Biden wanted cheap oil for his reelection, so he wasn't going to squeeze what actually needed to be squeezed. Posted by: LeupoldWhat a statesman. A modern day George Washington. Will this lead to peace? Who knows. But Trump is the only one who's gotten the ball this far. Sure it's on the fifteen yard line but he's the only one that even got the ball on to the field.

as expected, he's cut off Russia from European oil money until the deal is signed
by now you should understand how Trump works these deals maximum pressure on all sides Putin will be made to understand that the deal he makes now will be better than the deal on the table in a week, or a month, or a year every week will see more weapons systems going to Ukraine and more sanctions on Russia if he doesn't deal, European combined forces could be carving out a Ukrainian buffer zone from Russian territory by the end of the year Posted by: TallDave at March 13, 2025 01:25 PM (98TtQ) 16

We need to bring back the old term "Democrat Wars" -- a common expression in the '60s to remind everyone that WWII, Korea, Vietnam (and other smaller conflicts) were all started by Democrats and (initially) opposed by Republicans. The Democrats for decades were the acknowledged "Party of war." And still are.

I said as soon as Rubio announced Ukraine agreed to the ceasefire that Russia would quickly agree too. They have nothing to lose from a 30-day pause. A lasting peace deal on their terms is what they really want. That will be tougher to get, but they'll get it. Uke is out of money, out of arms, out of men, and out of friends.

I believe President Trump knew exactly what he was saying when he mentioned during the Z man dustup, that Putin had to put up with being maligned for something he wasn't involved in, Russiagate. Also, I believe President Trump has already said Ukraine getting back territory conquered by Russia is unrealistic as is Ukraine membership in NATO.

Trump pulled Putin's EU oil and two days later, he's agreeing to a ceasefire as proposed by Trump.
Sure. We could also consider that Putin has been open to peace talks all along. It's been Zelensky and the EU who've refused to talk to Russia. I understand that a lot of people won't look at it that way because they're emotionally invested in the idea that Russia is a feckless, backwards country unable to field a decent military who will, nevertheless, be in Paris within two weeks if the west blinks because Putin is evil.

This is certainly not an agreement to a lasting peace. But peace can only happen if you can get the warring parties to stop shooting at each other and start talking. So this isn't an end to the war, but it is a necessary step if the war is to ever end.
Many wars never end. And probably never will. Many Greeks still reject the Turkk/Ottoman conquest of Byzantium/Asia Minor and still regard it as Greek territory, and plan to regain it. The Korean War is still ongoing -- we're merely in a temporary ceasefire. Jews/Arabs in the Holy Land -- 'nuff said. The Chinese Civil War is still actively happening with the Nationalist Army in firm possession of Formosa and the Communist forces in control of the mainland -- but an undeclared ceasefire barely holds. The Kurds still look to regain the land stolen from them by the Turkic tribes and Arab invaders. Serbs and Kosovars. Etc etc etc. Even WWI is not technically over - several countries which declared war between 1914-1918 never officially revoked the declaration, to this day. War is the background noise to civiliation. Posted by: zombie at March 13, 2025 01:33 PM (pMi6S) 69

So the San Fran judge-king has ordered that Trump immediately re-hire all fired probationary employees.
Uh-huh. What's the mechanics of that, and enforcing that? Anyway, yesterday Trump said he's going to enforce his right under the Federal Rules that the defendant's put up the bond for any damages should the injunction be found improper. Watch the judge-king set the bond as "reasonable" at $1. Which is a nice trap set by Trump. Because reasonable would be equivalent to the salary of all those fired. I'm guessing setting an unreasonable bond is appealable, even in a TRO. Posted by: People's Hippo Voice at March 13, 2025 01:38 PM (q3zn6) 99

Trump increased pressure on Russia by slapping sanctions on banks that processed Russia oil sales to the EU. Biden, who was supposedly such a Hard Guy on Russia, had not done this. In fact, he specifically suspended sanctions on banks processing Russia oil sales.
I imagine that was the EU pressuring Biden not to put those sanctions on. I didn't know Trump had done those sanctions specifically. This must've been what he did when he warned the Russians last week in a post, because they'd been "pounding Ukraine" for a few days. If Putin goes along with the ceasefire before he drives the Ukes out of Kursk, I'd be very surprised. That seems to have been his main priority on the battlefield since Trump was sworn in.

