Strange times we live in. The state will not impose the death penalty on the likes of the scum who murdered and maimed the children in Southport and others of a similar ilk, especially murderous terrorists…but is strongly contemplating the culling of the sick or old or vulnerable people. Strange – and frightening times – indeed.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2025/03/01/starmer-tells-zelensky-you-are-welcome-to-10-downing-street/
Lets face it, anyone is welcome to No 10 esp those with big pockets to fill with downtrodden taxpayers cash! How can the Downing Street tool say, on behalf of Britain, that Britain supports the scruffy 2nd rate actor? The despised two-tier and his degenerate party and government most definitely do not have the backing of the people.
How J.D. Vance and an old Trump grudge led to disaster for Zelensky
Or not really.
The key to this negotiation is Zelensky’s standing in Ukraine.
Consider this:
‘I don’t understand how Zelensky held back from slapping him. Glory to Ukraine!’
‘Forto,’ infantryman.
‘In reality, realizing the inability to influence Moscow, they decided to shift the blame for the disruption of the peace process, in a rather primitive way, onto Ukraine, while at the same time trying to blackmail (Zelensky) in a very rude way. You can have different attitudes towards Zelensky, but at the meeting he was the president of a warring Ukraine and they insulted the Ukrainians.’
Petro Kuzyk, a battalion commander at the National Guard
‘I am in f**king shock. Me and all my guys support Zelensky, I would do the same if I were him, I am very disappointed in Trump and the United States. I can’t even find the words to express my disappointment, let him openly express his support for Putin and impose some sanctions on us or whatever he wants. F**k him, and JD Vance and (Elon) Musk. And in my opinion, (Russian forces in Pokrovsk area) are running out of steam, because they keep getting their asses kicked here.’
Bart, special forces sniper Pokrovsk direction
‘….everyone knows that (Russian President Vladimir) Putin started the war, it is Russian troops who attack Ukrainian cities every day, and not the other way around. Ukrainians want peace, because it is in our country that war is going on, our people are dying. We are grateful to the people of the United States and other countries for their support, and we are ready to share our resources for the sake of peace, but we must have some serious guarantees that Putin will not attack again. Once upon a time, we took our allies at their word and gave up nuclear weapons — and what did it lead to? In my opinion, President Zelensky behaved with dignity, despite all the circumstances of this meeting. I support him…’
‘Mamai,’ infantryman eastern Ukraine
‘Maybe President Trump doesn’t understand, but we are very thankful to the American people, and to Great Britain, France, Poland, everyone who has helped us. But if the whole world stopped supporting us tomorrow, we won’t stop our struggle — we’ll still try to save our families, our children, our wives, our houses, our country, our independence, and our nation.’
Myroslav Hai, officer Ukrainian army
‘Trump, as a businessman, is simply suggesting trading our regions for peace. That’s quite a concept. Imagine if France had told the thirteen colonies to give up part of their territories to the British for the sake of peace because they had weak bargaining power. It looks like an old dictator helping his old friend get what he wants.’
Vadym, Ukrainian soldier fighting near Pokrovsk
These are the guys who count…..and they are not playing cards…….
If you can’t win them over, then you will have war….forever……..Even if all of Ukraine is lost, they will have safe havens across the many borders, and plenty of weapons, an insurgency in Eastern Europe for the foreseeable future. Russia does not have enough men to cover the whole of Ukraine.
Early days…..very early days……
‘Ukraine’s fundraising initiative “for nuclear weapons” was supported by 61 countries.
After Ukraine, most donations come from the United States and Poland
Fundraising for the production of nuclear weapons for Ukraine, at the request of Ukrainians, was launched by Monobank co-founder Oleh Gorokhovsky.
He announced this on his Telegram channel.
Less than in 24 hours, the campaign raised over UAH 26 million £500,000), as of 8 p.m. on Saturday. Donations came not only from Ukrainians — over 60 countries supported the initiative.
According to the Ukrainian banker, most foreign donations came from the US and the EU.
“About 70,000 participants from 61 countries. After Ukraine, the US donates the most, followed by Poland.’
