There. Resident WHO political commentators and gurus can knock yourselves out in here and conduct your endless bickering. All other threads will be locked.

It seems IOC's grand plan is to effectively surrender to two countries at once, one of them they're not even at war with, what a statesman!
Re: The Official Politics Thread (enter at your own risk)
I said it was a starting point from which you negotiate. Not giveaway everything you've got like your plan! You keep believing that Zelensky will give up territory and membership of NATO without concrete security guarantees - welcome to fantasyland!
So no actual plan you think will work. Let's keep 'em dying.
Zelensky is in the weakest postion of the parties in question, if he wants to honour his people's desire for peace, he will realistical have to give up the most.
(We have discussed security guarantees, having a the US with a massive imbedded presence and counting on your resources is a huge one. You pretend that is not a thing.)
Re: The Official Politics Thread (enter at your own risk)
As I keep saying Russia hand back the land they are occupying to Ukraine or NATA membership / Security guarantees will be provided. I suspect that Zelensky will want both. But the compromise is his and Putins to make as part of the ongoing negotiations - not sure why you are struggling to understand it!
You keeping saying that and keep asserting you live in a fantasy realm.
Russia wants neither of those options so they keep fighting.
Now what?
As unsavory as it sounds you will have to give up something to Russia to obtain a peace agreement. The alternatives are either war we (increasing Europe) keep funding or the European nations and maybe the US getting involved actively which sparks regional conflict or worse.

It seems Iyawnsofcanada, has all the fucking answers, what say we tell Zelensky baby to take a back seat at the next summit in the White House and insert the aforementioned, IyawnsChamberlain?
I'm sure he'll come out of the White House waving a piece of paper and announcing peace in our fucking time?

Why would Russia hand back the land they now occupy?
Re: The Official Politics Thread (enter at your own risk)
Just enter a Zen state, clear Trump from your mind...
Now without thinking of him or his country (visualise him being fully America First and taking all money and influence out of Europe)
Now present your plan for peace in the Ukraine.
Capitulation is not a Peace plan its a surrender!

Nag reminds us as to how we should learn from history and sometimes it seems to repeat itself.
Like Hitler and Stalin divided Poland to suit their aggressive needs, in September 1939, the carve up of Ukraine to suit the Putin and Trump needs is an echo from more than eighty years ago. This carve up, like the previous one mentioned, shows no consideration as to the needs and desires of the citizens affected and what is even worse is that neither of this nasty duopoly will feel any compunction in breaking their agreement.
Yes comma, let's repeat some history
1) Like the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, a modern deal between the States and Russia is a secret pact that no one in other governments and the press (and thereby the Ukraine citizens it affects) has heard of until well after it came into play...oh wait.
2) Like the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, this modern deal comes before any fighting started was not part of a peace structure to stop an existing, bloody war...oh wait.
3) (really the only one that needs to be considered) Like in the time of Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, the parties involved do not have nuclear weapons and thankfully those weapons do not change dramtatically the dynamic in enforcing a dissolution of such an agreement...oh wait.
So yes comma, carbon copy of the 1939 world power dynamic.
But I really do appreciate you letting us know the "needs and desires" of Ukranian people. Where did you get that information?
1) The most sure indicator would surely be elections, which Zelensky held when they were supposed to be both for president and parliament...oh wait.
2) But in the really strange case where elections did not happen, based on polling done in November of last year, 52 % of Ukrainians would not give up land to bring peace ...oh wait.

I don't think the likes of BJB should be taken seriously when it comes to anything related to Trump. The levels of TDS are so off the scale that the Americans could send their entire military to defend Ukraine and there would still be reasons to criticise the action. The most important question is this. Haven't enough people died already?

If we're talking about the majority of citizens in these occupied parts that don't want to be Ukrainian, and especially not European, then this carve up is exactly what they want.

The solution of those who are obsessed with hating Trump, seems to be the US just accept whatever Ukraine demand, defend them come what May, thus potentially starting WW3 against a country that has more nuclear weapons than anyone else on the planet.
I'm guessing they post on here asking for help when it comes to negotiating for their Sky package renewals...
