There have been 7 weeks of ceasefire this year. There would have been 0 under Biden.

Your reasons are just your opinion. One can look at most countries and come up with opinions why there might possibly eventually maybe be a regime change sometime in the undefined future.

Russia has finished retaking Kursk today, they are not in a bad situation.

In case you are not aware, there are ways to bet without the need to exchange any information linking to each other.

Suspend them until they prove their moral compass aligns with ours.

You may not personally defend Israel, and good for you if you don't defend them; however most countries in the EU are complicit in the genocide Israel has been committing and none of them have decided to actually sanction Israel for the numerous war crimes it has been committing for decades. So I ask you again, what is this EU moral compass you are talking about?

Yes it’s very unfortunate, but we got almost a two month ceasefire which we wouldn’t have gotten with the Biden administration…

America is not kneeling before Russia, America is doing what is best for America first.

Total destruction is what happens if you don't concede.

You’re right it probably doesn’t happen that way as Ukraine will concede before it happens.

The majority of Americans do not want to send more money and weapons to Ukraine. That has nothing to do with what Russia wants or does not want.

About 7 millions have fled, and that’s before the potential mass mobilization we’re discussing.

It might be an oversimplification but that’s the endgame Ukraine is facing.

Don’t be disingenuous, it was never about the support stopping when Russia wants it.

It’s about whether the support provided by the West will dwindle away or not.

The U.S. will have no problem to dramatically reduce support for Ukraine. European countries won’t make up the difference.

The moral compass of condemning the Israeli genocide and taking swift sanctions against them? Oh wait…

That short amount of time has devastating effects on the mental of the faster driver stuck behind the slower one.

Because there’s no reason for it to happen anytime soon.

This has nothing to do with power, it is about putting money where your mouth is, which shouldn’t be a problem if you are confident in what you’re saying. I would pay up if I lost the bet, are you saying you wouldn’t pay up if you lost a bet?

Can you avoid using derogatory terms against me? I’m willing to have a civil discussion with people of varied opinions, as long as it remains civil.

Ok so we agree Ukraine is withdrawing from Kursk because they got kicked out. It’s a pretty big deal considering Ukraine was relying on that to negotiate the exchange of territories with Russia during the negotiations; and now has lost that little leverage it had.

Russia is expanding its territory steadily, it might just be dirt today but it does not have to remain dirt in the future.

As much as yours…

That is the number of soldiers killed or injured in the war, thus who can no longer fight.

Yes Ukraine could maybe do a full scale mobilization, but that’s a very big risk because it would lead to so many more casualties the country might not be able to bounce back after the war.

Besides, Ukrainians might just avoid the draft and flee.

That’s right, people don’t want to die, so it’s not likely they will join the front when the chances of dying are even higher than they are today.

That’s right, Ukrainians wanted to use Kursk to trade against something else during the negotiations; soon they might not be able to do that anymore.

It's very unfortunate Israel has broken the ceasefire.

Ok so if you don’t believe Ukraine here, what other explanation is there to justify the withdrawal from Kursk.

We don’t have to listen to the Russian narrative, we can just think about why Ukrainians would withdraw.