‘The businessman told the BBC Ukraine on March 1, that the fundraiser for “nuclear weapon” was a joke to “blow off some steam” after a tough day……the fundraiser will last only one day, after which the collected money will be given to volunteers to purchase drones or meet humanitarian needs for the front line. Gorokhovsky emphasized that he had not coordinated his initiative with the Ukrainian authorities in any way.
However, he does not rule out that he will join the financing of nuclear development in the future if the authorities raise this issue……..’
Great, wonderful. Let those nuclear weapons fly. Let’s all die for Ukraine!
Monro, what’s the alternative to Trump’s plan for a ceasefire and a peace deal? How will this war ever end if not through compromise and a peace deal?
Do you hope Russia will be defeated and retreat? If so, when do you think this might happen?
Until then, how many more lives will be lost, and how much more money will be spent on war and destruction?
How would you like to see this war ending, in the real world, not in some fantasy world?
As you have been so focused on this war, and posted so much about it, I’d like you to attempt genuine answers to these specific questions, and resist the urge to answer them with further questions which are not answers.
I have made it clear on here that I am very much in favour of peace and I commend President Trump for his bold initiative.
But it is the Ukrainians fighting the war that have to be convinced.
They will never stop unless a ceasefire leads to a peace deal backed with iron clad guarantees.
President Trump is correct. It is Europe that has to step up…but it will not, so the war will go on.
We should not be surprised. This war has been going on and off since the mid nineteenth century, if not before.
How to stop it? Cut off Russia’s revenue stream either by neutralising their illegal maritime oil supply routes or by reducing the price of oil to $45/barrel and the war stops. Reconstitute Europe’s conventional deterrent, every NATO member spending 5% on defence and give Ukraine solid security guarantees (they are not entitled to join NATO as a consequence of their border disputes). The U.S. will back that. We know that works because we have done it before. It resulted in the ‘Long Peace’ in Europe 1945-2014.
President Trump’s idea of a big U.S. commercial presence in Ukraine is a good one…..but that has been tried before:
‘The controversial Pentagon task force in charge of much of the effort, the Task Force for Business Stability Operations, spent $215 million on 11 extractive programs, but “after operating in Afghanistan for 5 years, TFBSO left with nearly all of its extractive projects incomplete,”
The U.S. have a track record of simply ‘bugging out’ at no notice.
Ukraine needs iron clad guarantees. No-one gave them in 1994. No-one reacted in 2014. Europe will do nothing now….so why should Ukraine stop fighting?
As I say above and have said before, maybe they will eventually lose most of their country but they will not stop, have not stopped for over a hundred and fifty years. 92% of Ukraine voted for independence.
That is nationalism, red in tooth and claw, and, as Russia has just seen in Syria, it cannot be beaten…..
Monro, are you in favour of a ceasefire now?
If not now, when?
There is scarcely a person on the planet who is not in favour of an immediate ceasefire.
And I share that view but my view is, frankly, inconsequential.
The real question is: a temporary or permanent ceasefire?
Putin would like a temporary ceasefire.
Ukraine would like a permanent ceasefire with guarantees because a temporary ceasefire is very much to their disadvantage.
Ukraine was let down in 2014 and again in 2022. They were given security assurances in 1994, in exchange for surrendering their nuclear warheads, which proved worthless. They will fight on and develop nuclear weapons if Europe does not now step up…..
And it will not.
Zelensky is clearly not in favour of an immediate ceasefire, whereas Trump and Vance clearly are.
I’m glad to see that you agree with Trump and Vance, and not with Zelensky, on this issue of a ceasefire now.
I believe in peace through deterrence. We are where we are because of the delusional ‘peace dividend’.
Zelensky believes in a ceasefire with guarantees. He knows that if Ukrainian forces return to barracks, Putin will simply regroup and go again.
A ceasefire without guarantees will make things worse not better.
If Putin breaks a ceasefire, he has to be punished and that requires iron clad guarantees….
And Putin will never accept that, which is why those guarantees are not on offer.
Will Europe ever offer those guarantees without the U.S.?
No. They will not, cannot, because of the stupidity of their leaders over the last 35 years.
And what if Ukraine breaks the ceasefire?
