@@davereynolds3403 Who's going to stop them?

@davereynolds Hawaii - a US territory since 1898 - became the 50th state in August 1959, following a referendum in Hawaii in which more than 93% of the voters approved the proposition that the territory should be admitted as a state. There were many Hawaiian petitions for statehood during the first half of the 20th century.

⁠@@davereynolds3403Hellooo! Hawaii voted in a public referendum to join the US. It wasnt grabbed or invaded. Can you understand the difference? Youre welcome.

Alaska literally was Russia before it was US

You are out of your mind !

Also, Ukraine is a sovereign nation and can teach the Ukrainian language and only the Ukrainian language ; it is their right as a free and sovereign nation. What if the USA decides to teach English and only English in their public schools, would Mexico or other Spanish speaking nations attack USA because their people are under attack or feel alienated ? This war has gone on for long enough; people died and families lost loved ones.

Yep, we don't want that. But Ukraine is losing. There may be a point where they make territorial concessions rather than collapsing entirely. Just ask the draft dodgers... Ukrainians don't REALLY want to fight and die for their country. Only very few, and they are beyond exhausted.

@@DmitriyK12 Actually, while Russia is exaggerating on these claims, it's perfectly reasonable to expect tuition in your native language. And quite a large part of Ukrainians speak Russian as a native language. It's not always practical to teach native languages in schools, for example in the US, but there are attempts all over the US to at least increase bilingual teaching, for example in Spanish, French, Navajo or Hawaiian and others.

​@BrianHamilton-zv6on lol a Jewish guy. Jesus you people are sad

@s0ycapitan lol Russia invaded and that's why, Ukraine wasn't nato bound until Russia broke treatise. So this is all on Russia. All of it.

Dwight Eisenhower wrote; "If in 10 years, all American troops stationed in Europe for national defense purposes have not been returned to the United States,” he wrote of NATO in 1951, “then this whole project will have failed." Thats not isolationist, it's "non-colonial".

no, it is a sane response to decades of failed Western intervention. Why should anyone continue a policy that leads to failure or continue listening to losers who failed in every war for the last 30 years?

Mr. Trump isn't an isolationist. He wasn't his first time in the W.H. and there is no reason to believe he'd be any different today. As for the Olympics? I don't think he tried out for them. Trump isn't a fool. He understands America's place on this Globe. He just loves the USA and so he should, as does J.D. Vance, and frankly, myself too.

True. Increased NATO spending started before Trump. He's had some influence but not as much as people say.

Both Trump and Obama were urging European countries to increase the spending and take Russia as a threat. Obama got politely ignored and Trump got smugly ignored.

Not the majority in the USA. Just a few ignorant types on the isolationist fringe. Unfortunately, JD Vance appears to fall in that category. One has to hope that he will come around as he becomes better informed.

​@@RichardTaylor1630 he can't come around. He accepted billionaires money to be in the place he is in now. He has to follow the billionaires view of things

The only thing promised, was "assistance.' I think we can safely say the US has done that.

In the US, neither the George H.W. Bush administration nor the Clinton administration was prepared to give a military commitment to Ukraine, and they did not believe the US Senate would ratify an international treaty and so the memorandum was adopted in more limited terms.

Yes we did

You should have used an exclamation mark instead of a question mark! You are right, it should not be a US decision!

@@suzannekiraly4480 Who should decide US foreign policy then?

Absolutely.

They've wanted to talk all along, and Johnson scuppered peace talks on orders from the US, when the West is willing to talk you know the West knows they cant win anymore.

@@user-rv4ob4tg9x it could definitely be a stalling thing, but doing this in the middle of the Russia friendly RNC convention is suspicious. Can't trust Russia

@obzurb5580 wrong, they have wanted Ukraine to surrender. That's not talking, that's called demanding capitulation

lol delusional. The only advances in the battlefield are being made by the Russians. But to answer your question, The Russians are calling for negotiations to divide the west politcially, not out of any significant change in the battlefield.

They weren't of any use as Moscow had the launch codes.

@@fatalexception1269 "Launch codes" are just software. Ukrainian engineers are clever enough that they could have disabled the launch codes and written new software for those missiles. "Prior to the German invasion, Ukraine and UIPhT was home to some of the top physicists working on nuclear science in the entire Soviet Union. While the war and German occupation meant that the core effort to develop an atomic bomb would take place in Russia, rather than Ukraine, Ukrainian scientists like F. Lange were involved in the Soviet nuclear complex and had a hand in its success." (Wilson Center)

@@RichardTaylor1630 not quite. It's not software, it's firmware.....research it, its embedded microcode and not a solution unless you replace the hardware.

Ukraine believed America when our ambassadors and leader told them we would protect them when faced with a threat of aggression.

Let's set this record straight: Ukraine declared itself to be a state without nuclear weapons, not to seek possession of, develop or acquire nuclear wespons already in 1990. This was ratified in 1991, by the Ukrainian Rada, when the Soviet Union disintegrated. Yet somehow it took until 1994 to agree to remove the nuclear weapons they had stated wasn't theirs, they didn't control, and thst they did not want. The US state department was so irritated they likened it to blackmail. So let's not fantasize about retaining weapons that weren't theirs.

Those people follow the lies they hear from Generals that speak out of a narratief !

Vance is an amoral sycophant.

Vance has actually not said that he "doesn't care about the lives of Ukrainian women and children." He just complains about the cost for the USA to protect them. In my view, Vance is persuadable to come around to support for Ukraine as he becomes better educated, just as Mike Johnson did.

@@Deathadder90 Europe has a history of relying on India, Africa, No. America, Asia to defend it. Those days are kinda over.

@@icu17siberia You seem to forget that Europe has always done the majority of any fighting by itself. Come back when you've educated yourself.

Absolutely. What seems to be lacking in all these 'views' is what the Ukrainians want to happen with their country. It's up to them what they will accept- not us, not NATO and not the USA. They will not, ever, cede territory to Russia, even if they have to fight with sticks.

The sensible view now is for Russia to be granted the land it feels to be rightfully its own, and for the slightly smaller Ukraine to obtain the democratic freedom it apparently wants.

I agree. Agreements to help defend what is left of Ukraine won't be worth the paper they are written on if previous agreements are anything to go by. Few in Eastern Europe will feel reassured, and Russian interference in the political narrative of Europe will continue. The price in Russia is being paid by the average person and until they, or the Oligarchs, have had enough of Putin's regime this imperialist expansion will continue, in Europe, in Africa and in the Middle East. Russia is on the verge of losing this war. They are running out of the equipment to wage war. Within a year or two, their ability to wage war will be exhausted, and their economy will be in shreds. If we want to end this quickly, we should supply the Ukrainians with the equipment they need in the quantities they need and stop putting restrictions on how they should use it. Do that and Russia will cease to be a problem for several generations.
