[ and declared Ukraine would be defeated in mere months after the invasion,]

I haven't read that here.

I know, you simply dont read.

That was said by a few posters during the initial march to Kyiv. It is very sad that the pro NATO warhawks who have been repeatedly wrong about the war every single month since then use that as proof that the other side got things wrong.

The same people also said Russia wouldn't invade in the first place.

A 100% correct statement by Kamala Harris.

A statement unburdened by what has been.

Some good news about the prospects of a settlement:

"According to some sources, Kuleba mentioned in his conversation with the Chinese Foreign Minister that Kiev is ready to negotiate with the Russian side."

But will NATO?

"The European football championship has just ended.

I always say that when they're playing football the kids in the yard are in a bunch, because everyone's running to where the ball is.

When the pros play, no one goes to where the ball is, but everyone goes to where the ball will be.

And this is also the essence of politics.

We need to know where the epicentre of events will be, where the centre will be.

And, because of the Chinese and the Americans, we're well aware of the fact that after November there will be a political era weighted towards peace.

And we're staying out of it, instead of seeing where the ball is and positioning ourselves accordingly.

Because we, our continent, as the European Union, could be the world power advocating peace more strongly than anyone.

That could be our task!

But as our ladies and gentlemen have dug themselves neck-deep into frontline trenches, it's difficult for them to climb out and promote a negotiated peace policy instead of a trench war policy.

This is their problem. This will take time.

But the essence of the peace mission is perseverance.

It's not a matter of going out, preaching a couple of sermons, and seeing peace arrive with everyone coming to their senses.

It's a matter of methodical work: it has to be done continuously, systematically, every day.

Every day I talk to someone about some possibility, some detail, some new initiatives.

And this is what has to be done, throughout this whole six months, until there's a ceasefire.

The operative word is perseverance.

And Europe will turn; it's just very difficult to get out of the trenches that they're in now and turn the situation around.

But one thing's for sure: it will all turn around by the day of the US presidential election at the latest.

It will just be better if it's not a panicky, hasty turnaround, but a well-considered process of moving from a pro-war policy to a pro-peace European policy.

That would be in everyone's interest."

Biden won't, can't even talk to Putin. The USA ended a peace treaty!

Putin called him a patriot. But who is Vadim Krasikov, a Russian released in the mass prisoner swap? - ABC News


https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/putin-called-patriot-vadim-krasikov-russian-released-mass-112480155

*They say Putin hugged Vadim Krasikov after his release and return to Mother Russia today.
My question:

Is Krasikov a "bad hitman" as alleged by those criticizing Biden for this exchange or is he a "good hitman" because Putin finds him huggable, a patriot and the killer of a dirty rotten b@$tard?



*Sometimes you guys speak out of both sides of your mouth simultaneously, which can happen at times like this when you are Biden haters and Putin fanboys.

---

This is Khangoshvili, the man that Krasikov assassinated:



Pro-Russian sources claim that this man, a Chechnian jihadi from Georgia, tortured and killed Russian POWs in pretty gruesome ways, allegedly by driving his car over their heads. If that is true, then it would explain why Russia would send a high-ranking hitman to kill Khangoshvili, Krasikov being a colonel in the FSB.

Well then Biden shouldn't be criticized for trading a bad hitman.

---

Agreed, but he's painted himself into a corner by characterizing Putin as a "killer" and painting Russians in general as cartoon villains.

Well, every single man, woman, and child that dies during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, died as a result of Vladimir Putin's unilateral and unjustified decision to initiate a war of conquest.

So yes, Putin is a killer.
