He added that the West must continue its support for Ukraine to pile more pressure on Putin.

Mr Drummond said: "The West is at a crossroads. Some people are saying Putin has won and the war in Ukraine is done. But other people are saying it is far from done.

"The longer we keep this pressure up, eventually we will cause a collapse of Russia from within.

"If the West lets Putin succeed in Ukraine, we will send the worst possible message to China. They will think 'We can invade Taiwan, and no one can stop us.'"

According to Ukraine, Russia has suffered over 500,000 casualties during the war.

Mr Drummond believes Putin's strategy is bringing the war in Ukraine closer to Russians at home.

He continued: "In simple mathematical terms, Putin is gambling that Ukraine will run out of bodies before he does. However, the sheer scale of the casualties he is taking means he will meet resistance internally due to burning the flower of Russian youth on the Ukrainian battlefield.

"It was reported recently that he lost 1,400 men in one day.

"There are pictures of these new graveyards in Russia. They are enormous, and they are really bringing the war home to Russians."

G7 meeting has taken place in Italy. It was decided that Ukraine should receive 50 billion US$ for reconstruction. Whose money? Russian money, taken from seized assets of the oligarchs and of Putin himself. This sounds a lot like fair karmic retribution!

“Group of Seven leaders were meanwhile gathering at their annual summit in Italy on Thursday and looked likely to announce that they have agreed at least in principle on plans to issue $50 billion of loans for Ukraine using interest from frozen Russian sovereign assets to back the multi-year debt package.”

See above quote; mccoy what I read is a slightly different spin on what is being done by G7.

[mccoy]

Actually, it is not clear in the details what will be done, I gather from the info that Ukraine will be loaned, in this case meaning it will be given, for free, money for reconstruction. The money will come from the interests of the Russian money frozen in European banks, plus other sources in America and UK. It is not told, but I believe that western companies will plan and carry out most of the reconstruction, so much of the money will flow back to Europe.
But again, the intention is clear, the details are not.

The risks for a larger war in Europe have been rising after Russian President Vladimir Putin “finally resorted to open conflict” in Ukraine, pursuing his aim to “recreate the Soviet empire,” said Gen. Wesley Clark (Ret.), who served as NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander Europe.

Vladimir Kara-Murza, a fierce critic of Vladimir Putin who was sentenced to 25 years in a Russian prison, was on his way to freedom after he was released during a prisoner swap when an FSB agent shared ominous parting advice.

"'Be careful about what you eat. You know how these things happen,'" Kara-Murza said he was told.

Kara-Murza had already survived two poisonings — first in 2015 and then again in 2017. He was then arrested in 2022 and tried for treason last year after denouncing Putin's war on Ukraine.

Kara-Murza knew the risks that come with speaking out against Putin, but he did it anyway.

"There are causes larger than ourselves. And to me, the cause of a free, peaceful, civilized and democratic Russia is certainly much larger than I could ever be," he said.

"It's amazing how fast the human body just loses everything, just loses all the strength and you just have to start anew," he said.

Freed Putin critic Vladimir Kara-Murza says Russia deserves better than "criminal, archaic KGB-led dictatorship"
Two years later, in 2017, he was poisoned again. This time, he went to the U.S., where his wife and three children live, to recover. Kara-Murza is a U.S. permanent resident.

But once he recovered, he returned to Russia.

"How could I not go back to Russia? I am a Russian politician. A politician has to be in their own country," Kara-Murza said. "How could I call on my fellow citizens and my fellow Russians to stand up and oppose this dictatorship if I myself was too scared to do it? How is that possible?"

Kara-Murza continues speaking out as Putin cracks down
Kara-Murza says all of Putin's opponents are either in exile, in prison, or dead.

Shortly after Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine in 2022, lawmakers passed a law imposing a 15-year prison sentence for those who criticize the war.

"We tried to warn the world. We tried to shout," Kara-Murza said. "We tried to get the message out that this regime is dangerous, that this man is dangerous."

Let us be clear here about who is the dictator and who invaded who.

[mccoy]

Bernie Sanders is just enunciating obvious facts.

