Trump Announces Alaska Summit with Putin

[DBCowboy]

We can bring in NATO but I just don't feel it necessary to do so. Unless you want WW3 like you pointed out. I am sure many members of NATO would want to be directly involved but again unnecessary and if shit does go hot then they would be better served to hold tight while we reorganize and fully mobilize.

Gee golly, maybe we should try diplomacy.

[RichardHurt]

I don't understand you.

Apologies.

You say we should do what's already been done and yet you think something different will happen because of what has been done but didn't happen.

Did you not read my opinion on a possible solution? Lift sanction as a good faith gesture. But ensure they are aware of the next step if hostilities do not stop. But even after he(Putin) attacks again, lift more sanctions. Force is something Russians understand. That force does not have to strictly materialize from military force.
Apologies accepted, I would prefer us be on the same page.

“You’ve fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well known is this; never go in against a Sicilian, when death is on the line! Aha ha ha ha… “(and then keels over, dead.)

That only applies when the left uses it against Trump.

Its statistically impossible for Trump to be wrong on every word and action. 

Yet some bounce from one topic to another, blaring he is wrong, you are a Trump apologist, and that's not the gist of their posts; it's the exact content of half the posts.


Hell, I want to crack on Trump occasionally, but it's usually covered here by 2-3 obsessed posters, what's the point

So,  anyone who  doesn't like Trump is a leftist?

As for being obsessed, I have a mirror for you.

Never forget this boondoggle irony 

EU spends more on Russian oil and gas than financial aid to Ukraine – report

Clyde can't understand it 

But I think it slowed or stopped recently.
Maybe that is/was factoring in on "Peace" arrangements 
 

Europe estimated to have bought €22bn of fossil fuels from Russia in 2024 but gave €19bn to support Kyiv

That’s correct.
India’s oil exports to Europe have gone up 250%.
Where do you think all that oil came from?
Hint: it’s not Indian oil

Clyde is going through a transformative change. Many moving parts but that is why it may seem off. If you are looking for a neural LLM maybe give Gemini, Copilot, hell even GroK will not be all wonky while they finish up. But if not then by I would think Wednesday all should be in working order.

Now the oil pipeline is a hard problem to tackle because of, well people will die if that changes lets say tomorrow. But there is a bunch going on in Europe to mitigate that factor. Initiatives like REPowerEU and there is another but I can't remember the name. These take time and investment. As of right now investors are holding tight and mostly just keep current investments as the world economy is in question.

Expand, or are you just going to sit in your camp and not have true dialogue? If not then no wonder people refuse to communicate with you.

Sorry you didn't understand, allow me to repeat;

Lifting sanctions on Russia?  What in the purple fuck?