“If Putin breaks a ceasefire, he has to be punished and that requires iron clad guarantees….”
Even if it means World War Three? Nuclear war?
Which is why Putin will never accept a ceasefire with guarantees.
Monro, correct me if I’m wrong, but your attitude and more importantly, Zelensky’s attitude appears to be that we cannot trust Putin, therefore we have to keep fighting Russia until Russia is defeated.
How long is that going to take? Seriously, when, realistically will Ukraine and allies have defeated Russia?
Those two statements are independent of each other.
Zelensky knows he cannot trust Putin. He has negotiated with him before.
We are not fighting Russia, despite Putin’s agents having killed and wounded British citizens on British soil using enough Novichok to kill thousands.
Ukraine is fighting Russia for its survival so Ukrainians will never cease that fight until a ceasefire is agreed with guarantees in place.
The idea of U.S. Companies engaging in Ukraine after a ceasefire is a good one. I’m sure it is being further fleshed out in order to provide stronger guarantees……
But this is not going to come to a conclusion for some time, if at all.
All the countries bordering Russia know exactly what is going on and have reacted since 2022 accordingly.
A defeat for Putin is as dangerous as a victory. Putin has to be contained, not defeated. America will not do it, has not done it. Why should they?
Europe should do it but is weak and divided and will not do it.
So conflict will continue on and off for the foreseeable future just as it has for the last two centuries.
I find that situation just as unpleasant as the next man. I have looked over the iron curtain, looked the East German border guards in the eye. I do not want this country to fall under the sway of Putin’s regime.
If we do not rearm, that is the future that awaits our children…..and we will not
The Russians have clearly stated that they will not agree to a ceasefire and that they want a final peace deal signed and in place before they will stand down their forces. The West has shafted Russia too many times for the Russians to lower their guard yet again.
Sorry to present you downvoters with some inconvenient truths.
Well said.
Actually that’s pretty much what happened in WWII between Britain and the US. Britain had to give the US territories in exchange for material support (prior to Pearl Harbour).
I suppose it’s a different world now. After 80 years of socialism as we have had in the west, people have grown accustomed to the idea that they are owed things by others and should get what they decide they need paid for by others.
I would ask your Forto, Petro, Mamai, Myroslav and Vadym how many innocent civilians, primarily pensioners, women and children, they killed before the SMO? Perhaps they were also in Odessa helping to slaughter the peaceful demonstrators by burning them alive in the Trade Union Centre? Are they proud of the monuments set up in Donetsk, Luhansk, and other places, in memory of all the children killed by Ukrainian shelling before there was any Russian intervention?
Every boy learns in his school playground if you fight someone bigger and more powerful than yourself, you will likely get hurt. I have no sympathy for anyone so stupid as to take on the Russian armed forces, and for what? For a pathetic actor renowned for supposedly playing a piano with his penis? For the Banderite Nazis? Who the hell do these people think they are?
You are not fighting for your country, you are fighting for Nazism. Ukraine lived peacefully side by side with Russia and there were never any problems until you Banderites started reliving WWII.
As Trump repeatedly said, you have had 3 years and several hundred billion dollars to sort this problem out, and you have not succeeded. There is no sign of you ever succeeding. You could have had peace as early as April 2022 but were so utterly dumb as to believe you could win against Russia, a country with massive resources and 4 times the manpower.
OK, the West, the oh so glorious West, promised you never-ending support, money and arms to the last Ukrainian, and you believed it. That was the same West, at least the same USA, that blew up the Nord Stream pipeline, thereby destroying Germany’s access to cheap energy. And Puppet Scholz stood next to Biden nodding his assent. Also Ursula fond of Lying sided with Ukraine and USA, and decided Europe should buy expensive LNG from USA. So now most of Europe is broke and in a downward spiral, to a large extent because of Ukraine and Biden’s perverted sense of honour (his drug-consuming son worked for the Ukrainian energy company, Burisma) and his age-old hatred of Russia, stemming from the glorious days of the Cold War.
Also this war will have an end and historians will look back and wonder once more, just why was everyone so stupid?
Can J.D. Vance be part of the peace talks?