Nobody really minds about Mr. Trump distorting the truth, because he often does it, and everyone with a minimum of computer literacy can verify the facts from his inaccuracies.

What minds is the substance, the gist, is the POTUS going to obtain peace or not in Ukraine? From this his credibility and image depend.

This will be a proof of his abilities. He has been repeating, peace in Ukraine in 24 hours, in the latest meeting at the Oval Office Zelenski has acted like a pampered child and Trump failed to remain calm and focused, as he should have in such a very high-level public meeting.

I'm not concerned about the obvious details Mr. Sanders is repeating, I'm concerned with results, real results, relative to stopping an ugly war that has been going on for too long now.

What possible peace can exist with a man that throws all his opponents in jail? What possible peace can be obtained by a man who wipes out all his dissent? What possible peace can be made with a man who hires killers to poison ☠️ people who disagree with him in other countries?! What possible peace can be made with a man who invades other countries around him with immunity?

The only people that don’t mind Dishonest Don telling distortions of truth are those people who do not care about truth but rather convenience as an alternative to truth. And a false narrative as a substitution for what really has happened. People will accept anything for a cheap solution which will never truly replace the problem at hand and that is we have authoritarian leaders in both Russia and the U.S. today that must be removed before any constructive solutions will be achieved.

Bernie Sanders does not deal the cards.

Zelensky does not deal the cards.

They may talk their platitudes as long as they wish, it's an exercise in perfect futility.

Mr. Zelensky is a true war hero, but he has shown to be a very poor diplomat. He has been pampered by European countries and the leftists Americans led by Biden. This may be his ruin. But maybe it's not too late.

His attitude may cause further ruin and doom to his country. Putin is a murderer, but Mr. Zelenski will be an accomplice to the mass murder if he goes ahead with his stubbornness.

[Jitendra Hydonus]

This is not a card game. It is foolish to attempt to put it in such belittling terms. As much as commentators would like to defend Trump in his bombastic manner of talking over a peaceful man with his bull dog tactics and his thug Vice President who continuously attacked Zelenskyy’s character. Even though Zelenskyy showed respect and gratitude, I really see no reason to give respect to two thugs supporting an evil empire and attempting to continue rein terror on its citizens. Karoline Leavitt is not representative of the patriots to democracy I know-she is speaking for dictatorship and only puppets the dictatorial regime we presently face in the U.S. It is not President Zelenskyy that fails to recognize the pragmatic realities but instead Trump and Vance that fail to recognize we are not dealing cards but we are dealing with a living monster 👿 that is  Putin and his evil war mongers. Besides we have already dealt with four years of Trumps so called peace attempts and promises for peace with Afghanistan. He is incapable to deliver on his bombastic promises and is a total failure in delivering peace including in his own country!

The White House secretary also supported Trump in his ability to negotiate peace terms with his European cohorts which was a total disaster since they are completely at odds with him about how to handle the invasion by Putin. In fact Trump and Vance will be responsible for the end of NATO as we know have known it in the past. It is quite evident to me that Trump and Vance have no respect or appreciation for the Ukrainian people who have valiantly fought for freedom and democracy when they have done nothing, not even lifted a finger to to do the same! In fact they are working against freedom and democracy in their support of Vlamir Putin.

I find MArco Rubio's words very eloquent and explicative.

Zelenski: as a statesman, he has always been a pampered kid with an attitude. Too much reverence in Europe ruined him. He's got to change his ways, if he wants to save his country.

Rubio spreads debunk election lies.

https://www.factcheck.org/2024/05/rubio-spreads-debunked-2020-election-fraud-claims/

In a May 19 interview on NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” Sen. Marco Rubio made misleading and unsubstantiated claims about election fraud in states lost by then-President Donald Trump in 2020.

In 2015, Rubio defended the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq at a time when there was near consensus in Washington that it was a mistake. We have since found that Sadam Hussein never had weapons of mass destruction and the multiple war initiatives of Bush spun the U.S. on a 20 year war in Afghanistan as well. These wars left the U.S. with a continuous presence in the Mideast and certainly no type of peace Rubio is talking about today.
