Michael Valtersson -COMMENT: MEARSHEIMER'S CONDITIONS WOULD BE A LUCKY END FOR UKRAINE, NOT A COMPLETE SURRENDER, JULY 31 2025Someone doesn't know what a complete surrender is... Most wars end in a negotiated settlement. The stronger side get more of their demands than the weaker side. That's business as usual, not total surrender. If the loss of 20% of Ukrainian territory, what would then be a balanced negotiated settlement?Ukraine act's like they have won, not lost the war. The loss is still only an partial loss. Ukraine should be happy that they have survived for more than three years and cut their losses now. In a year or two the Russian demands will much harsher. Then maybe half of Ukraine will be lost and that's much closer to a total surrender than today's situation.

Famous Russian shill Mearsheimer lists the conditions Ukraine must accept:

•Abandon its NATO aspirations

•Disarm

•Cede 20% of its territory to Russia

Basically, a full capitulation.

Richard -In December 2013, Victoria Nuland openly boasted that the US had poured $5 billion into Ukraine since 1991 to force its pro-Western agenda onto the country.Long before the 2014 Maidan uprising, Washington was already engineering the coup to overthrow Yanukovych and install a regime more compliant with its interests.
