That has been the traditional US policy against dictatorship. If Putin wants to come to the table Russia will have to change the way they do things. But that won't happen with him at the helm.Mel Bradford wrote: ↑Sun Mar 02, 2025 2:55 pmSachs has exposed western hegemony like few around. He's been at it for over 40 years. He knows all the players, many personally.
Most profound and to your point Sea-or-bust is the U.S. unwillingness and veritable inability to negotiate. Since the war broke out no one in US state department (let alone the EU) has even attempted to 'broker of arbitrate a peace deal'. It's part of our non-strategy strategy. We create boogie men, deploy resources, change regimes at will and let the media sell it to the American people. This is foreign policy since Reagan. And since the wall came down the systematic encroachment on Russia. As for Putin....he's watched this action the better part of his adult life. A new trust is desperately needed. Russia is part of Europe.
Thanks for posting bpj
I'm fully aware that some of what we hear about these countries/leaders is likely propaganda... and the majority of it likely isn't. But which side are you on?
I thought conservatives were patriots who fervently defend democracy and the American way? Bending the knee to fascist, mother Russia sure seems to fly in the face of that notion. But like I said, I'm not surprised. What used to be the party of patriotism and 'Merica, has been replaced with a bunch of cult members wanting to make Donald Trump King, celebrating when he kisses Putin and North Korea's asses.
