    I don't believe Putin's nuclear bluster.

    And therefore Putin dooms Russia to incineration, good plan if he supposedly follows through

    You thought Putin and his invincible army would roll over Ukraine in three days, so your judgement is neither good nor impartial.

    so when they accept this -they'll talk -as to your question Putin can't make a putsch again to Kyiv
    armor is useless - why he couldnt the first time

    now get someone sane ( I never thought i'd say this) like Erdogan to mediate and end this
    But you are ignoring “cypress’s” point, how can anyone believe anything Putin says? Putin settles on an agreement favorable to him, the Ukraine demobilizes, and month later Putin again pushes on for more territory

    Can the Ukraine win, no, but their best hope is to stall and frustrate Putin long enough so that he or the Russian people have had enough, it is costing them

    I haven't heard any of that lately. Makes me wonder if Xi told him to back off with that kind of talk.

    China is certainly in charge. This has to be humiliating for Russia but there it is.

    You actually think Putin takes orders from Xi?

    They would not be framed as orders but China gets what they demand, Russia has lost the ability to say no to China.

    America is the reason this has happened, we have completely lost Russia, and any hope of getting them back on our side.

    You may be willing to surrender and submit to an invader, I don't think Ukranians will.

    There is nothing Putin can promise that will be trusted. If Zalensky gives him Donbass and the southern coast, there is no way to trust Putin will stop there. He could be back in 12 months with a reinforced Russian army for another assault on Kyiv.

    It will take Russia many years to rebuild, and there was never an assault on Kiev, you are completely delusional.

    Wait a minute, are you telling us now Russia is a puppet of China? That what is decided in the Kremlin comes via Tiananmen Square?
