Incorrect. The customers they lost were just replaced by bigger customers like India and China buying more Oil and Natural Gas from them

Zekensky became president of Ukraine in May of 2019. The war was five years old.


You didn't answer if Zelensky and his pimps decision to retake Donbas was the right political and strategic decision. Was it?

Ironically, Zelensky was elected to end the war. Based on his behavior in the oval office and his outbursts on social media, it doesn't surprise me. The only question is when he leaned in heavily in yeyo and wheels came off. I think it was pre-2022. People who were around him who he recently put sanctions on said he's snorting bigly. Those who's done coke also recognize the symptoms. He's clearly maintaining, ala Hitler who was running on cocaine and opiates during WW2. They say you shouldn't drink and drive, but you really shouldn't get high and start wars.

“Ukraine will not withdraw troops from part of its own territory and will not give in to Russia's ultimatums.” -Zelensky

And that’s why I made sure to highlight the key point. As long the proxy you arm and fund doesn’t want to make peace you never have to and can just blame the proxy.

Trump might be stepping back because he see that he had bites off more than he can chew. Putin isn’t stopping the war unless Ukraine gives in to all his demands.

I’m more interested to see if Trump cuts off aid now, continues the current level of aid, or if he got pissed off and ramps up anid and sanctions now that it’s clear that Putin haa shot down his plan.

Russian oil production is down at a time when market prices are down which is a double whammy.

I probably used the wrong terminology; however, Russia is losing revenue not customers.

The effort to retake Donbas began before Z was president. Looking back it was probably a good decision and helped them prepare for the Russian SO.

lol

Ukraine wants peace they just don’t want to surrender land that their citizens fought and died to keep.

Putin doesn’t want peace unless he gets control of Ukraine, but you can’t say that can you.

Oil at HUGE discounts and natural gas at breakeven pricing but a lot less than Europe. Pissant amount of natural gas to China compared to what was going to Europe.

Saudi Arabia is taking back market share it loss to Russia. India will screw Russia by paying well under market prices as long as Russia's over the barrel with its pants down. China has done the same thing

Lol you dumb shite. The Iraqis weren't cave dwellers. Your knowledge of these conflicts is lacking.

Look, even if Ukraine loses now, your side has already lost. I'm making more people trans every day by putting estrogen in all their meds. RFK Jr. allows it because he's secretly on our side.

That's some logic right there for you.

"Even though Russia drew a red line in Ukraine taking major offensive actions against Donbas, doing so is the right move because it made them prepare for Russian invasion that most likely would not have come."

They could have armed up and been prepared without saber ratting about taking Donetsk and Crimea.

But it's a very stupid country with very stupid and corrupt leaders, they chose to flush it away and make themselves a sacrificial goat.

Russia's profitability was in refined products to Europe. Beginning two weeks ago, I now know that Central Asian nations are looking at something more reliable than Russia for refined products, namely gasoline and diesel. So not only did it lose market share for refined products, Russia is having problems meeting demands of remaining buyers. Whether this is from sketchy maintenance or sketchy repairs after drone attacks on its refineries, I don't know.

Trump has told Zelensky enough of your BS. We are about to get out.

Trump: If there is no significant progress on Ukraine, the US will cede its role in the settlement to Europe

??The US is not yet withdrawing from peace talks on the Ukrainian conflict.
??The conflict in Ukraine should have remained a European problem, the US should not have interfered, he added.
??Trump also said that he believes in Putin's desire for peace in Ukraine.
??He will consider the option of increasing arms supplies to Ukraine, but believes in the settlement of the conflict, there is a chance to achieve peace, therefore the US is not tightening sanctions against Russia.
