Macron: Russia must not be humiliated in Ukraine

Typical cowardly form that confirms the worst stereotypes about France. The whole point of supporting Ukraine is to make sure the world knows that wars of aggression are harshly punished. That has to be a 'humiliation', or Russia will strike again. These selfish politicians-even people like Macron who aren't up for re election again-only caring about the short-term energy price shock threatens to undermine the whole response. Counting on Britain and the US to allow Zelensky to make his own choices about what, if any, concessions to grant.
Macron is trash.

Let's defeat the russians for good to crush the fascists for good and to build a greater future

"The unpalatable truth in Ukraine"

Quote
And the truth is, once we have eliminated all the impossible scenarios, the least improbable outcome of the war in Ukraine is a Russian victory.

It seems the DC establishment is preparing the way for a PR explanation of what they think is a Russia victory (I assume a limited Russian victory.)

The article provides very little evidence for its claim that pushing Russia back to February 24 lines is “impossible”. It’s improbable because the political will to provide Ukraine with the best tools to ensure this outcome is likely to remain absent, but the author makes no case as to why it is certain that this will remain true.

I don’t know why opinions about how this conflict will develop are voiced with such confidence given the uncertainties of a hot war and the poor track record of expert predictions prior to and during the early stages of this conflict.

BTW, I am not saying I agree with the assessments of the article only that it most likely refects the thinking of the DC establishment which could very be wrong. 

It mimics the Biden Op-ed in the WSJ where it pretty much said "We think that a total Russian defeat can be ruled out so we still need to co-exist with Putin.  Putin, here is the deal:  there is a limit to how much we will help Ukraine so please keep the conflict localized.  You two can just fight it out in the cage and we will also work to contain this conflict"
Putin is an another Hitler. Hé won't stop at Ukraine and he only understands force

Well,
Russia has already lost the war. Its economy is facing a huge depression and all the political capital Russia managed to build in Europe is now gone.
Oh and he has managed to turn Ukraine fully into the EU camp. Quite an accomplishment given 10 years ago they democratically elected Yanoukovitch!

Chechen Kadyrovite forces wear uniforms with the words "To Kiev" written on their backs:



Hahahahahahaha no one takes them seriously. They don't even engage in the battle (something the russians are least doing) and prefer to be in safe russia controlled zone to post tiktok videos hahahahahahaha.

Am I the only one to have the feeling the russian front is deteriorating very quickly. It's like it's very much starting to crack and that we're entering into a New phase.

Let's be honest. It is a question of Time now that Russia fully loses the War.


How would the peace treaty between Russia and Ukraine would look like ? Huge reparations ? Or maybe annexing some russian territories?

Is Crimea really going to be difficult to reconquer? Any other territories that could be difficult too?

To go a bit further, he's part of all these people who still believe Russia is a great army while it isn't. Ukraine doesn't have to sign it, they will be able to repeal the russians by themselves.

I fail to see why Ukraine should cede Crimea? They are expulsing the russians on their own already

Bloomberg:  "UK Winter Is More Likely to Be Colder Than Normal"

Quote
There is a 25% chance the season will be cold, 60% chance of it being near average and 15% it will be mild, according to the Met Office’s three-month outlook. “The likelihood of a colder three-month period overall is slightly greater than normal,” according to the outlook.
Is it only for the UK?
