You forgot one part - not only could they have negotiated a settlement before the war, it would have been a much better outcome in terms of not only lives but territory. They lost Mariupol and the land bridge area, which they could have otherwise maintained. Putin was very happy to denude Mariupol of its population so that it looks like post-WW II Konigsberg, wiped from the map in terms of its prior existence, and backfilled with ethnic Russians.
Absolutely correct assessment. The US’s big mistake was in not either including the Russian Federation into the NATO Alliance after the voluntary deconstruction of the USSR or dissolving it altogether as a pointless endeavor. The MIC and the political hacks that dream of profits and global hegemony will regret their shortsightedness in the end. My prediction: There will NOT BE A NEGOTIATED SETTLEMENT IN UKRAINE, the Russian Federation will no longer tolerate threats to its security from an obviously hostile West and WILL dictate the terms under which hostilities end as per President Putin’s previous statements or Ukraine will cease to exist as an independent state.
The Soviet Union actually wasn't voluntarily deconstructed. A few months prior to its dissolution, a referendum was held on whether to keep the Soviet Union together and three quarters of the people voted that the Soviet Union should remain together with some reforms. The country was illegally dissolved by a Capitalist, Anti-Communist, pro-Western faction that had gained power.
As for your prediction, it's certainly plausible. I personally think it's more likely that Russia will formally annex Crimea, the Donbass and Eastern Ukraine and install a more friendly government in Kyiv. Ultimately, we'll have to wait and see what happens next.
The proxy war in Ukraine wasn't a failure or a defeat.
Arms manufacturers, defense contractors and fossil fuel companies made a profit off the war.
Wall Street will make a profit off rebuilding Ukraine.
Europe has now been pushed into the arms of the American Empire and NATO.
And with Russia being pushed closer to China and the emergence of an international, anti-Western bloc, the West now has an excuse to continue with its aggression all over the world and build a new Cold War.
The proxy war in Ukraine was a tremendous success.
Absolutely correct. This is a shocking tale and result. It would never have happened if DJT’s second term was not stolen. Now he has to come in and clean up the mess. The sooner the better. The Puppet Government should be replaced by the next legitimate Government. ASAP. No time to wait for formalities. Peace Accord Now ! Not in January. All our lives are at stake and depend upon it. Fast Track Please. No more appeasing.
First, the 2020 election wasn't stolen. This was just something Trumpists came up with to complain about Trump losing. The reason he lost was because of Covid.
Second, I really don't buy the idea that Russia wouldn't have invaded Ukraine if Trump was president. After all, Trump was actually incredibly hawkish towards Russia including sending weapons to Ukraine.
Third, Trump is putting anti-Russia hawks in his cabinet.
Like, where were they two months ago. This is why you can’t despise the elites enough. Despise and never trust them then pay more attention to what your reps do in congress then change your voting accordingly.
Is there any form of violent death not aggressive enough for dispatching Victoria Nuland? The amount of unneeded death that follows this neocon demon is staggering.
It appears the old notion that democratic nations can never start wars is dead as well. But are we still in actuality still a democratic nation in republican form? We need to wake up to the fact that we have been for some time a de facto fascist oligarchy under the control of globalist elites in almost all facets of governance and control. Where this goes is up to those who have had the ability to see through the facade and to call it out. This will end with either the erasure of the last vestiges of the republic and the consolidation of power by the elites or a national Reformation founded upon unity and a return to the founding principles of the nation. Whether or not Americans are still capable of unity will determine the outcome.
Clear and simple! A crime that will have benefited only the military-industrial complex and the rapacious predators greedy for power. The worst thing is that the leaders, not content with sowing tears and destruction, are engaging in warlike escalations that risk leading to a final explosion...
War is a racket, and also act as diversions from the "warp speed" democide. There are many morons guilty of premeditated murder, who will soon go to hell for eternity.
So, do not blame the morons! Look yourself in the mirror and ask what you want to do for yourself, your family and friends, and for the future generations!
Where were they?
MOST LIKELY. BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. COUNTING. THEIR. ILL-GOTTEN GAINS

Money laundering and the almighty war machine IMO
There will be consequences. Russia will now exploit our foolishness. Putin, the 6 trillion dollar man and Russia is better, stronger and faster.
Well, as long as he doesn't have T-80s rolling up the Squam Road from Quidnet, attacking Wauwinet, all will be well in the garden... :-D
“Criminal aggression”? I think not.

I fail to understand why Americans want Putin gone and an unknown hardliner in his place. His record is fairly stable if cruel and merciless.
Do not American presidents assassinate their enemies?
I’m hoping Putin rules Russia for another 25 years or more.
Your session obvious Vladimir Fluffer boy. Legitimate journalist use their name.
Great idea, as long as Ukraine gets to creep all of it annexed land including Crimea. Otherwise we should've waxed Putin and his little Cabal long ago

Biden controlled the media, now they are trying to appease the population
