Neutrality for Ukrainians would require them to trust Russian government, that's never going to be possible, ever! Even with Putin gone! History is solid on this point! "Walk softly, but carry a big stick!" -T. Roosevelt

Suggestion: we should invite every Russian who has enlisted (or is currently a soldier) to get a free visa to Europe and pay for his/her food and living expenses for the rest of the war. This could actually be a cost-effective and peaceful way to counter the war.
Let all news agencies work to invite them and their families to a free and democratic Europe. This way we can gain a lot of qualified personnel and for every Russian soldier we settle in Europe, we can also save a lot of Ukrainian and Russian lives. I am in favor of exploring all peaceful options to end this war. So I encourage all of you to think outside the box, with the goal of bringing Europe back to peace and saving as many lives as possible on all sides. We are all someone's son, father, mother, daughter, friend or neighbor. Remember that! ❤🤝

[HumanBeingsRThinkingBeings]

Mind Begs the Question:
If deploying WMDs, Troops
In USA backyard - Not Allowed
In Russias backyard - Allowed
Democracy, Imperialism?

Part three: The well-known historian and author scratched his head saying such *primitive mindset and stupid!! He is absolutely right. I was very happy to find out his views shares completely with my comments stated in several website that you can find in my *compilated common list like most of points I have stated herein!” Either case, if I say, being no body in politically, my comment will be dismissed, but when such intellectual like Mr. Felshshtinsky stated in Polish Website TVP, very high numbers are viewing, especially in Europe! In cany case, please do ask the well-known Historian and author Mr. Yuri Gorgievich Felshshtinsky how he feels about our nonsense approach on attacking lifetime military targets in Russian, we are talking about lousy within 50-miles of Russian border, and Belarus and the targets are being Russian Military targets, there should not be any problems or dismiss Russian complaints is his wise points happened to be in unison view as mine! Extremely thankfully our ww-3 battle is in the Ukraine and Ukraine is the front-line soldiers and NO western soldiers involved and how fortunate we, the ENTIRE free world, and the least we can do is provide all the weapons and arm like *frontier guarding military much like S Korea is frontier in Eastern Asia, India is frontier of South Asia, against China, and Middle east frontier is Israel as Iraq is not trusty worthy… We must equip the ENTIRE US standard Armaments to ENTRIELY *equip Ukraine Armed Forces to the NATO-standard as excellent current NATO Secretary General Secretary Jens Stoltenberg urged again, again, and again, but either you or your young man advisers*&* (I am 71.5 years old immensely produced 1st Infantry veteran of US Army, so I can say that!), *&*ARE KEEP ignoring NATO Secretary General Secretary Jens Stoltenberg urging to FULLY – EQUIP Ukraine Army, Navy, Air Force, total NATO Standards, providing, training LIKE *Patriots, like somewhat spoiled S Korea, and *THHADS, etc. etc. etc. etc. so that ENTIRE Ukraine cities are FULLY protected by US style second to none air defense systems!! So that NOW small version of evil empire Russia, compared to defuncted Soviet Union, cannot threaten ENTIRE Baltic States, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, and more and NO more *world hunger problem when Ukraine liberates her, Ukraine, land Crimea! It is so very necessary to reiterate your verbatim of *promise to liberate Mariupol {rudimentary rhetorical question or not, how can you rebuild Mariupol without being liberate? How can you liberate when you or your immature advisers keep blocking all the necessary and warranted weapon transfer to Ukraine? Once again, your own world, “I will promise rebuild Mariupol, I promise, I promise!” These repetition statement of promise is *verbatim” early this year, 2022 (!), and my underpinning cardinal question is HOW are YOU rebuild Mariupol without liberating Mariupol? Are you aware that you or your advisers(s) young and old, are playing total nonsense cold blood indifference cowards {somehow aggressors will be upset? Oh sure sure, , what a miserable and sickening **imbecilic minded remark (?) and morons to the rotten to the core despicable you know what!!!}, up to now refusing to provide all the aforementioned weapon {Gen. McCaffery already advocated few months ago in website interview), will **absolutely make possible to destroy Kerch bridges, {even though Russians still have ability to supply via between Ukraine and Russian borders. Does any or did anyone ****pointed out sickening hypocrisy here? ** In the final analysis, Kerch bridge must be destroyed to remove one of two forms of Russian military supply route to Ukraine! There is no room for refutation in the aforementioned Crimea Kerch Bridge sinking! Claim to be near wiseman and grand strategist! *Being more familiar with China, since Korean five thousands of similar cultures and all that history, etc. of China and S Korea, I can give much for helpful to deter and keep China in place more than your advisers, but that is subject of some other day comments that I would not likely write about unless I am compelled to, because you have *so-called know it all National Security Adiviers and Secretary of State and his staffs… USA