However, if a part of the ceasefire removes martial law, and a portion of Ukraine is allowed to vote their future. They could do a referendum vote to determine secession or a portion of Ukraine (which just happens to be very pro-Russia right down to speaking Russian).

If Putin goes along with the ceasefire before he drives the Ukes out of Kursk, I'd be very surprised.
The Ukes have been almost completely driven out of Kursk, which is why Putin appeared at Kursk military headquarters for the first time yesterday - he wants to be associated with the victory.

You control Crimea, you can control the Black Sea, if you need to. Also, it's nice to have if you want to get to the Mediterranean. And he needed the Donbass to get there from Russia without depending on bridges and ferries. He did not want NATO to have Ukraine because it would have hemmed Russia in surrounding Crimea and prevented a strong defense of the homeland itself. Most invasions of Russia from the West have come through Ukraine. So the Russians don't want to give anybody a head start by allowing foreign bases right on their doorstep.

For Ukraine specifically he wants to keep the parts with ethnic Russians. Just like in Georgia. Overall seems reasonable.

"When did this take place?" I asked. "946 A.D." he said, and went on talking.

>>That swing sucked ...
Traditional Golf Swings are great and all...but the only thing that matters in a golf swing is the interface of the club surface and the ball at contact. How you get the club face to the ball is essentially irrelevant, so long as you are in control of that one component. Now. Doing that consistently and without employing the traditional mechanics is difficult for many...but if you look at the Hockey Players who are really good at golf, many of their swings are atrocious. Yet they hit the ball with power and control. Posted by: garrett at March 13, 2025 02:01 PM (npXNI) 264

"When did this take place?" I asked. "946 A.D." he said, and went on talking.
From one of the Bulgarian-Byzantine wars perhaps? Serbia has a lot of grievances that show up later, when the Muslims invaded the Balkans. One of their big ones, which the FNM ignored, was their sort of victory sort of loss in the Battle of Kosovo against the Ottomans. They killed the Sultan and most of his army, but also lost most of their own. So they won but...the Ottomans just called up more men from other parts of their empire and went on conquering (this is a pro-gamer move for those that play strategy games) Posted by: 18-1 at March 13, 2025 02:05 PM (t0Rmr) 288
There was a treaty among the former Russian satellite regions;
Agreement on the establishment of the Commonwealth of Independent States - Belavezha Accords. A plan between Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine to create a Commonwealth of Independent States upon the collapse of the USSR. It basically carved up the former Soviet Union. Crimea was a semi-autonomous region, ethnically aligned with Russia. Before the war there was much ethnic strife among those that identified as Russian and those that identified as Ukrainian. The regions resorted to armed conflict before Russia got involved. IMO it was Russia's place to resolve the issue. The Ukrainians and the US (and NATO) basically ignored this treaty.

by now you should understand how Trump works these deals maximum pressure on all sides Putin will be made to understand that the deal he makes now will be better than the deal on the table in a week, or a month, or a year every week will see more weapons systems going to Ukraine and more sanctions on Russia if he doesn't deal, European combined forces could be carving out a Ukrainian buffer zone from Russian territory by the end of the year Posted by: TallDave at March 13, 2025 01:25 PM (98TtQ) Note that this hits the EU as well, since they can't buy the oil until the peace is settled and they have no part of the negotiation.

I'm glad for the possibility of Peace... but... turning the Banking system into a weapon of war? as we have the last 50 or so years... will come back and bite us eventually.
This unilateral move did not just show Russia who had the whip hand, but also every EU country... and China... and India... and Viet Nam... and everyone else out there. Several EU nations, who're totally not at war with Russia, impounded the Russian sovereign funds held in European banks and have been using the interest to fund Ukraine. Essentially stealing from Russia to fund Ukraine. We didn't start the fire. Posted by: I used to have a different nic at March 13, 2025 02:12 PM (ExV1e) 329

Posted by: TallDave That is hilarious. European "combined forces" would have been pushed back west of the Rhine within three weeks. Posted by: Thomas Paine at March 13, 2025 02:06 PM (ZPDaM) Europe can't even form a skirmish line in the area. Even the RUS and UKR had pretty much no troops north of Kharkov due to lack of troops. After UKR attacked a few times and RUS recruited more troops they formed a reserve there that reacted to the invasion of Kursk but those troops were not deployed on the front. North of Sumy, still neither side has much force there. An force of 15000, a division, has a frontage of 15-25 miles. Drop that on the Dniepr and Russia could eventually just drive around them.

