Yeah, we shall see if they accept Russia's payment or if they declare a default. I will be anxious to see WTF they decide to do about Russia's payments.

I am sure they will allow it. The bankers that control everything will not want to miss out on their interest payment.

Anyone want to bet that Putin wants the whole east and won't accept anything less. This war is about natural resources plain and simple.

How does this work? They declare neutrality and some UN force or NATO or some other country moves in and points guns at Russia? How else would they trust a guarantee by a third party?

What's worse is this guy has been spreading nukes over the area in hopes of making it's defenses stronger. N. Korea's Kim vows to develop more powerful means of attack

Russia already has more natural resources than they know what to do with, unless Ukraine has something Russia does not.

So what reason does he have to keep killing people if Ukraine is willing to not join nato and adopt a neutral stance?

Ukraine has a lot of the same and Putin doesn't need them undercutting his sales.

So you see what happens is, billionaire oligarchs reach a point of wealth where they don’t want anymore money. Right? That’s how it works?

Solidify access to the Black Sea, punish those who defied him, warn others who might defy him in the future.

Going to be a cold winter in Europe...hope they save their CO2 credits for their wood burning stove...

Why doesn't Ukraine accept Russia's offer of a ceasefire? I think that is the question you are asking.

Toward the future instead of the past.

Sure seems like the 80's again

 

[Sandman 423]

because they are ridiculous. Why would any country give up it's ability to defend itself?

Zelensky isn't sitting down at the table wanting to negotiate a ceasefire. He's requesting more weapons and is likely stalling until NATO can come up with a reason to justify jumping in.

Has nothing to do with it. There is plenty for both. The problem in Ukraine is that you have Westen jackals and specifically politically connected families running that operation while keeping Ukraine as one of the poorest countries in Europe.

So they should fight to the last drop of Ukrainian blood?
