukrainian Rada, when the Soviet Union disintegrated. Yet somehow it took until 1994 to agree to remove the nuclear weapons they had stated wasn't theirs, they didn't control, and thst they did not want. The US state department was so irritated they likened it to blackmail. So let's not fantasize about retaining weapons that weren't theirs.

It isn't mandatory. What the US has over there in Nato countries isn't costing anymore than what it would cost if the US forces were in the US.
    The land the bases are on is provided by the host county, rent-free. The troops get paid wherever they are. The equipment has to be maintained wherever it is. The training costs are the same wherever they take place.
    The "riding" on the coattails is pure BS. The US troops being there act as a deterrence to Russia. He can't force a country to spend more of their money (budget) on defense. It is after all their money.

Secondly, any failure to help Ukraine to "win" plays straight into Putins gradualist ratchetting takeover of the whole former USSR. It isn't a question of Russia "not winning". It's a question of Ukraine not losing. And Ukraine will never stop retaking Crimea, whatever the interviewee feels is "one of those things that happen".

      I agree. Agreements to help defend what is left of Ukraine won't be worth the paper they are written on if previous agreements are anything to go by. Few in Eastern Europe will feel reassured, and Russian interference in the political narrative of Europe will continue.
      The price in Russia is being paid by the average person and until they, or the Oligarchs, have had enough of Putin's regime this imperialist expansion will continue, in Europe, in Africa and in the Middle East.
      Russia is on the verge of losing this war. They are running out of the equipment to wage war. Within a year or two, their ability to wage war will be exhausted, and their economy will be in shreds. If we want to end this quickly, we should supply the Ukrainians with the equipment they need in the quantities they need and stop putting restrictions on how they should use it. Do that and Russia will cease to be a problem for several generations.
