Russia - threadbanned users in OP

God the details of the proposed peace deal with Russia are horrendous.

It's the equivalent of Hitler invading Poland, screwing up and getting bogged down, then trying to get a peace deal that will make it easier for him to invade the country properly in future.

I presume that this is a step in the EU weaning itself off Russia in terms of energy supplies. Goal #1 of the EU Energy Union when it was created was energy security.

Whilst i will never be conscripted to go and fight in Ukraine, I feel the overwhelming urge to vent via my keyboard that the appropriate response to this proposed "peace plan" is to tell Putin to print it out, roll it up very very tightly, and shove it up his hole.

The ****ing balls of this guy.

I accept that people are dying in Ukraine at present, and life overall is generally shyte, but the war is not going as badly for them as most expected. One would think that the longer it goes on, the worse it is going for Putin. In addition, giving in to this totalitarian asshole will only enable him in the future.

So, in conclusion, they should tell him to go and fuckski offski.

Putin doesn't want a deal and has no intentions of agreing to one. He want's Ukraine as part of Russia and control over their food resources and fertiliser output, not to mention chopping all their trees down to pay for this adventure. Only military defeat will get Russia out.

The US are playing a blinder in this war. It wont be reported on in any detail but somewhere in the bowels of the Pentagon there is a phalanx of military personnel who have their satellites trained on Ukraine and are watching the battlefield 24/7 and then relaying the intel of Russian positions back to the Ukrainian generals . The intel delivered from the US is the main reason why the Ukrainians are having such success against Russian forces. Without that live intel that the US are feeding Ukraine Putins plan of toppling the country within a few days would likely have worked.

Apparently that outburst was on the 10th March - He's attempted a somewhat grovelling apology since https://slippedisc.com/2022/03/just-in-boris-berezovsky-hastily-regrets-his-war-comments/

"I have formed my opinion in recent weeks consulting American and Western political scientists explaining to many that the West is also responsible for the current dramatic situation. This doesn’t mean I condone this war or any kind of war.

My undoubtedly naïve intention in participating in this show was to come up with possible solutions for this current drama to end as soon as possible. When I asked for the possibility of power cuts, my intention was to avoid the choice of bombs on Kiev and thus avoid an even more dramatic humanitarian disaster. But I was interrupted before I could finish.

So from now on I will remain silent on any questions that are not related to my art.

“When the cannons roar, the muses remain silent.” I should have followed this wise adage.

BORIS BEREZOVSKY"

Wouldn't trust the Russians with any deal to be honest.

What's stopping them getting their **** together and coming back twice as hard in a couple of years?

Ukraine needs NATO and EU protection most certainly. Its really really bizarre how Russia are playing as if they are the victim to the west.

That have been sanctioned back to the stone age and with good reason.

Yes Soviet era, but I believe has longer range than much of what Ukraine has currently

Switzerland and Finland are neutral and with national service, but they would also be difficult countries to invade in terms of their terrain. Ukraine, on the other hand, is mostly flat plain. Funnily enough, there are still reports of the Russian army having difficulty in some of that flat terrain, which leads onto my second point - the Russians won't want to leave Ukraine alone if this is truly a war about resources and Ukraine insist on leaning more toward the west. Going into the EU would only deepen Ukraine's relationship with the West. Therefore, the Russians would take a ceasefire period to reform their military and they could come back at Ukraine in a much more efficient way, learning from their previous mistakes. In short, I wouldn't trust the Russians as far as I could throw them. They've shown their nature. Ukraine needs some absolutely cast-iron guarantees of its safety, going forward, and that is an agreement that would need backing by hard force, i.e. NATO membership.

Zelensky should have reminded the US viewers about Putin's "potty mouth". That would have got the WASPs a-buzzing.

Has a spokesperson from the People's Republic of Kherson commented on this yet?

It's only about 4 km from the city centre.

Well I wouldn't say it is all about resources. But an EU with trade deal for Ukraine for those resources has less reason for buying resources from Russia, Russia loses one of the holds it has on EU. The resources may not be extracted for a while but the licences to do can be sold now minus the finders fee...

If resources don't come into it, why has russian put so much effort into the southern front in an attempt to cut Ukraine off from the sea, instead of sending everything at Kiev and the regions around Crimea.
