Listen to a reading of this article: ❖ US Senator Joe Manchin said at the World Economic Forum on Monday that he opposes any kind of peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia. Manchin, who at the moment is one of the most powerful elected officials in Washington, added that only the complete forcible ejection of Russia from all of Ukraine is acceptable, that the war should ideally be used to remove Putin from power, and that he and the strategists he talks to see this war as an "opportunity".
The war in Ukraine is over, the Russians are going to prevail, the patriotic fantasy that we stand with Ukraine no matter what is just that, it is a dream; it is over; it is done. Now the only matter left is how much damage our leaders will do worldwide to protect a small kleptocracy from a large kleptocracy and what price will our leaders make us pay to achieve their dangerous dream?
Of course not, there are still Ukrainians that are alive. The rules are clear, until the last Ukrainian. I just hope they count Chyristia Freeland and Vicky Nuddleman among those to be thrown on the bonfire of vanity and profits.
Peace is not an option because this is a proxy war. The fault lies entirely on the West, its opportunistic politicians and supporters who try to construct this as an "illegal' war on Russia's part, while they are definitely, resolutely, brutally, without the shadow of a doubt, conducting an illegal war themselves.The Iron Age, and perhaps the more significant,
Age of irony.
What is disturbing are the enabling pundits, the men of quality, like Noam Chomsky, who allow the injustice of the predicament imposed on Russia by a West-controlled Ukraine, yet deny the legality of Russia's response. This makes no sense of the common sort, nor is it justified by International law, which allows self-defence as a legal premise for aggression: yes, you can defend yourself for Chrissake!
Does Russia have grounds? Few deny it, yet it was supposed to wait around for 20 years until the situation resolved itself? Until permission could be granted? The West was obviously not interested in a solution acceptable to Russia, and instead imposed its will in Maidan and its lack of will concerning the implementation of the Minsk Accords. This is an exaggerated parallel to the RC church insistence that an intolerable marriage be tolerated for 20 - 30 years until annulment is granted - on RCC terms. This is injustice with compound interest.
This war is the West's poisoned wedding cake, replete with drooling war-mongers, and military- industrial type exploiters and extortionists - topped off with wild-eyed war and apocalypse lovers.
How can this even be considered a "proxy" war at a time when the US/UK/Germany/Poland are openly sending weapons and personnel into help the "brave" Nazis?
How quickly American politicians have forgotten the Cuban missile crisis. And, they don't seem to have the capacity to put themselves in the shoes of the Russians who are facing the exact same existential threat!
Meanwhile Putin publicly asked the Ukrainian military to take over the Ukrainian government. He is actually asking his official enemy to please take the country he is invading. I read a German translation of his speech in the anti-spiegel.
The world better hope Russia wins this sickening war in Ukraine, because if they start to lose, what then? They are simply not going to use their bigger "man toy", "big dick" nuclear weapons?
I am not saying I side with Putin. Surely there were better ways to resolve the Ukraine issue instead of mass killing people. Putin is a mass killer. Not as bad as Stalin or George Bush, but he now joins their ranks.
Do people really understand what war is about? It's not some video game where if you get shot, you just restart in a new location.
When you kill people or when you get killed, that's it. It's over. Whatever you were is gone. Who knows where but you're gone from this planet. Maybe consciousness goes somewhere else, but no one really knows that for sure.
So it amazes me people are so willing to lose their lives in war. Like it was some kind of kids game. This game of killing people and you likely being killed yourself. And all for what? Just so your country can prove it's the 'good guys' and the other country are the 'bad guys'?
As George Carlin said, “ Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity”.

Goodgodalmighty! WTF is wrong with these "erected" psychopaths?
Manchin outs himself as Klaus Schwab loyalist, traitor to the United States of America.
Of course not, there are still Ukrainians that are alive. The rules are clear, until the last Ukrainian. I just hope they count Chyristia Freeland and Vicky Nuddleman among those to be thrown on the bonfire of vanity and profits.
The entire point of this proxy war is "regime change" in Russia, and the more unguarded neocons are talking about a Libyan or Yugoslav template.
There is no conceivable treaty that will give such people what they crave.

What Kissinger said at Davos is likely more indicative of where this is going next than what Manchin said.
It's MONKEYPOX this week!!
Russia/Ukraine will continue unabated, old news.

They're nearing their threshold of ideas. BabylonBee has some.

I thought Manchin was a good guy. I was wrong. Just as I was wrong about Cotton as well

These fools can say whatever they want, Kissinger just dropped a bombshell at the WEF.

Excellent summation of current events. Washington is full of sociopaths.