Which doesn't justify either side's actions. You can keep going back, listing the various Uke/Russian conflicts, going back for centuries. Basically, the only rational course of action for the rest of the world to wall the place off, supply both sides with weapons and let nature take it's course Posted by: IllTemperedCur at March 13, 2025 02:30 PM (y9nCu) Oh nonsense. Ukraine stayed loyal and a part of the USSR during WWII and the Cold War without a peep. Posted by: Oldcat at March 13, 2025 02:31 PM (n7h9X) 398
You probably don't know this but I've started writing a book about grief and recovery. I've decided to expand that into a discussion about death and dying.
I'm not even remotely smart enough to write about that but I think I will try. Question for you: if you were dying and you knew it would you talk about it with the people who love you? Posted by: Northernlurker Yes. Posted by: rickb223 at March 13, 2025 02:32 PM (WZaJc) 399

Europe can't even form a skirmish line in the area.

Brussels Summit Communiqué
Issued by the Heads of State and Government participating in the meeting of the North Atlantic Council in Brussels 14 June 2021, Last updated: 01 Jul. 2022 Reading all suggested, but especially 69. which begins: "We reiterate the decision made at the 2008 Bucharest Summit that Ukraine will become a member of the Alliance with the Membership Action Plan (MAP) as an integral part of the process; we reaffirm all elements of that decision, as well as subsequent decisions, including that each partner will be judged on its own merits. We stand firm in our support for Ukraine’s right to decide its own future and foreign policy course free from outside interference. The Annual National Programmes under the NATO-Ukraine Commission (NUC) remain the mechanism by which Ukraine takes forward the reforms pertaining to its aspiration for NATO membership. Ukraine should make full use of all instruments available under the NUC to reach its objective of implementing NATO principles and standards. The success of wide-ranging, sustainable, and irreversible reforms, including combating corruption, promoting an inclusive political process,..." (yada yada).

"In fact, he specifically suspended sanctions on banks processing Russia oil sales."
Gee, didn't a democrat president in the 90's 'neglect' the same action concerning Iraqi oil sales to Europe, to? Posted by: Danimal28 at March 13, 2025 02:29 PM (1E4GV) The sanctions also make it legal for Russia to sail a tanker to India, paint "not Russian, srsly" and sell it to the US and the EU. and they do.

An force of 15000, a division, has a frontage of 15-25 miles. Drop that on the Dniepr and Russia could eventually just drive around them.

One wonders why "European combined forces" couldn't have accomplished that during the preceding 3 years.

That is hilarious. European "combined forces" would have been pushed back west of the Rhine within three weeks.
Posted by: Thomas Paine at March 13, 2025 02:06 PM (ZPDaM) ------- ROTFLMAO do you even know what combined arms means? neither Russia nor Ukraine has the ability to integrate their forces to their tactical advantage, NATO countries would chew up these bands of drone-dodging conscripts and spit them out at minimal risk heck, Poland by itself could thunder run through Moscow in a week if there weren't thousands of nukes in play Posted by: TallDave at March 13, 2025 02:56 PM (98TtQ) 411

Seems to me that Russia's two top demands are completely acceptable.
Wars happen, and boundaries change. Doesn't matter why it started. Them's the rules. No way they can accept Ukraine joining NATO. Huge shared border. That would be a tinderbox for WW-III. My $0.02 Posted by: connertown at March 13, 2025 03:37 PM (Xo5AT) 419
Russia doesn't need a ceasefire, it's winning!
May not need a ceasefire, but wants one. Russia is certainly winning, but has really already won all it wants (assuming Trump agrees Ukraine will not be admitted to NATO; Russia has occupied eastern Ukraine and has no territorial aspirations beyond that).

Tough spot with seemingly no leverage, but I’d sure like to see Ukrainians get their homes back. Or perhaps an audit of Zelensky and the other kleptocratic murderers pay cash for the lost property.

Why did Putin invade Ukraine?
Putin was after parts of Ukraine before the Ukraine in NATO concept seemed serious. He is after ethnic Russians. Ethnic Russians are headed for minority status in Russia, and Putin is influenced by traditional Russian philosophers/scholars that write about Russian exceptionalism. He is afraid of losing what it means to be "Russian." This is not a land grab. It is a "person" grab. Putin is not trying to rebuild the Soviet empire. He wants to collect all the ethnic Russians and stem the inevitable tide swamping them demographically in Russia. Posted by: HSL at March 13, 2025 05:10 PM (0eDhr) 422