The only thing possible for Russia is sometime in the future maybe the international community will tolerate them in a limited capacity. After withdrawal, after trials for war crimes and after restitution for all of the damage they have done to Ukraine.

[macandcheesemkoi]

The horrors and atrocities done in Ukraine by russians are just horrible. I understand why neutrality is not an option to Ukraine. Those crimes are just too much to be forgiven.

[sprootown]

PUCK FOOTIN'. SLAVA Ukraine!!!

[ltsahagian]

Will NBC News finally cover Azerbaijan’s brutal invasion into Armenia proper with the support of Turkey and Israel? Hundreds of innocent Armenian lives have been lost in a single week. Thank you.

[diceflawless]

They'll never get Russia out of Crimea. They should consider giving that up.

[rubiconklbrutorowman]

Former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Bill Taylor's point is RIGHT on the money and extremely well said, better than the Gen.

Psalm 118: 1 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever. 2 Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. 3 Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. 4 Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endureth for ever. 5 I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place. 6 The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me? 7 The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me. 8 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. 9 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes. 10 All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them. 11 They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. 12 They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. 13 Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me. 14 The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation. 15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly. 16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly. 17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD. 18 The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death. 19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD: 20 This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter. 21 I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation. 22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. 23 This is the LORD's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes. 24 This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. 25 Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity. 26 Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD. 27 God is the LORD, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar. 28 Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee. 29 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. - Bible Offline

Give Ukraine access to Tactical Nukes. Level the playing feild, 100% Russia will back off

[nickyc]

Any country used different level policy of politic they would fight long term, peace is always possible if they seek

[brobinson]

Russia has lost respect from nearly the entire world. The only way to get that respect back is for those in Russian army to go back to Russia and overthrow Putin. Russians have a better chance of surviving doing that, than fighting in Ukraine (please share)

Psalm 94: 1 O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself. 2 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud. 3 LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph? 4 How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves? 5 They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage. 6 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless. 7 Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it. 8 Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise? 9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see? 10 He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know? 11 The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity. 12 Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law; 13 That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked. 14 For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance. 15 But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it. 16 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity? 17 Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence. 18 When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up. 19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul. 20 Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law? 21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood. 22 But the LORD is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge. 23 And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the LORD our God shall cut them off. - Bible Offline

Guys why is it so strange to be neutral ? Cant i like both countries ? I understand that they maybe dont like each other but why do i have to support one of these two ?

[gregorypaul]

You can't blame them for being wicked when they do stuff like that since they haven't had any thing like this to go through. What about a good taste of their own medicines 💊💉, dear Almighty God?
Psalm 37: 1 Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. 2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. 3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. 4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. 5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. 6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. 7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. 8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. 9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth. 10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be. 11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. 12 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth. 13 The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming. 14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation. 15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken. 16 A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked. 17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous. 18 The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever. 19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied. 20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away. 21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth. 22 For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off. 23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. 24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand. 25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. 26 He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed. 27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore. 28 For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. 29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever. 30 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment. 31 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide. 32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him. 33 The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged. 34 Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it. 35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree. 36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found. 37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace. 38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off. 39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble. 40 And the LORD shall help them and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him. - Bible Offline

Neutrality after the cost? ...I say the conditions should be having the accountable person first...surrender Putin before talks...the Ukrainians will demand justice from zelensky...how will he address his people after what happened .?

[dhananjayrd]
