Russia gets to keep what they have annexed if they want, and Nordstream 2 gets repaired. Ukraine isn't going to go for that, seeing as they get pretty much nothing out of that other than the end of the war, which it is winning at this point. Russia gives up nothing here. Try again.

You post that government funding of NPR is some breaking-news gotcha. I pointed out that government funds NPR, including under Trump. This isn't a deflection. It's an infosmash of your assertion. And the news entities' reporting on the altered infoleak still trumps an unsubstantiated opinion, likely based on some conspiracy theory, even though the leak source is a 21-year-old MAGAtard with an agenda.

GobbleDog 989 Posted April 17, 2023 15 hours ago, Hardcore troubadour said: Russia blew up its own pipeline? They didn’t want to sell gas anymore? It's strange, but the theory is Russia mainly wanted to provoke pre-winter panic in Europe. The pipeline was shut down for a month prior to the explosion anyway because Russia said there were technical issues, the EU said that was a lie. Also Nord Stream 2 pipelines had never been used and immediately after the attack, Russia's energy minister offered Europe to get that pipeline up and running, which was declined. Putin also said the attack showed "any infrastructure in transport, energy or communication is under threat - regardless of where it's located" - which to some sounded like veiled threat. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What's so secrete about technology in a nuclear power plant? Nearly every country can run a nuke plant. Can't be too sensitive, they let the Ukrainians handle it. On the flip side... nuclear weapons inside a power plant? Does that mean building nukes or launching nukes? Either way, seems far fetched for the US to do that there and let Ukrainians handle it. Most likely nobody wants Russians running a nuke plant on Ukraine soil which could easily turn into an "accidental" bomb. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seriously doubt they'd actually attack Moscow and risk weakening Western support. But that counter-offensive could start any second now, or not for another month or two. Suspense on both sides as it's about to get a lot bloodier. Ukraine is pushing in all their chips. If the counter doesn't achieve amazing results, western support may falter ending any chance of re-annexing Crimea, and perhaps Donbass. A short-term tie still is a Ukraine loss. I think Russia's goal now is to weather the storm and hang on a few years. See who's U.S. President next and how the West feels about funding an old war with little results.

You're one of the few here whose insight for which I hit F5. I don't believe Russia wins the weather-the-storm thing, though. NATO is at a crossroads with this Russian aggresion, for which this crisis exist in the first place. We're not exactly suffering for what we've provided Ukraine. This is an ideological fight I'm of the opinion is critical for us to win. Expanionsim needs to be a thing of the past, and how about we just say let's just work together to not fock up the planet.
