  1. It simple. If it was not Ukrainian territory then Russia didn’t have to invade.

    If they are confused, the Russians can look at their own maps at the time they agreed upon the territorial integrity in all several treaties, memorandi (Budapest), acts (Helsinki), and charters (UN-2). The Russian may not like it and occupy parts and terrorize the rest of it, but that doesn’t make it theirs.

    2026 Nobel Peace Prize nomination deadline is January 31. That is what is driving Trump’s urgency.

    How can they end the war when Russia is not even at the table? They don’t even care, they just keep up the attack. Somebody should tell them.

  4. If Russia had bases, it assumes it had it under its domain. Although deplorable, this is the calculus of power. How will we stop the war if not actually at the current contact line? I am for Ukraine 100% but dont understand how this quagmire will end.

    If russia wants the region so bad why don’t they just take.. oh wait.. they’ve been trying that for a decade or so now. 

    Impotent army. 

  6. yes, and most 3 year olds don’t recognize their parents rules applicable to them de jure/facto either.

    has this failed comedian departed for israel on his private jet after getting most military aged men and the economy of his country killed already….?

    Fuck Russia and fuck Trump. Trump is a piece of shit, a scumbag, a pedophile, and definitely a Russian or Israeli asset. Somebody is blackmailing many of the US politician with the Epstein shit. I bet important information from the files are now erased by their puppets.

  8. Ukraine is Ukraine.
    Might sound obvious to you, but ~80-90% of russia and ~30% of US can’t grasp that concept.

  9. Note, he said Russian, not “under Russian control”

    Saying it wasn’t de facto theirs would be silly, however saying he rejects the premise that it’s natural Russian land makes sense
