Who pushes for peace & who wants to continue an unwinnable war?
This is just easy.

Peace is pursued through strength and principle.
A peace deal where Putin submits to US leverage and pressure is one thing. A peace deal where Putin is the shot caller, where Ukraine is excluded from the conversation is suspect from the jump.
Putin is playing Trump like a fiddle. Why? Because Trump seeks to be in Putin’s good graces. Trump is not strong and bold. He is a coward at his core.
And Trump and Putin are not exactly honorable men. Quite the contrary. Ask yourself who is the honest and reliable witness to the negotiations?
So don’t assume that a peace deal is in the best interests of the United States, merely because the war ends.
What are the long term costs and consequences? Is America’s honor and longstanding reputation as “no better friend” now for sale?
And that explains why Biden Adm didn’t try for a peace deal.

In fairness, peace through appeasement is for pussies…
and that’s what Trump is proposing to Putin. I would be impressed as hell if Trump negotiated from a position of strength. His infatuation with Putin is Bizarre on many levels. You’re a good guy…I know you see this.
Of course I want him to be harder on this maniac. But this act that certain poster have that Biden
Was a strong President is flat out stupid. Right now, we need peace and to stop sending billions to a worthless cause. I’ll take peace any day of the week.
Biden was terrific in managing foreign affairs. History will vouch for it.

History will remember his as a senile old man who was unfit for office. Then on the way out the
door he gave pardons to his family for crimes that he took part in. Oh and the only decisions he made revolved around flavors of ice cream, unelected radicals made the rest for him.
I want peace too, but it won’t happen if the Ukraine is the only one making concessions

Zelensky & EU political elites want to continue this war. That's why they're excluded from Riyadh
negotiation. Riyadh negotiation is about ending the war, about peace, not continuing the war.
Russia is winning. The term of negotiation certainly is in their favor. Ukraine is losing. Zelensky knows the term of negotiation won't be in Ukraine's favor. Thats why he is reluctant to negotiate now. Very simple.
I am for crushing the rebirth of the Soviet Union in it crib.
We have blinded ourselves to how absolutely sadistically evil Putin's nightmare society really was.
Yeah, that what we're on the cusp of, a new USSR.

I have been supporting roughly this outcome for 2 years
But the way this moron president has gone about it is diplomatic malpractice.
Both parties are exhausted. Peace is near. We did not have to insult the Ukrainians, alienate our allies, and praise Putin.
If Biden or Harris won the election, no doubt you would continue supporting this war till Ukraine
begin winning.
Your using Zelensky's treatment as excuse is laugble. Zelensky started this row at first. He let Bessent who took a long trip by train to get Kiev wait for an hour before meeting him. The reason? Zelensky is sleeping now, Mr Bessent. Zelensky aid told Bessent. WTF.
Precisely why you’re your favorite word

Not true because you voted D, never threatened Z’s money spigot,& inspire zero fear in Putin
You and yours not only didn’t ever bother to pursue peace after your incompetence facilitated Putin’s aggression, but you could’t achieve it if you tried.
If peace is achieved, the result will be all because of Trump, and nobody cares that you don’t like how he did it.
Don’t you dare try to horn in on any success on this if it happens. You’d still be signing blank checks.
Putin wants a mere pause before he resumes. It's a sadistic compulsion.

Indeed. He knows he just needs to wait for another D POTUS to get elected….
….like he did the last two times he invaded.
Quit your bitching. You’re just facilitating round 3 for Putin if you get your way.
Appeasement never works.
The board MSNBC watchers like the war.

Yeah, the libs are now pro-war, anti-tariffs, making fun of the uneducated, defenders of the CIA/FBI
anti-free speech. It's an amazing transformation. They even resuscitated McCarthyism by labeling anyone who didn't buy the Russia Hoax or support Ukraine in its quixotic effort against Russia, then you were a Russkie-sympathizing pinko. They deserve everything they're having to swallow currently.
They were so honored to get Dick Cheney's endorsement.

Well, Conor and Lyndsey Graham want the wars. 2 peas in a pod.

Lindsey thought we should simultaenously have boots on the ground against Russia, Iran, Syria.
Probably a few others, too. He never left 2003. As he ages, I expect him to lapse into declarations that Saddam must be removed from power and singing "Bomb, bomb, bomb. Bomb, bomb Iran."
It’s funny how all of a sudden people like Conor are on the side of Liz Cheney, Lyndsey Graham
And Adam “the crier” Kinzinger. Like Triple F, he’s really a Republican.

I’m not so sure you served either. No way any self respecting Marine acts and talks the way you do.
