Okay, but they have to be stopped somewhere and without Donbas, there aren't any good defense lines or any geographical obstacles- mountains, rivers, etc.? However, retreating for west across the Dnieper River would be a disaster for Ukraine, as it would lose many large cities and almost all of its industry. There's practically nothing in western Ukraine- no mineral resources, etc. Ukraine can't withdraw far behind Donbas, and that's something that should be discussed with the USA and the UE, not just the same old slogans. I hope there's some concrete talk behind the scenes.

Surely, we are not going to go very far.

But all the discussions are in the dead end. Ukraine, EU and USA may discuss the question, but russians is not going to stop. And there is no political will in the US to make them withdraw.

LOL Russia is the largest country in the world with mega resouces , they dont need yours, they just dont accept their cousins in the western camp which is dangerous , allowing more domination of USA 

I am not really sure if we can discuss it seriousely since you support russia and I do not.

Russian ideology is non-utilitarian. It has neo-Eurasianism as its foundation. It means that it is not important for them how many resources do they have until they do not have ours.

Have you read Humiliov, Dugin?

Biden had no idea, and neither does Trump. Each for different reasons: Biden feared World War III, while Trump wants to do business with Russia. It would take someone like Reagan to put more pressure on Russia, and that would also be a strategy for years, not 1-2.

Your friend Trump :roflmao:

 

Trump administration bars 5 Europeans from entry to the U.S. over alleged censorship

 

The U.S. slapped visa bans on five prominent Europeans, accusing the EU of censoring free speech on the web by unfairly targeting U.S. tech giants with what they say is overly burdensome regulation.

    • Stage 13 in Livigno (ITA)   Men´s Super-G:   1. Marco Schwarz    1:10.33 2. Alexis Monney   1:10.53 3. Franjo Von Allmen   1:10.58   Full Final Results HERE
    • I won't write about injuries (Fede) and non-sporting matters (Colturi), but the fact is that Italy has its worst start to the season in alpine skiing in over 10 years... Just one victory, and podiums- if any, they're mostly 3 places. We're also not leading in any of the season standings, no in the women's or men's categories. This isn't be it should be in an Olympic year in your country, where you're having your worst season in many years.
    • Plaisier blew 3 match darts and Ratajski comes back to win!    
    • Yes, she was unlucky, but it could just as easily have happened during some training, like with Gut, etc. Brignone has been essentially injury-free throughout her long career, which is very rare in this sport. It's unfortunate that this happened after her best season ever and just 1 year before the Olympic Games in home, when she just missing of win the Olympic gold medal in her great career. With the gold in Cortina, she would have become a legend of Italian skiing, on par with Tomba. Now she's still the best Italian woman in history, but the miss of Olympic gold will likely haunt her for the rest of her life. 
    • It sad to see this season, as I remember, that Fede last year was winning everywhere, when she competed and finished and now we haven't even managed a single podium in the giant slalom, and it'll probably stay that way until the end of the season. Without Fede and Bassino, unfortunately, we're out of good cards in this event. For me Goggia should probably skip the giant slalom at all, becouse she has no chance of a podium and she risks further injuries. If even Goggia finish 8th or 10th? What difference does it make? If she couldn't get a podium finish today with so many DNFs at the top skiers, she probably never do. Della Mea is OK this year, but let's be honest, she's not World Cup podium material. Overall, it's a sad picture, and we have a 0% chance of anything in Cortina unless a miracle happens in Brignone return.   We have two chances for Goggia in DH and SG + maybe a dark horse in Pirovano/Curtoni in SG. That's all. In technical events, we have a 0% chance for medal and that's sad. Our federation also lost Colturi in this situation... In any normal country, the head of such a federation should be dismissed for disciplinary reasons and this case should be investigated by the minister, or even the prime minister, but not in Italy...
    • Mikaela Shiffrin  off the podium today (Edit: Oops...I thought this was slalom, not Giant Slalom.).  Nina Astner  entered the 2nd run in 30th place, but had the best second run, jumping up 18 places to 12th.
    • Maryna Gąsienica-Daniel with a 5th place PB in Semmering GS!
