I rarely follow Ukraine news because it is all bullshit but now the war is guaranteed to never end with this statement and refusing to allow elections.
We have a full blown dictator on our hands, funded by the US Government.
Donbass & Crimea are within Ukraine's internationally recognized borders.
Zelensky has every right to refuse to cede them to Russia.
This means he will need Ukraine's army to take them back by force, since Russia obviously isn't just going to leave.
Can he do it? Probably not, but you never know. He might as well try over the next several months. There are a few scenarios in which Ukraine could pull it off.
More importantly, it is very typical to put your demands higher than they actually are so that when you negotiate down you still get what you want. Perhaps something along the lines of "We give up claims to Crimea if you give up claims to Donbas" sort of deal.
Either way, I dont see Putin agreeing either. This was really his only shot. If he does pull back, and then try again in a few years ready for round 2, Ukraine is going to be dug in and ready to rock and roll. This time with even more Western weapons that even just the samples have been rolling the Russians, not to mention Ukraine likely being in NATO or some sort of alliance protected by the US and other Western nations.

Correct, but these are not demands, these are preconditions for any negotiation. This is clearly an attempt to prolong the war as long as possible.

Are you talking about those wreckages of the Bradleys and Leopards? Gotta say, there's nothing more satisfying than seeing the wrecks of Nazi-driven German tanks that were attacking Russia.

You sound more enthusiastic about getting nuked than the average person is. Jingoism really is a disease. The victims of US empire cheering like mad dogs in favor of the US empire elsewhere, quite astonishing.
Also, in both cases they suffered extremely minor crew losses. So I would suppress that boner over "dead Nazis" if I was you.

More like I have learned that when you are dealing with someone who acts tough but isnt, you respond by taking their gun, putting it up to your head, and saying "Pull the trigger! You wont, no balls!" Because they dont have the balls, and that is when you pull your own gun.
The way you invite the danger you fear is by acting weak.
US Empire
Honestly, I have come to learn the Republic was overrated. People say we are Rome 2.0? Sure, why not. Bring on the Empire! You aint seen Pax Americana yet, boy!
