you might not get offended, but then you do not respond as well.
Well considering the irrefutable fact that this 'current' war and fighting, thus not peace, was started by "russia", it is very obvious that there is not going to be any peace without "russia". It obviously stands to reason, that until "russia" stops bombing and attacking another country there will obviously not be any peace.Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Sat Mar 01, 2025 11:09 pmIt's just the truth. He did it again, just 4 days ago, in fact.Oh. What nonsense.I'm not sure whether or not that's true. But if so, why should he be? He's no longer the elected representative of Ukraine: he shut down their elections. He's now an autocrat.
He has power. You're not going to get any peace without Russia.But Putin can participate because ???
LOLImmanuel Can wrote: ↑Sat Mar 01, 2025 11:09 pm But Zelensky's entirely unnecessary. His only power is whatever the US gives him, and no more.
LOL
LOL
So, EVERY one has NO power, unless only the "united states of america" gives 'power' to them. Well according to "immanuel can" anyway. "europe", "china", nor anyone else could give and provide 'power' to "ukraine".
Some people really could not get more blind and more closed and stupid, here.
Re: Trump is not offering peace in Ukraine
Some people, laughingly, actually believe that 'weapons and money' is power.phyllo wrote: ↑Sat Mar 01, 2025 11:29 pmWell that's Putin's and Trump's philosophy. Power is everything.He has power. You're not going to get any peace without Russia. But Zelensky's entirely unnecessary. His only power is whatever the US gives him, and no more.
Only people with power matter, only nations with power matter. All others are "unnecessary".
How Wrong these people, really, are.
Re: Trump is not offering peace in Ukraine
This one really does have a lot more to learn, here.
The majority of human beings.
Most people do not like witnessing and watching 'human beings' being bullied, and attacked. Especially by those who are bigger and/or have more money and/or more weapons.
And, you know this how, exactly?Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Sat Mar 01, 2025 11:43 pm He's only in power because he suspended the democratic process himself. Was that not an exercise of power?
you CLAIM that you do not get offended, but let 'us' see if you will respond, as well.
you will NOT answer and clarify HOW you 'know this'. It is, obviously, just your opinion and not supported by any evidence. As you will prove me True, here, once more.
How do you know that it would not have been voted in, again?

So, if you human beings are back in a so-called 'cold war', then this is because you adult human beings just did not STOP "yourselves" from trying to show 'your power' OVER others.

But, the reason why God, itself, does not 'intervene' is because you human beings are absolutely free to do absolutely any thing you like.
And, the reason for this is because you human beings learn best from and by 'your mistakes'.
See, there is NO rush NOR hurry AT ALL for God, Itself. There is no actual 'time' in eternity. So, it does not matter how long it takes a species, with intelligence, to learn from their mistakes, in order to live in peace and harmony, together, as One, (as it is heaven). And, it also does not matter, one iota, if A species wipes itself out completely, before they learn by and from 'their mistakes', because in eternity another species, with intelligence, WILL evolving into being created.
And, this is why 'I' do NOT 'poke', here.
Re: Trump is not offering peace in Ukraine
And just how do you know that? If the US would continue its support for Ukraine and Europe would increase its support, Russia could be stopped at least, maybe eventually even pushed back. Continuing to bleed out Russia in Ukraine, while not investing as much into the conflict as Russia, would be a strategic win for the US. But now Trump is trying to force both Ukraine and the US to lose.Age wrote: ↑Sun Mar 02, 2025 11:19 pmBut, 'who' is 'the loser', here, exactly?Atla wrote: ↑Sun Mar 02, 2025 3:58 pm The US/Western bloc and the Russians/SU have been lying to each other for over 40 years during the Cold war, deception is a basic part of warfare.

We'll never know. Zelensky did not negotiate, or even show willingness to be grateful to the US for what it had already done. He was rude and attempted to lecture. Very, very foolish behaviour. A little humility would have left him a place at the table; now he's excluded himself.
It's the people of Ukraine who will suffer for his hubris.![]()
one does not have to live, nor be, in a country to follow and support another human beings ideas and views.