The real question is: can J.D. Vance be the next U.S. President?
Not any more……
He just blew it………
Well, I hope he’s the next president. So far, I like what I see.
Bookmakers don’t agree with you. Vance is the hot favourite:
JD Vance 12/5
Josh Shapiro 9/1
Gavin Newsom 11/1
Pete Buttigieg 12/1
Gretchen Whitmer 13/1
Ron DeSantis 13/1
https://www.paddypower.com/politics?tab=usa
You will see.
Well, if you keep on making these crazy predictions, one of them is bound to be right. However, this one is a long shot, especially until the dems come up with a credible alternative.
I would say JD is a good shield for the Donald. Who would want Trump dead when hard man Vance will take over!
You’re making the assumption that his stance on Ukraine will put off more people than it attracts, and that this is going to make a significant difference to the next election. If you’re really confident about your prediction, how much money have you bet at the bookmakers that he WON’T be next POTUS?
US Presidential elections have been pretty close in the popular vote for a long time, and will probably continue to be so. There are many factors in play. I honestly can’t see that this will be a defining issue for an election, in 4 years time.
The odds will be much better in four years time.
Sounds like you are hedging your bets to me
I have been wrong many many times. That is why I am not a betting man.
But I was correct in 2014 when I said elsewhere that, if we did nothing, Putin would go again.
What was Vance saying then, do you think?
And the odds on Vance becoming the next President will be a great deal better in 2027.
But Ukraine did something. They reneged on their promises for Donbas and started a military campaign against them.
I didn’t pay much attention to what Vance specifically said. I understand the general direction of the current regime’s intentions. Please donate some of your winnings to the cause because we will need it if Vance loses.
It feels like Zelensky is this season’s Greta. Feted by politicians worldwide and snubbed by Trump.
Well he can certainly wear a suit when it, erm…suits;
”Zelenskyy is an actor and his role as a slovenly dressed freedom fighter, far too busy battling tyrants with his bare hands on the frontlines to consider decorum is about optics. It’s pretty telling that he only breaks character for the WEF.”

Posted this late so maybe peeps didn’t see it. It’s a very long thread, so I think you need an account to view all the posts, but it shows Zelensky’s goon squad going around and kidnapping men off the street ( even pulling them from cars ) and violently shoving them into their vehicle to go and die on the front line;

“Reeves replaces Churchill portrait with tapestry of ‘unknown woman’”
Presumably that’s to remind her that she’s standing on the shoulders of midgets.
To remind her she is currently standing on the necked of elderly cold ladies.
Does anybody in the Labour party know what a woman is?
Or is “unknown woman” a euphemism for a man?
“What it would take to get Britain ready for war with Russia”
Re-commissioning the Secret Bunker at Hack Green.
What better name that encompass two of the evils of modern existence – hacking and the green devolution (sic).
I welcome JD Vances articulation of a few home truths about Ukraine and Zelenski’s public replay of some serious disagreements (shouting matches) that were originally played out in previous meetings with US representatives in Munich and Kiev..
It is clear that Zelenski is focussed on his desire to continue his repression of all things Russian in his country and to recapture the liberated portions, at whatever cost to his people and his funders, contrary to the wishes of the population there.
The fact that a selected, fanatical few of his soldiers can be found to agree with his stance should be compered to the hundreds or thousands of men who have deserted, been captured or have been dragged unwillingly off the streets and thrown, ill-prepared, into the front line.
Very good post because it not only explains the misogyny at the heart of the patriarchal ideology that is Islam, but it also highlights how women themselves paradoxically can become misogynists, and so the dysfunctional cycle of abuse is normalized and perpetuated;
”Suppose the condition of a country is a direct reflection of how its women are treated. In that case, the status of women in Islam is the root of the dysfunctionality of these societies, where women are abused, disempowered, and brainwashed from birth.
Islamic doctrine does not merely limit women’s rights—it annihilates their sense of self-worth from the very beginning. The Quranic Sura 2:282: “A woman’s testimony is worth half a man’s,” and Sura 4:34: “Men are in charge of women… and if they disobey, beat them,” are not just verses; they are the foundation of a system built on the dehumanization of women.
