Russia & Ukraine

[Cuddles]

Rule #1 applies but the Russians are signaling big changes to their plans in Ukraine:

It was assessed that after a month the Russians simply did not have supplies to continue fighting. This looks to be true considering Russia is saying it’s changing its focus to securing the gains in the east.

The question is, if the Russians do pull back, what does it look like and what will the Ukrainians do?

No deal, Crimea needs to be on the table as well as compensation. That's if the Ukranians are willing.

A worthwhile listen to three guys thinking out loud trying to figure it out from all points of view. Check your bias at the door, cause just the sight of them will put you in your we must circle the wagons mode of thinking.

Let me ask you something. Do you believe that Cuba has the same right to be a free and independent, sovereign country like you consider Ukraine to be, to have the right to decide which countries to have allegiances with, etc?

You do not reward terrorists.

I'm not. You may want to re-read that.

The "you" is not personal . Read it as "terrorists should not be rewarded"

Just so it's clear, I am of the position that Russians are the terrorists here and Ukraine should demand Crimea, Russian withdrawal from the east, and reparations to be paid as a condition for the end of hostilities. If the Ukrainians are willing to go the distance that is.

Terrorists? Interesting. Why not sons of Satan? Russia clearly has a problem with Ukraine, similarly like the US had an issue with Iraq, it's just that you don't know what that issue is or made a decision to call it lies/Putin's propaganda.

Absolutely.
