So hoping this happens.
This already sounds like a joke.This is great news, I hope it happens. If Biden can achieve stability in the Ukraine it will have long reaching effects on the economy and prevent needless loss of life. This would have a huge impact on his approval ratings as well.
Nice job Mr. President no make it happen!
President Joe Biden has accepted “in principle” a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in what could represent a last-ditch effort at diplomacy over tensions surrounding Ukraine and a possible avenue to avert a looming invasion directed by Moscow.
Jen Psaki, the White House press secretary, said Sunday evening that the summit between the two world leaders would happen following a meeting between Secretary of State Antony Blinken and his Russian counterpart, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. That meeting is scheduled for later this week.
Psaki noted that the agreement is conditioned on Moscow holding off on an invasion.
Biden agrees to meet with Putin 'in principle' if Russia has not invaded Ukraine

I guess the world leaders learned nothing from dealing with Hitler prior to WWII. Appeasement doesn't work in just emboldens the corrupt and Putin is corrupt. If the democracies of the world give in to Putin, it's just the first step in more demands to come. At some point the free world will have to stand up, and If Joe Biden isn't strong enough to do that he's just "kicking the can down the road" as our politicians like to say.This charade is pointless. Putin hasn't moved his demands one inch. The abandonment of current NATO member states is a total nonstarter and Putin is either procrastinating hoping Ukraine's President will crumble from the emotional pressure or Putin merely faking it while looking for a red flag operation that US intelligence hasn't exposed before it's launch date.
In theory March 15 is the beginning of the mud season, so he knows it's probably essential to launch an attack by March 1st. Either that or wait till the summer.
Frankly, if news breaks that tonight or tomorrow the Russian tanks are rolling, I'd not be the least surprised.
And here are the comparisons with Hitler have arrived)))I guess the world leaders learned nothing from dealing with Hitler prior to WWII.

I've got no problem with talking, I have a problem with giving in and showing weakness and calling it diplomacy. "Peace in our Time" declared Neville Chamberlain after his meeting with Hitler in 1938. The truth is Chamberlain met with Hitler 3 times in 1938 and each time he gave in a bit more and by the 3rd meeting, which took place in Munich, the deal was sealed. Hitler got exactly what he wanted and Chamberlain made his declaration of "peace in our time". It lasted only a short time as Hitler invaded Poland in 1939, almost exactly a year after the Munich Agreement. Some will say this kept peace for another year but that's not really accurate, war was coming because it was Hitler's intention all along and he appeasement of the Munich Agreement gave Hitler another year to continue his military buildup.
So hoping this happens.
Those arrived in 1933. They continued until 1945. Now we just refer to history, facts that give us lessons in what to do and not do. Learn from history. Try reading some.And here are the comparisons with Hitler have arrived)))
We don't have troops in Ukraine, we have some troops in NATO nations. We shouldn't give int to Putin. He's a thug, a bully and he'll do whatever we let him. He doesn't want a shooting war with NATO. That's not winnable, he's far too outnumbered. He's going to make demands and see what he can get. Thus the Hitler appeasement episode. The Western Democracies in Europe didn't want a war so they convince Czechoslovakia, to surrender land to Hitler, convinced the French to withdraw their pledge to defend the Czechs, and by the 3rd meeting Hitler had all he had planned for up to that point. They war was still in the planning and he got another year to complete his Blitzkrieg plans for Poland. While the world sat and watched he continued to militarize pretty much unchallenged.We need to pull our troops away from Ukraine and Russia needs to do the same. Let's get on with it.
With Germany speaking up has put another serious dimension into this foray ........
Has Sleepy apologised for Russia missing six invasion dates so far ?
What happened yesterday , Sleepy ?
Is your intel coming from that wag of a son that you have , Sleepy ?
Tell him to concentrate on his crap paintings .He will need the loot for lawyer's fees when they come to take him away .
Citations please. You seem to not recognize the difference between the words "could" and "shall". Another hopelessly bad effort. I cannot even call this one a nice try as what Biden actually said has already been addressed in this thread.Has Sleepy apologised for Russia missing six invasion dates so far ?
