🤔❗️"It is unrealistic to say that we are going to expel every Russian from every square meter of Ukrainian land. Even in Crimea — President Trump has acknowledged this reality," — Mike Waltz

Ceding territory is a bad phrase. Selling hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians into ruzzian slavery subject to unlimited rape, torture and murder is more accurate.
Because he does not see himself/Trump/America as being on the “same side” as Ukraine. ‘America and American interests first and only’ (even when he does not understand America’s interests. Or not when they conflict with Trump’s. He’s as much looking to send a message to Ukraine as to Russia.
However, both the West and Ukraine needs to do more: the West, with better and more consistent arms and financial packages; and Ukraine with increased mobilization: 200,00 to stem the Russian advance, and probably 500,000 to take the offensive.
So basically acknowledged that Trump is owned by Putin and will let him keep the land he conquered. As an American I am so embarrassed/angry that we let him back in office.
Let’s not give a fuck about what the orange monkey says and wants, Let’s di what is right. ZZia defeated would be a big win to humanity, to Everybody and to the US too.
Russia’s army in Ukraine is more than double the size of the force that invaded.
However, future Russian combat units will become less and less skilled and more likely to suffer heavy casualties, and the Kremlin is unlikely to find a way to solve the problem

"We"? Are "we" sending US troops to Ukraine? Don't be a horses' ass, like Don Jr., and further destroy Ukraine's chances for successful negotiations. What is wrong with you people? Has no one in the great orange buffoon's administration ever led a successful negotiation before?
Set the objective of full withdrawal. Bring all pressure to bear to the maximum (and this does not just include military pressure) and ultimately aim to force Russia to withdraw voluntarily as the best option open to them. As they did in Afghanistan and from Eastern Europe post USSR.
It´s a weird approach.
As the deal with the voters is, that the war must end at January 21.
So saying, that this is done by giving up territory, Waltz is also accepting, that the territorial pursuit from the de-nazifiers should be rewarded by the democracies.
And still no red line is drawn....... 🙂
The Mujahideen didn't expel the Soviets from "every square meter of Afghanistan". The Taliban didn't expel the U.S. from Afghanistan. The Viet Cong didn't expel the U.S. They just made it too expensive for them to stay.
This is what Ukraine must do regardless of new dumb U.S. administration.
First off... "We" (Yanks) are not actively involved in squat... Ukrainians are fighting and dieing for their country. "We" are sitting back watching and seeing which country "We" can buy/steal next.
I know people hate to hear it, but i am fairly sure Ukraine would possible give up Crimea for the rest of the land to be free and save again. I am not saying that Russia deserves it.
It's an opinion. I won't sell it as a fact. But it's a fact that majority of pro Ukraine people left that place long time ago. And from all the occupied areas it is the least vital one for Ukraine.
Wrong. Crimea is strategically the MOST vital area for Ukraine--by far the most important. It dominates the Black Sea and controls the Azov Sea. Ukraine's ports on the Azov Sea would be totally under Russia's control if they occupy Crimea. Ukraine's export shipping requires control of Crimea.
That wasn't true from 2014-2022. You can also have full fire control over the whole peninsula. Getting Donbas back is way more important for the economy. And obviously if Russia occupies the Donbas they can always just march into the heartland of Ukraine, that is not true from Crimea.
That's a silly argument. It was true from 2014-2022, but Russia didn't attempt to control shipping during that period. They weren't ready for the war then.
Even if you have "fire control" over Crimea, that still wouldn't guarantee safe shipping and the Azov would be totally blocked off.

It degrades the negotiation stance and puts the US/Ukraine in a weaker position
Typical american exceptionalism

Trump will save you.
Hey Waltzy, now do Syria. Illuminate us with your brilliance.
