    The US didn't interfere with squat. You tried saying that a few days ago, but it was Ukriane refusing (rightfully) to accept anything but russia's complete withdrawal and russia refused to talk if Crimea was on the table. I don't know where the US got involved here...

    So you’re saying the guy who was mediating the negotiations is a liar, and you’re basing that on what?

    if you do some research you’ll find that their economy didn’t take the hit that it was expected to. They are a failing state and have been since before the war. Trying to attribute it to the war is what is ignorant.
    Your logic is faulty. Just because it did not take the hit some politicians expected it to does NOT mean it did not take a hit. All the economic numbers show it has taken a hit. Russia even admits it.

    Sheesh.

    You are as bad as the liberals. Are you one?

    Stormshadows won't take down aircraft, though. I wonder if this is evidence of a newly provided long range AAM (like maybe AIM-120s - but it would take a LOT of work to get them to work with Russian-made radars) or some really, really clever MFers with MANPADS or doing some seriously well done "shoot and scoot" with a full sized SAM system.
    No, the russians are shooting down their own aircraft fearing they are stormshadows missiles. Its "friendly" fire. Iirc, they shot down four of their own aircraft over russia yesterday or over the last few days.

    Remind me who mediated the negotiations? But yeah, pretty much willing to say he is FOS. Ukraine and Russia will not be in a place to have meaningful negotiations for a while yet. Too many Ukrainians support pushing russia out at all costs and too few russians know what is going on and those that do don't want to fall out of a window.

    Naftali Bennet. they were in fact having negotiations but continuing a proxy war was more profitable.

    their economy has been in a decline over the long term anyway. Predictions were that their GDP would fall over 12% due to the weak sanctions and it didn’t. it fell 2% and is still higher than it has been in several recent years. if it makes you feel better to credit the war for that then cool, but at the end of the day their economy is still going down the drain just the same as without the war.

    It’s weird being called a liberal for not supporting the dems proxy war, while maintaining a stance similar to what Trump said in his town hall the other day. Just calling someone a liberal because they disagree without doesn’t make someone a liberal, or help you look smart.

    You are parroting a story from TASS that says the talks were preceeding wonderfully till the us stopped them. Phucking TASS the only agency with such reporting, excluding other Russian news reports crediting TASS which cites a Russian official.

    You are ignoring the words of the Man you cited that said France was on board, Canada and the UK wernt enthused they would work and the US was in the middle, skeptical but not against them.

    The talks were proceeding with the 2 sides not far apart but ended ended after Russian War atrocities were discovered.

    I dont disagree that the US may find it beneficial to have russia busy and getting beaten up, but the negotiations were not going to happen/get results no matter what the US said or did.

    The VAST majority want to fight to regain the occupied areas at all costs. Had negotiations conceded anything it would have been horrifically unpopular among voters and was not going to happen.

    It was like going into pawnstars asking for full MSRP on an item... just because a guy as they walk in says its not worth going in there if you want msrp, it doesn't mean that guy sabotaged the deal since it was never going to happen in the first place.

    For the record I didn't say you are wrong simply cause your source is TASS. I said you were proffering a position based on a less than credible news source citing a Russian official looking to hide war crimes while at the same time ignoring the direct words of the Man you cited who didn't say what you said he did.

    You failed yourself in fully researching the information. It's why multiple sources need to be researched on every piece of information. Nothing should be accepted ad fact till its verified.

    Falsehoods yet again.

    First, I did not call you a liberal. I asked if you were.

    Second, I asked that not because of your opposition to Ukraine but rather because of your persistent denial of facts that do not meet your narrative.

    This is worthless. You are welcome to the last word.

    We disagree on the SOME of the details of Ukraine. That's no reason to ignore him.