Girls are taught from their earliest years that they are inherently worth less than men. In court, their testimony is diminished; in marriage, their obedience is mandatory; in society, their rebellion is met with sanctioned violence. Even in Islamic communities in the West, forced and arranged marriages—often between first cousins—result in severe health issues like congenital disabilities while also sustaining a culture of honor killings, child marriage, and the systematic imprisonment of women within their own homes.
The result is internalized misogyny so deeply embedded in these women that they rationalize their abuse, calling it Allah’s will, defending their oppression as divine protection, and turning against other women with the same brutality inflicted upon them. Western women are whores, they say. Freedom is corruption. Submission is dignity.
The most insidious aspect of this oppression is that it breeds its callous enforcers. Women do not simply endure this system—they uphold it, enforce it, and ensure that it perpetuates. Mothers force their daughters under the hijab before they can even understand their choice. They pressure their sons to dominate their wives, training them from childhood to be emotionally detached tyrants. Older women, robbed of autonomy their entire lives, redirect their frustration by policing younger women’s sexuality. Mothers-in-law establish their dominance in the household by abusing their daughters-in-law, a cycle of cruelty passed down like a curse.
A woman who has been beaten, denied autonomy, and trained to see herself as inferior does not magically become a strong mother. A woman who has never learned to think for herself cannot raise independent children. A woman who has been degraded from birth cannot build a functional society. She raises narcissistic sons who are violent, entitled, and emotionally crippled and daughters who are powerless, indoctrinated, and, more often than not, manipulative—because in a system like this, submission requires the utmost cunning to survive.
A boy who grows up watching his mother beaten and silenced learns three things: women are weak, violence is power, and compassion is a liability. If his mother justifies the abuse instead of fighting it, he grows into a man who sees violence as natural, dominance as his right, and cruelty as strength. This is why men in Islamic societies are often so brutal, so callous, so incapable of empathy—strong women did not raise them but broken ones who passed on their trauma like a birthright.
The cycle is endless. The same system that subjugates women breeds men who terrorize them, and so the dysfunction feeds itself, generation after generation, a psychological time loop of regression and self-destruction…”

Just an anecdote.
On holiday in Sri Lanka our guide on a hike started taking about Covid (honestly I did not start the conversation).
He told me how people were locked in their houses and then mandated to take the vaccine. At the time of mandatory vaccines, all social media platforms were blocked. If they went out and not vaccinated, they were taken to quarantine for 14 days and vaccinated against their will. According to him a lot of people have health problems now and are getting angry. The medical profession is not allowed to attribute any health problems to the vaccine.
Diabolical.
During an appearance on the Laura Coates show on CNN, Jennings said that all Zelensky had to do was be polite, grateful and pleasant. He says that this was a test and that Zelensky failed it. Jennings said:

“What it would take to get Britain ready for war with Russia”
That’s a joke..right?
The tail of the old dog trying to wag the body of the new dog. The proof of the pudding will be if all the fine words from politicians and military leaders actually turn into positive actions. I don’t expect they will.
Donald Trump’s state visit to Britain should be shelved in the wake of his White House tirade against President Zelensky, a series of prominent public figures declared last night, according to the Mail.
Who are these prominent figures. No sensible person would call for this. Only someone who wishes to fracture the West even more than it is currently fractured.
We in Europe must do whatever it takes to ensure that Ukraine can secure its freedom and democracy, writes Kemi Badenoch in the Telegraph.
Bow locks. Who is she kidding.
I’d suggest people pop back to the ‘Zelensky-Trump White House’ article from the other day and see what the nasty little troll known as ‘BillT’ has been saying about many of us. He’s shown his hand very early on. I find this to be a behaviour trait of trolls. They go back to old articles and badmouth people because they know hardly anyone is going to see their posts. Cowards, in other words.
I went back and I agree. I’m new on here and I couldn’t see a report button?
I’m not sure if you just click on the little red flag symbol next to the post. Can’t say I’ve done it, myself. But I’m glad you agree and see what I saw. There’s free speech then there’s just blatant disrespect towards other posters and trolling behaviour.
