:lol: yea that’s what I figured.
Why hasn’t this already happened?
The Putin apologists are all the same with muh NATO expansion.

1. Ukraine had no realistic or imminent path to NATO membership before the invasion, making the “threat” an invalid pretext to invasion.

2. NATO is a defensive alliance with no history of aggression toward Russia; expansion was driven by Eastern European nations seeking protection from Russia, not the other way around.

3. Putin’s invasion stems from imperial ambitions and fear of Ukraine’s democratic example, not NATO expansion, as evidenced by his earlier actions without NATO triggers.

There’s your history lesson.

This has entirely too many risks.

To encourage a more representative democracy, we should implement universal mail-in with drop boxes, automatic registration, and same-day voting.

You are out of line here.

Haven’t we reached the point where this does more harm than good?

I grow weary of these types, and both parties have plenty of them.

Question: why has the Ukraine never put forward a piece plan for us to pick apart?
Well done.

What are your thoughts on the 28-point peace plan?

Most here don’t even realize, at the time Oswald was killed, the CIA had been opening his mail for the past 4 years. It was opened, copied, and re-sealed so he would never know it. The contents were forwarded to James Angleton for his eyes only.

Oswald was one of only 300 some odd Americans who were under this special surveillance.

Angleton lied about it to Congress several times, but that didn’t come to light until after his death in the 1987.

It's funny you critique this plan... but rebut not a SINGLE POINT within it. You wanna armchair this, do it right.
I rebut all of it. That should be clear from my OP.

ANY Secretary of State operating objectively would demand, at a minimum:

1. Russia withdraws to 1991 borders (including Crimea).

2. Ukraine receives $500B+ reparations paid solely from seized Russian assets and future energy revenues.

3. Ukraine gets permanent Article 5-equivalent defense pact with US/UK/France/Germany/Poland the day Russia leaves (but no NATO membership for 10 years.)

4. All Russian war criminals prosecuted by international tribunal; no immunity, no amnesties.

5. Russia demilitarizes 300 km from Ukraine’s border and is capped at pre-2022 force levels.

This should be the starting point.

Rubio needs to read Trump’s Art of the Deal, apparently.

Odd how you'll toss your messiah under the bus if that what it takes to also throw shade on Trump.

No cow is too sacred, huh?
I have no political messiah, unlike you.

Cults of personality blind voters and are responsible for the gridlock in politics. Both sides are guilty of it.
Trump was willing to show strength with Iran and it paid off.

The fact he cowers to Russia is embarrassing, and indicates something else is afoot. That’s my take, anyway.
It’s already been discussed here.

How old would JFK be today?
Obama and NATO are as responsible for Russia’s 2022 invasion as anyone. They failed to properly counter Russian aggression in 2014 and Putin is only going to take advantage of the West. Again.

Rubio is already going out of his way explaining the proposal. I always said he was one of the smartest cabinet members in this administration, but this “plan” shows he is kowtowing with no independent analysis. Now he’s claiming “this is just the starting point.”

No peace plan can ever succeed without Ukraine’s endorsement. And I wouldn’t even concede this is a reasonable starting point if I was Z.

Who feeds us this stuff on social media is what we should be asking.

Sensationalist headlines with bare facts designed only to enrage you and keep you mad at “them,” whoever “them” is…
