Why would the war stop for good? Russia gets everything it wanted, with no repercussions. Expect another attack in 5 years. The view you're presenting is very myopic.

No repercussions? I can see that the lives lost are not in your calculations.

If the US were working for Russia, what would they do differently other than supply weapons to Russia and/or join on their side? Each day it takes more and more faith to believe the opposite.

They would recognize Crimea and all four partially occupied oblasts as Russian. They would support the annexation of additional oblasts that Russia claims belong to "Novorossia". Freezing the conflict is NOT what Russia wants right now. If one is extremely cynical, one could claim that the recent actions are a signal to Moscow to hurry up and finish the business in Donetsk/Zaphorizia so that a stable peace deal can b…

Russia definitely wants to freeze the conflict... They're producing more weapons than Europe yet unable to make major breakthroughs, pausing, rebuilding (without sanctions) and then trying over will definitely yield more territory than what they're currently doing.

Maybe an US Army guy or defense analyst knows how HIMARS and/or MLRS work: Can these systems function completely independently of integrated, US-run targeting/intelligence "cloud" IBCS with domestic battlefield intel and strike orders for lat+lon+time+weapon?

Impeach

Okay, but how given the makeup of the House (and D's just lost Sylvester Turner of TX-18)? And then convict in the Senate. The republic is a de facto empire in the open with a unitary executive (duumvirate with Musk and sidekick Vance), a weak and partisan SCOTUS, and a weak majority and ineffective bicameral COTUS.

So far, every impeachment in modern history has been entirely political theater accomplishing nothing, rendering impeachment as a virtue signal rather than a "break glass" nuclear option to remove a threat to the republic.

And then online, it has become the rallying cry of keyboard warriors to conduct cyber tokenism in place of real, courageous disobedience like Al Green.

Might I humbly suggest anyone who disagrees with the prevailing course organize and exercise 1a and vote with their wallets because protesting and speech may soon be criminalized.

Your 2nd line is a unsupported claim, plus you paint the refugees as social security leeches. Can I counter-claim, that you're a worm-brained Russian troll (like RFK's worm, which can be the right-wingers' version of the "woke mind virus"), with a 10 minute old account? Yeah, "discussion" seems a lot harder than downvoting idiotic claims. What is this "peace" you (or your -- I suspect -- other account ossobuco, his i…

> or your -- I suspect -- other account ossobuco Calling anyone who wants peace a bot or troll or foreign agent won't change things. It will only show that you are very displased at the idea that we won't get WWIII. Not a great look, trust me.

People who want peace tend to support giving Ukraine arms yo ensure that. Russia is more not less likely to attack if Ukraine has less support. And if somehow they succeed in conquering Ukraine as unlikely as that is they'll move on to other countries
