Lukoil Oil Refinery in Komi Republic hit....2000 kms inside Russia
I remind Chloe that Hitler had conquered and looted nearly all of Europe at one time and yet he still lost in the end.
Initial reports found that a flood began in the machinery compartment of the ship.
Personally that's what I think too. Somebody who knew what they were doing opened her up and down she went. And with that machinery comartment flooded, I imagine that's all the engines and electrics gone. Once those are immersed in salt water, as it would seem they are, well, that's a rebuild I guess. That ship ain't going anywhere for a few more years. Nice.Sounds like someone opened a seacock or a Kingston valve. I know I slam on the Russians but I can't imagine a new ship sinking on its own. Somebody had to have done something stupid here.
Or maybe it was deliberate.![]()
He did, but on the other hand, Hitler didn't have the rest of Europe behind him,
Hitler thrived while the world sat still—he lost only when the U.S. finally woke up. Now a draft-dodger thinks peace means gifting Putin the land he stole, handing him bragging rights while the ICC has a warrant out for his arrest.I remind Chloe that Hitler had conquered and looted nearly all of Europe at one time and yet he still lost in the end.

Zelenskyy can attend the Alaska meeting, but only from the cheap seats, while the invader and the felon play Nobel Prize theater. That’s not diplomacy—it’s appeasement with catering.
And the irony? Putin’s flying to Alaska—a land Russia sold in desperation after the Crimean War under Tsar Alexander II. Sold for pennies to keep it from Britain. Now the modern czar shows up, not to reclaim lost soil, but to carve up someone else’s. History keeps its receipts. It's too bad the felon doesn't read about history, or even the audio versions. He's blinded by the Nobel Peace Prize light shining into his eyes.
Arphy, your insight into Ukraine's plight is as dim as Trump's.
"In one day..."My eyes aren't clouded by TDS like yours are.
Like Trump I'd like to see an end to the killing. What you'd like to see happen is Trump failing and ignore the killing. Something which points out the flaw in your mental reasoning.
For those who don't actually understand what's going on, Trump is trying to mediate the conflict. Despite Putin's refusals and bad faith, Trump has gotten Putin to the bargaining table. That itself is a sign of hope.
Another thing about mediating disputes that you TDS riddled dipshits refuse to acknowledge; if the parties don't want to do anything except fight, it's not the mediator's fault. In this we can blame both Zelensky and Putin but Trump isn't part of that.
And most of Ukraine's natural resources are at present held or threatened by the Russians in the east.Hitler owned Europe and had all of its resources available to use. For all his cruelty, what he didn't count on was the ability of the people to resist and fight back no matter what.
Ukraine is in the same situation (as is Russia) but Russia is in a position where it still has resources it can tap. Ukraine doesn't have that except for NATO and the US and we're all running out of supplies/weapons/materials we can send without risking our own national security. Eventually the pipeline will dry up.
Arphy, I want to see an end to the killing, too—especially the innocent civilians targeted daily by Russia’s missiles and bombs. But unlike you, I don’t think peace comes from backing a draft-dodger who ignores those killings while chasing photo ops with a murderous dictator.My eyes aren't clouded by TDS like yours are.

Let's correct that misconception right from the start. Trump does not want to see an end to the killing. He wants to see the open battle postponed until after his Presidential term is over.Like Trump I'd like to see an end to the killing.

No, he's not. He's made concessions on behalf of Ukraine he is not entitled to make. He's sided with Putin and attacked Ukraine again and again.For those who don't actually understand what's going on, Trump is trying to mediate the conflict.

Whatever "solution" the USA and Russia may cook up doesn't actually matter in the long run. Russia may get the territory they covet on paper. the USA may be enabled to strip Ukranian natural resources, but as a minimum Russia is guaranteed a century of rebellion and insurrection. Think Ireland or Poland, the latter a country with no legal existence for 123 years after partition in 1772. Conventional military warfare may cease, but the conflict will continue. Politicians never understand the concept of civil insurrection and they always lose in the end. Bluntly, a long term running sore may be in the best interests of everyone else - except the Russians and Ukranians.Hitler owned Europe and had all of its resources available to use. For all his cruelty, what he didn't count on was the ability of the people to resist and fight back no matter what.

