  1. The NeoCon Ukraine project achieved it's main aims. Europe is weakened & more dependent upon the US, and lots of Russians were killed. Ukraine is ruined, but willingly sacrificed by the US for strategic reasons.

  2. For someone who is supposed to be in the know, Beebes does not acknowledge Ukrainian history and right to self statehood. Ukraine, a 1200 year old country ! He also does not acknowledge the Budapest Memorandum !
    He takes the easy road, he is a Putinofile!
    That’s the way I see him .

  3. WTF…. USA needs to be involved????? WHY?….THE ENTIRE CHAOS IS BECAUSE OF USA wanted to put army bases in Ukraine at the Russian border….
    USA NEEDS TO MIND ITS ONW F…. business,

  4. The Russian invasion of Ukraine was a gift to the US State Department.

    It allows the US to eliminate a geopolitical adversary on the cheap by slowly depleting it with US weaponry and Ukrainian blood. It's also a gift to the US defense department by battle testing new weaponry, logistics, and strategy on the battlefield without the political blowback of using US troops.

    All of this will give the US a strategic advantage, focus and muscle in dealing with its number 1 adversary, China….

    As an American who lived and worked in Ukraine for 20 years, 1 year in Donetsk during the Orange Revolution, all I can say is Ukraine is deeply corrupt, the war hasn't really changed that, just swept it under the rug.

    That being said, I totally support the US strategy on this as I stated above. Is the US led world order perfect, no, of course not.

    But, what's the alternative? Chinese led? BRICS? Multipolar? Don't make me laugh, study history…

    Besides, all have to do is follow the money and feet. They certainly aren't flocking to any of the above, quite the contrary.

    Until there is a better alternative, my bets are all on the US…

  5. Who cares about what western people think about stalin or putin? They should care about their presidents and primer ministers. Sure US won WW2, thats all you need to know about western level of education

  6. That's one US selfmade expert opinion. Ask Putin directly, if you want to know the truth. Even so, he will not tell you. It's detrimental characteristrics of evil politics on the whole.

  7. No one will negotiate with Putin, and Putin will negotiate with no one. This war was wanted, and this war is taking place and will reach its true end.

  8. You are true sir, the only thing I think is, that the west failed in everything, from day one…Ukraine has to fight its fight alone, with very few options and without the ammunition they needed IMMEDIATELY…so, SHAME on the west, this had been a real victory for Ukraine but was stopped by the reluctance of the west though !

  9. But I have read that Putin would like to talk with the USA. You just said tha Russia disliked that after dissolving the Warsaw Pact, USA showed that thes are the settlers. My question is: Why not peace negotiation with Ukraine?

  10. Nobody wants "an unconditional defeat of Russia in this war"!!!
    Why do you keep repeating this nonsense. Ukraine wants to remove
    the occupiers from its territory without turning Moscow into ruins.
    Is that too much either?

  11. he is so wrong on so many levels….yes Russia have enough people to take over the whole Ukraine. He forget, that every single person in Ukraine speak Russian. Not to going to be difficult to take over

  12. Stalin was not Russian! Get your facts right.
    This guy is a just a typical American, lie lie and more lie, ignore everything they have done and all the trouble they created but still have to ball to lie and make us his story.

  13. Russia doesn't "need" the west economically speaking. Its the other way around. That the EU has been buying energy from Russia throughout the war proves this.
