That was me, undisturbed and unmoved by propaganda msm.

These things don’t take 2 seconds.

The hard woke argue that Putin is unpredictable and mad.

Then in the next breath they want to send arms and rockets to his opponents to make him angry and escalate stuff.

Just a bit of a contradiction…a tad incongruous and confusing.

And unrealistic.

Zels has to chill and talk turkey.

Sure... but tell me more about Trump playing golf while these things are escalating.

It's a little like Nero (Trump) fiddling while Rome (Ukraine) burns - not the stuff of someone who allegedly is really really trying to bring peace, rather than just the photo opportunities.

He can’t hide under a rock until they reach a decision.

He’s got a country and most of the free world to think about and manage.

Even Albo needs to chill sometimes.

Recharge the batteries.

Zelensky is defending his borders and his country from a tyrant.
I just don't get what part of that you don't understand.
He is looking after his people.
Europe, by supporting him are protecting their security from another Hitler.

He can’t and won’t win this conflict because the Ruskies are too determined and too powerful.

Whatever his intentions are, human lives are more important.

Europe is skillfully morris dancing around the issue.

Zelensky is conscripting people into his army. They are the ones doing the fighting.

It’s tough on these people to fight in a war they don’t want and don’t need.

The earlier the settlement the better.

It’s a question of what they need to give up. Land that in all likelihood, they probably don’t own as individuals anyway.

And I’d be happy to take in more ukkies. Hard working and resourceful like the vast majority of Vietnamese, Indians, poms, Irish, nzers…etc etc.

 

[Suitman]

Omg.

 

[Matty Bhoy]

Using the same logic the Soviets should’ve rolled over when the Wehrmacht were at the gates of Moscow and saved all of those lives.

So it sounds like Trump's got no role in them reaching a decision at all... and his involvement is probably entirely superficial, or dare we say self-serving for the photo opportunities?

seek help

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

seek help

I didn’t say they were the only ones.

But nonetheless, It’s not a good thing to be conscripted to fight the Ruskies.

I can think of lots of things I’d rather be doing, such as trying to bring some sanity to this discussion, some distance away.

All the hawks here, that’s all noble and good, but it’s fictitious nonsense.

There will be a settlement and the minority view here made manifest.

I am not a Trump fan - but don't doubt that he would like to bring peace between Russia and the Ukraine, however, I don't think he is smart enough or willing to work hard enough to make it happen

Well that remains to be seen.

People here being nasty about him even trying.

They’d be the first to criticise him if he wasn’t trying too.

And Willis says I need help?! Tsk tsk.

Dude, Russia invaded Ukraine... Russia are the ones fighting.

They arent going to go home TPM.

We’ve all known that for ages.

Have to be realistic to stop the war.

My Katter the Mad Hatter hat comes complete with Lebanese flag affixed to the front.

If I was Lebanese, I’d disown the bigoted senile vile f**ker.

He disgraced his cultural ancestry with his carry on.

Honestly, just stfu.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Honestly, just stfu.

You can say whatever you want.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

No doubt Putin is talking to the Chinese and Indians about his Ukraine action and hopefully they can help cut a peace deal.

 

[JohnStoppafarty]

No, I wouldn't have gone primarily because it was for a dud cause, aimed to achieve nothing concrete or realistic, and was backed only by people with limited intellect.

Yet here I am having my own little 1 man protest/march/rally (call it what you like, all the same to me) and here you are, very much in attendance. What were you saying about limited intellect?

Not a problem for me that coming to the same conclusion took you longer... more just a reflection on things, as per my comment immediately above.

Hahahahaha.

Hahahahaha.

But you'd already replied to the post of mine you just quoted... earlier today at post #29,978? Not sure what that points to in regards to intellect.

Your earlier reply went unanswered, and other topics are now being discussed. So you are having your own 1 man "call it what I like"... and I was not in attendance.

Durpdurpdurp.