Should there be a ceasefire or some sort of imposed agreement, Russia will simply continue the killing inside the occupied territories until there are no Ukrainians left. Bucha and Kherson are evidence enough of that. What Trump would rather do is IGNORE the killings that he doesn't want to know about.
All the evidence points to Putin simplt using any ceasefire to rebuild the Russian Army and attack again, as he did in Chechyna. He has broken every agreement he has ever signed. Is Trump prepared to put the US Army on the ground, between Russia and Ukraine, with a committment to fight the Russians if they break any ceasefire or treaty? THAT is the only guarantee that would work. If Trump is not prepared to do that, he is simply guaranteeing that Russia will attack again from a stronger position in the near future, and the killing will resume with Ukraine at a greater disadvantage.
Again, there is NO WAY Trump can guarantee a ceasefire or a peace agreement that will last. None at all. He might want the killing to stop, but the only way it will stop is
(a) if Russia is defeated (killing will stop)
(b) if Russian wins (my bad. Killing will not stop. It will continue until the Ukrainian genocide is complete)
Yes, you would like to see an end to the killing of Ukrainians (I really don't care about Russians). We all would. That will only happen when Russia is defeated.
Nope. Trump and you are both ignoring the fact that the killing will continue. Only, it will be behind Russian lines, and then when Russia attacks again. It's honestly better that Trump fail now, STFU, and just sell weapons to Ukraine. He's not going to achieve anything except make himself look like a fool. Which he is already doing to the rest of the world. Particulary those who understand Russia.
This IS WW3, and Trump is already losing it.
No, he's not. He's made concessions on behalf of Ukraine he is not entitled to make. He's sided with Putin and attacked Ukraine again and again.
He is in no way a mediator.
And Trump should just stay out of it. There is no need for mediation. All Trump needs to do is step back, impose sanctions on Russia as the aggressor, and sell weapons and ammo to Ukraine and let them do the job.
Trump has positioned himself firmly on the wrong side of history on this one. He'll go down alongside Neville Chamberlain, and there was absolutely no need for him to do this to himself.
And most of Ukraine's natural resources are at present held or threatened by the Russians in the east.
Trump has been adamant that his goal is to stop the killing. He's said this many times and there's nothing to show that he feels differently than what he's said.
Then it will be Russia who would be in violation of their own peace agreement. This is not unusual between warring nations where rancor runs deep.
This is always the risk as we have seen with Hamas/Hezbollah and Israel. Their ceasefire agreements always seem to allow the Palestinians to rearm and attack again in the future. Trump's challenge is to get both sides to agree to just stop fighting and then stick to their agreements.
Trump isn't in a position to guarantee anything. His role is to mediate an agreement between the parties. That's it.
Then he looks like a fool for trying to save lives when neither party cares about those lives.
No it isn't. Not yet. It will be if Russia is pressed to the point they will use nukes, but we aren't there yet.
Nope. LIke it or not. Ukraine can make itself into a nuclear capable state very quickly, startig with dirty bombs. If a nuke is used on Ukraine, you can bet there will be a nuclear response. Dirty bombs. Missiles into nuclear reeactors. Russia understands that.Following what you want to happen will guarantee that nukes will be used.
Questionable. The way he's acting is suspiciously like Putin has something on him.He has no stake in the outcome other than in his role as a mediator and trying to bring the parties to the bargaining table. Putin wants certain things, Trump, as mediator, will convey those demands to Zelensky. That's not a concession of anything.
He has consistently attacked Zelensky and Ukraine, in public, vocally. YOu don't do that to an ally and you don't do that if you are a "mediator."He also hasn't "attacked Ukraine." That's just ridiculous to say.
ANd if Russia uses nukes, Russia will find Moscow sprayed with radioactive waste.Which will start WWIII. There's no wiggle room here, if the two nations continue to fight and Ukraine pressures Russia hard enough, Ukraine will be nuked and the world will be poorer for it.
This may end up being true but there's an old adage that all it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing. Whatever your view of Trump the person, he's doing more than nothing. He may not succeed, but he's in there trying. And he's doing it despite the badmouthing he's getting for it.
Then he needs to make realistic proposals istead of blowing smoke out his ass. Putin;s intentions are perfecty clear. It's only Trump who fails to understand them.
And then what will Trump do about that? Putin doesn't give a crap what agreement he violates. He's been vioaltimg agreements since 2014 with Ukraine and all the USA's guarantees have proved worthless. What makes us think Trump's will be any different, particular;y since he refuses to provide guarantees.
And just how will he do that? Short of putting US troops on the the ground? Putin does not want peace. He is playing rings around Trump, not that Trump minds. He is doing his best to help Putin without making it totally obvious. He will take any bullshit Putin feeds him and use it as an excuse not to impose sanctions. He has not provided any new military assistamce for Ukraine. He has walked away from the security guarantees the USA signed off on and between this and tariffs, rendered any agreement with the USA a worthless piece of paper.
Yes, there is a BIG risk. No. Ukraine cannot afford to accept that risk.
Then he should STFU and sell weapons to Ukraine. No agreement with Russia is worth the paper it is written on. Putin has broken every agreement he has ever signed.
I repeat, he is NOT trying to save lives. He is trying to save Russian lives and make it easierfor Putin to overrun Ukraine. He doesn't object at all to Ukrainians being killed. He has proven that time and time again
Nothing to do with Russia. Russia is merely an adjunct to China and China is playimg the long game, aiming to take over as THE world superpower from the USA. This war plays into China's hands, and the USA is losing, because China is fighting WW3. The USA is already abdicating, and Trump is rapid;y losing any allies the USA might have.

Trump has chosen sides. He just can't go to far or even the GOP might not be able to stomach it.
ANd if Russia uses nukes, Russia will find Moscow sprayed with radioactive waste.
If it comes to that, it's more likely Putin will eat a lead pill in an internal coup. There's already rumors......
Trouble is. he's siding with evil on this one.
