  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Since our polarization, we don't listen to the other tribe's leaders' words, so we are manipulated into fear. But if NATO keeps acting like a fool like all these past years, maybe Trump will do a realignment.

Like Russia, they want a peace of Ukraine.
Zelensky is playing into Russia's hand by refusing to seriously talk peace. Sadly, the longer the fight, the more land he loses. He's getting some bad advice from some countries who want to continue the war.

Russia: “It’s your own fault that I have to keep hitting you!” ?

Kryvyi Rih yesterday, what is being reported as a "high precision (ballistic) missile strike" targetting a restaurant hosting a meeting of "unit commanders" and "western instructors" killing up to 85 by the side that launched the missile airbursted over a children's playground (going on what was seen on the ground by independent journalists). 18 dead including 9 children, dozens wounded.

Clearly a 4D chess move as far as negotiating a ceasefire.

Rubio has said himself that he will know "in a matter of weeks, not months" whether Vladimir Putin is serious about peace and a ceasefire in Ukraine

The war over there is nasty, with both sides killing POWs. Ceasefire they agreed not to attack energy infrastructure and a day later Ukraine violated the agreement. Now there are rumors that EU mercenaries bombed it. Maybe the EU oligarchs don't want the war to end. It's a mess and needs to stop.

Not really. Do you have a source? NATO was hell bent on having Ukraine in NATO, and here we are. My country saddens me for our expansionism.

It was from a pr event he gave in russian about 2 months before the war began. Putin laughs at the question of invading ukraine and replies along the lines of "oh no we are not talking about that".

Point is... Yes american could pull out of nato...while denying the possibility up to the day of.
