US State Dept. :The US officially has withdrawn as mediator in the Ukraine war.




No, you do not. You are the one who cannot, or will not reconcile the disconnect between your astronomical claims and the absence of what has to be the inevitable result



There is no doubt that Putin's disregard for human life of even his own people is mind boggling. Modern warfare is not compatible with Stalin's "Victory at any price" mindset. Charging Ukrainian positions over and over in meat waves with horrendous losses just is not an effective way to gain ground. Hoping Ukrainians will run out of ammo is not a military tactic it is madness.
 
Historical revisionism? Gee, you mean like how Ukraine tries to present devoted fascists and Nazi collaborators like Stepan Bandera as “heroes”? 🙄😂

As usual, blind denial can’t change the facts.
Bandera spent most of the war in a Nazi concentration camp because he dared to demand Ukrainian independence from the Nazi's. Russia hates him for that not his "collaboration". Meanwhile Putin is waging the 1st full scale war in Europe since Hitler invaded Poland with Russian help. Stalin was Hitler's biggest collaborator.

LOL Just because Putin is able to recruit 30,000 new troops per month to cover his losses does not mean those losses are not real.

At The Current Rate, It Would Take Russia Centuries And Tens Of Millions Of Casualties To Capture Ukraine

But that doesn’t mean Russian leaders aren’t committed to the war effort

Ukraine sprawls across 233,000 square miles, 19% of which is under Russian occupation. At the current rates of advance and loss, the Russians would capture the rest of Ukraine in the year 2256 at the cost of 101 million casualties. The current population of Russia is 144 million.

Incredibly, staggering losses in people and equipment haven’t yet crippled the Russian military in Ukraine. The Kremlin is equipping its forces with thousands of civilian vehicles, including scooters, compact cars and even at least one bus.



Meanwhile, it’s recruiting 30,000 troops per month, Gen. Christopher Cavoli, commander of U.S. Army forces in Europe, told U.S. lawmakers on April 3. Since many of the wounded eventually return to the front line, the Russian armed forces recruit more people every month than they lose.

Bandera’s followers gleefully began mass murdering the local Jewish populace practically from the minute the Germans crossed the border, and continued doing so— in full and enthusiastic collaboration with the Nazis— throughout the war.

The West admiring Nazi collaborators and devoted fascists is nothing new.

Still desperately trying to pretend the Yugoslav Wars never happened I see.

Nope, that would be the West, who still mourns Hitler’s defeat at Soviet hands to this day.

Gee, the fact Ukraine’s offensives have been complete failures, they’ve been constantly driven back again and again from supposedly “invincible” positions, their raids into Russia haven’t accomplished anything, and the much vaunted Western weaponry has likewise failed to break the stalemate, your narrative is truly laughable.

No one admired the Nazi's more than Stalin. He continued to supply the Nazi war machine right up to the minute Hitler invaded Russia. Putin is an admirer of Stalin too. Also the Yugoslav wars were a skirmish compared to Putin's poorly planned full scale invasion of Ukraine.

You fail again. This is a war of attrition and Russia's military has lost twice as many tanks as the US lost in WWII. Putin's has wasted his entire soviet stockpile on a peaceful farming nation. He has lost the war.

That’s clearly false, as the multiple divisions of Western SS recruits demonstrates quite clearly.

American businesses continued supporting the Nazis even after America entered the war.

The Yugoslav Wars were anything but a “skirmish”; thousands upon thousands of civilians were killed, and mass ethnic cleansing occurred.

The Ukrainians are struggling to keep their troops in the field at all. The wrecks of “invincible” Western equipment are far from uncommon across Ukraine, supposed “game changers” that failed to accomplish anything of the sort. Ukraine’s offensives have been failures for well over a year now, and no amount of blind denial can change that.

So when are you going to reconcile your astronomical loss claims with absence of collapse?
 
Really? All Trump did was to relay Putin's demands to Ukraine and now he has backed out of that. He also signed the minerals deal with Ukraine and won't get a bit of those rare earths until Russia is out of Ukraine. That means he needs to help Ukraine win this war quickly.
Was Mr Biden not that guy who also wanted Ukraine to win this quickly ?
What's going to change with Trump ?

Link us to Joe Biden making such a statement.

We shall see. Trump II has only been in office for a bit over 100 days.

By contrast, Putin has been Russian president for 25 years. The mark of a dictator.

How many years did Franklin Delano Roosevelt stay in power ?
Was he dictator too?
If I remark to you that all these years since his resignation , Mr Obama directed American external policy , will you call him dictator too ?
 
Was Mr Biden not that guy who also wanted Ukraine to win this quickly ?
No - he was not that guy. If he had been, he would have provided Ukraine with everything they asked for, including more advanced fighter planes.
What's going to change with Trump ?
Conventional weapon supplies, like tanks and howitzer shells for example, will dry up, and Trump will withhold military satellite intelligence, .... to name just a few things.

The US had no limit on terms when Roosevelt was in office.

Biden spent too much time hoping Putin would act rationally and metered out the weapon systems slowly to give Putin time to declare victory and go home. Hopefully Trump has realized that Putin will not stop this war unless he is defeated and he will send Ukraine the weapons they need to do it. Russia is on the ropes now and a burst of new weapons will put them out. If Trump wants those rare earths he will need to defeat Russia first.

No FDR was one of our greatest Presidents so good that he was elected 4 times. Dictators kill or imprison their competition like Putin does. They stay in power because no one dares to oppose them or they fall out of windows.
 
Seems like Trump might not make the 24 hour deadline he gave himself to end the war in Ukraine at this point.
 
It's official. Not only has the war not ended in 24 hours or 100 days but the US will no longer act a mediator in any talks between Russia and Ukraine. More Trump winning...actually this is a very good thing we did nothing but relay Putin's unreasonable demands to Ukraine anyway. If Trump wants those minerals anytime soon he knows what he must do. Send Ukraine what they need to win this war and then send some more.

US pulling out of Ukraine-Russia peace talks after mineral deal

State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce said Thursday, May 1, that the U.S. will no longer be the “mediators” in these negotiations. She added that the methodology of how the U.S. contributes to peace talks will change.

Bruce said the administration remains committed to ending the war and will do what it can but will no longer “fly around the world at the drop of a hat to mediate meetings. She added that these negotiations are “now between the two parties,” adding, “now is the time that they need to present and develop concrete ideas about how this conflict is going to end.”


“It’s going to be up to them,” Bruce said.

What war???

Our KING brought that war to an end on DAY ONE!!!

Remember???
 
So then, you cannot link to Joe Biden saying what you claimed he said in Post #87 above.
Before asking for the link to Joe Biden saying ... you must reread my post and find the statement about "Joe Biden saying anything".
If I write that "Joe Biden WANTED Ukraine to win this war quickly" that does not mean he said or promised "Ukraine to win war this quickly" and that certainly does not mean that I made claims like that.
You can estimate yourself the strength of his desire of "Ukraine to win war this quickly" by his actions: his sanctions, his anti-Russian campaign, his pushing for UN to adopt all kinds of anti Russian resolutions.
Russian disinformation.
So actually I don't understand what are you calling the "Russian disinformation", but of course any disinformation has some Russian flavour inside, since the word "disinformation" itself was invented by Russians.

I don't think Russia invented propaganda but they certainly did spend 75 years perfecting it. Too bad lies can't win wars.

Do you understand this simple fact the most of your posts represent pure propaganda with unclear goals ? You accuse Russians of "perfecting propaganda" while pushing and disseminating propaganda yourself ?
It is ridiculous but you don't even make an effort to understand what is the subject of the other posts you are reading....
