I don't think Zelensky would or could end the war by giving into Russian demands. I don't think it is politically acceptable in Ukraine to do so.
They don't have elections, so he's not getting voted out. He also said he's willing to step down. I think it's more that he's happy to keep the money flowing. Some of you may die, but that's a sacrifice he's willing to make.
Russia is going to carve out a sphere of influence for itself and return the favor to the West which is what I'm afraid of.
Absolutely no one cared about Crimea or Georgia, but for some reason crossing the border into an already hot warzone made Western media panic, and EU and US throw very large sums of money at Ukraine. All leftist media and political parties. Any favors Putin intends to return to NATO or EU members would be an escalation that no one wants, including Putin.

He lacks the ability to tie his own shoes without three aids, what did anyone expect :LOL:
Yeah, I have a very bad opinion about him after he did so much stupid stuff with Elon Musk and Vance. President Biden may be too old and has made other mistakes, but he treated everyone with respect, even Trump. I believe he was a very honorable man, while the other one was just blaming everyone, pointing fingers, and so on.

Believe it or not, he had a plan. It just didn't work. The tariff plan backfired on him. He also seems to make a lot of bold statements he never follows through on. Who wants to go from thirty dolls (or anything else) to two? I'm not sure why he thought that was going to impress anyone at all.

There's a lot of government waste and fraud. So I actually like that Musk is at least making an attempt to stop some of it. Everything Vance does is mostly pointless rhetoric. Like Biden under Obama.
President Biden may be too old and has made other mistakes, but he treated everyone with respect, even Trump.
Obama was respectful too, and speaks in an eloquent way, and was given the Nobel Peace Prize, while bombing civilians. So peaceful. I'm less concerned with the outward veneer, and more concerned with what they actually do.
I believe he was a very honorable man, while the other one was just blaming everyone, pointing fingers, and so on.
He is corrupt and a liar. He promised not to pardon his son, and as soon as it was obvious the election was over and there were no negative consequences for doing so, he pardoned him, and a bunch of his other cronies.

All politicians take credit for positive things they didn't do, and blame their political opponents for negative things they were responsible for.

This video clouds my opinion of Ukrainian leadership and Zelensky:
Is it translated correctly? That video makes it look like he isn't a President of anything.

If I die in a conflict with Russia, so goes the world. American nuclear posture is to nuke the rest of the world so no one else can supplant the US globally. I think there are people in the US who want to destroy Russia, break it apart, and sale it off. They tried to do it after the fall of the Soviet Union but Putin prevented them. That is why they hate him so much. Putin may not want to escalate but he has mentioned providing weapons to other countries to do just that, hoping the West blinks. The West is a mess. It can't provide enough arms for Ukraine. I think the Europeans are using Russia as an adversary to maintain unity. The US has a huge military industrial complex and Russia is a convenient foe for it to enrich itself off of. Georgia, Crimea, the Donbas, etc are just places to spark wars to make money off of. Americans aren't doing the fighting or dying. The Ukrainians are. It is sad. Every creature fights over territory. The Ukrainians have a right to fight for their land just as much as the Russians have a right to fight for their people. Ukraine got some money but most of it went back to the US military industrial complex. We bought ourselves new stuff while unloading the old stuff onto Ukraine!

If I translated everything correctly, then I want to declare my love for you 😁

Started working on my appeal paper and realized the housing court removed me from ALL search results with the court documents...even took off my dads ancient eviction :LOL:

Idk wtf they were trying to accomplish but I have the original copies of everything anyway. They really have no shame or limits though, such a fucking disgrace.

He acts like he is oblivious to the fact that Ukraine is a proxy war between the US and Russia.
My TV don't say that.

It's not a secret:

"This war and suffering could have easily been avoided if Biden Admin/NATO had simply acknowledged Russia’s legitimate security concerns regarding Ukraine’s becoming a member of NATO, which would mean US/NATO forces right on Russia’s border"

Tulsi and RFK Jr. are sane and knowledgeable. Unfortunately, neither of them is POTUS. Trump has people like Kellogg and Rubio too. Trump was President from Jan 20, 2017 to Jan 20, 2021. He armed Ukraine. He helped Ukraine prepare to retake the Donbas. He got impeached for trying to horse trade military aid to Ukraine for opposition research on Biden concerning his dealings in Ukraine while Vice President. The issue of NATO expansion goes back to Bill Clinton. Biden just carried the torch that his predecessors gave him to its predetermined destination.

Trump's special envoy to Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, wants to stick NATO countries in Ukraine like France and Britain, creating a frozen conflict. Russia isn't going to agree to that. Trump ran away from his pronouncement that only he can make peace after his recent phone call with Putin, denied asking for a 30 day unconditional ceasefire that Zelensky and the European leaders gleefully used to try to argue that Russia doesn't want peace, and then he said the Russians and Ukrainians are going to have to figure out how to end this conflict between themselves because he isn't knowledgeable enough to do it for them.

I have a question. I bought DmC: Devil May Cry, Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition, and Devil May Cry 5. Do I need to get and play Devil May Cry HD Collection first? Does it matter what order I play the games? I've never played a Devil May Cry game before.

I decided to get them in this bundle along with a few other games: Build your own Capcom Legends Bundle | Fanatical

There is a story to them, but its not really required, no. They are each separate although you might be lost on some references.

DMC: Devil May Cry for example is before the HD collection when Dante is younger story wise.

DMC4 and DMC5 have different characters you can use and are generally more based on Nero than Dante (the protagonist from the HD collection)

That being said you might get your ass handed to you in DMC 4/5 without some practice if you've never played one before.

I was actually going to grab that bundle for Remember Me, but I own literally almost every other game in it :LOL:

In any case the series is iconic, your in for a good time.

Thanks for the explanation! I'll start with DMC: Devil May Cry! I was sad that the HD Collection wasn't in the bundle. I had Resident Evil 1 and 4 HD, and Mega Man Legacy Collection. I decided to get Mega Man Legacy Collection 2, RE 5 and 6, and Remember Me too. Remember Me looked interesting. I was tempted to get a Dead Rising game instead since I've never played one before.

Hopefully, there will be another bundle around this price with Ghost Trick and the DMC HD Collection so I can complete my collection!

Good choice, beware the camera angles though...in my experience going from PS3 to PC, they kind of screwed it up on those (it may have been my generic controller though tbh), either way its more forgiving than the other 2 games in my opinion.
Remember Me looked interesting. I was tempted to get a Dead Rising game instead since I've never played one before.
Those are the ones I was considering, being all i'm missing. I've played Remember Me before as well, it is a good game...although it lacks the combat customization that DMC gives you--its good in its own way.

I've never played dead rising myself so idk there 🤷‍♂️
