Russia 'has gone all in': Does Putin have a way out of his war in Ukraine?

[iguanaman]

What an incoherent babble of a post.

So you are making up your own definitions of what war crimes are now? Why am I not surprised, you obviously have your own definition for freedom of speech so why not war crimes.

If you truly cared about the people of Ukraine, and I mean all the people of Ukraine , you would be supporting a negotiated settlement that takes into account everyones concerns and ends the war as quickly as possible. My guess is you won't and will be seeking to throw more weapons and involve more peoples from the safety of the otherside of the Atlantic.

The Ukrainian people have made the decision that they no longer will tolerate the domination of Russia and the result of Putin's misguided and reckless war is that they will fight to the death before capitulating. Any victory by the Russian army will be costly and fleeting and the Russian people will all pay dearly until they get the courage to cut the head from the snake.

The Russians can't win in Ukraine, in the same way you didn't win in Iraq and Afghanistan and they were easier targets. They can wreck the place though before they leave.

And no, not ALL Ukrainian people wanted to divorce themselves from Russia, You are that wrapped up the the shoddy MSM coverage that you cannot even understand that much.

You want to stay out of European affairs and start to hold your own criminals to account. The US is the cancer behind this and you are all wanting to throw fuel on the fires you are creating from the safe distance of the Atlantic ocean.

Confronting unprovoked aggression to a sovereign nation is the duty of all free nations. We did it with Hitler and the Japanese and we will continue to do it with Russia. We will do everything short of WWIII to help the Ukrainian's kill and maim as many of the Russian invaders as they can for as long as they wish to fight. They will reduce Putin's army to ruin and we will deprive him of the capital to rebuild it. That is the reality of Putin's situation.

Might be time to go back to our post WWII cold War stance with Russia

The Cold War: Containment​

By the time World War II ended, most American officials agreed that the best defense against the Soviet threat was a strategy called “containment.” In his famous “Long Telegram,” the diplomat George Kennan (1904-2005) explained the policy: The Soviet Union, he wrote, was “a political force committed fanatically to the belief that with the U.S. there can be no permanent modus vivendi [agreement between parties that disagree].” As a result, America’s only choice was the “long-term, patient but firm and vigilant containment of Russian expansive tendencies.” “It must be the policy of the United States,” he declared before Congress in 1947, “to support free peoples who are resisting attempted subjugation…by outside pressures.” This way of thinking would shape American foreign policy for the next four decades.

The Soviet/Russian tiger stripes haven't changed. Containment is now mandatory.
