Damn...Biden had us at War with Russia. So just like I said. It was a miracle this War was not over after year 2... not a good look for the NATO War Machine.

Interesting. I never knew Biden was such a shrewd negotiator. Tip of the cap to him for locking down such a deal. Highlight of his presidency in my opinion
Wow. Constant denial is a sad way to go through life.

Key Takeaways:
US President Donald Trump expressed willingness to introduce additional sanctions targeting Russian oil and secondary sanctions against buyers of Russian oil if Russian President Vladimir Putin does not make progress towards a general ceasefire, including a ceasefire for land warfare in the near future.
A Russian diplomat provided additional details following Russian President Vladimir Putin's recent thinly veiled demand for regime change in Ukraine by having external parties establish a “temporary international administration” in Ukraine under the auspices of the United Nations (UN).
Russian forces struck a military hospital and civilian infrastructure in Kharkiv City on the night of March 29 to 30.
The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense (MoD) announced on March 30 that it will establish a Space Policy Department.
Russian forces recently advanced near Toretsk and Pokrovsk.

quote:Typical bullshite. So he's going to cut off India and China from all business with the US? No exports nor financial investments at all?
The president added that entities that buy oil from Russia would not be able to do business in the United States and said there would be a 25% tariff on all oil if Russia does not reach a ceasefire deal with Ukraine within a month.
The second phrase is even more rediculous. How is he going to put tariffs on oil transferred from Russia to a non-US country? He's at the point now where 'tariffs' is the answer to every question he can't answer. When will he suggest that tariffs be placed on the US courts that are ruling against him? How about tariffs on the alcohol-soaked lying coming from his cabinet?
What this country needs is a tariff on microphones placed in front of politicians that have an allergy to the truth. We should at least expect semi-logical lies coming from Trump but these are just the confused ramblings of an unprepared old man.

NYT article admits that this was more than proxy war between the US and Russia. It was as close as could be to an all out hot war between the two sides (US and Russia).
NYT however is running cover for the Biden administration. When you read through this very long article, the conclusion is that the Biden administration and US military command were easily defeating Russia until...
1) The Ukraine Generals started acting up and disobeyed US orders.
2) Zelensky chased "big wins" for PR reasons, failing to follow US strategy.
3) Resulting in the 2023 counteroffensive 'failure.' Trust was broken between US and Ukraine.
4) What followed was the US keeping Ukraine in the game up to the US elections, by striking targets in Crimea and pre-2014 Russia.
5) Trump entered the WH and decided to wind the war down, handing Russia the win.
"History Is Written by the Victors."
In this case the NYT has decided that the US (under Biden) was victorious, IF not for the insubordinate Ukrainian Generals and ego of Zelensky. Trump will be blamed for the end result capitulation.
The article 100% explains why NATO and the Europeans still believe that they can win this war. Peak delusion and propaganda.

This is why we give them any weapons we want to give them and wash our hands clean of it from there.

Like striking targets deep into Russia for PR reasons instead of actual tactically significant targets, just like I said.

In Ukraine today, 3/31 marks the third anniversary of Ukraine liberating Bucha from Russian occupation and atrocity.
For Russia’s perspective on Bucha and how all atrocities committed there were
[entirely fabricated]
[really committed by the west actually][completely normal in any war]
we turn now John Barron and his next 8 spam posts.

Key Takeaways:
US President Donald Trump stated on March 30 that there is an unspecified "psychological deadline" for Russia to agree to a general ceasefire amid continued Russian efforts to hold the temporary ceasefire in the Black Sea hostage to stall efforts toward a general ceasefire and extract additional concessions from the West.
Russian officials continue efforts to undermine the proposed US-Ukrainian mineral deal by promoting potential US-Russian rare earth mining projects.
The Kremlin continues efforts to sow division between the United States and Europe.
Ukraine's European allies continue to provide financial and military aid to Ukraine.
Ukrainian forces recently advanced near Toretsk. Russian forces recently advanced in Kursk and Sumy oblasts and near Kupyansk, Kurakhove and Velyka Novosilka.
Russia is reportedly struggling to restore what few tanks remain in its stocks.

From the outside it certainly appeared that U.S. officials, at a time when their lame-duck president was wandering into foliage in Brazil, were upping the ante in Ukraine as a way of rendering rapprochement impossible before the new government took office. No other explanation made sense. On the other hand, heightening global nuclear risk just to guarantee continuation of a doomed policy seemed impossibly cynical, even for whoever was running the White House by then.
Now we find out from inside sources this was done precisely to prolong the “Ukraine project.” There are a hundred details in this “Secret History” that serve as stark warnings to anyone who thinks protection from Armageddon is secure in the hands of career military and intelligence officials. Not only did we allow ourselves to be “blackmailed” into escalating a conflict with a nuclear power, the management of the “partnership” broke down because of a Heathers-style spat between the key brass twits, Ukrainian general Valery Zaluhniy and Mark Milley.
When Milley second-guessed Zaluhniy, the latter would respond with teen-like silence, or by ghosting Milley’s next call. Underscoring: the country to which we were giving hundreds of billions in aid didn’t feel a need to pick up the phone. Entous describes the general lack of communication via a moment of levity: “Biden administration officials would joke bitterly that they knew more about what the Russians were planning by spying on them than about what their Ukrainian partners were planning.”
The solution to the Miller-Zaluhniy feud, no joke, involved a blimp maker:
To keep them talking, the Pentagon initiated an elaborate telephone tree: A Milley aide would call Maj. Gen. David S. Baldwin, commander of the California National Guard, who would ring a wealthy Los Angeles blimp maker named Igor Pasternak, who had grown up in Lviv with Oleksii Reznikov, then Ukraine’s defense minister. Mr. Reznikov would track down General Zaluzhny and tell him, according to General Baldwin, “I know you’re mad at Milley, but you have to call him.”
