U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken says the United States and its allies should not support a cease-fire or peace talks to end the war in Ukraine until Kyiv gains strength and can negotiate on its own terms. Blinken said in Finland on Friday that heeding calls from Russia and others for negotiations now would result in a false “Potemkin peace” that wouldn’t secure Ukraine’s sovereignty and or enhance European security. He argued that a cease-fire allowing Russian President Vladimir Putin “to consolidate control over the territory he has seized, and rest, rearm, and re-attack" would not bring "a just and lasting peace.” Kyiv has given confusing signals about whether a counteroffensive is coming or already underway.
“We believe the prerequisite for meaningful diplomacy and real peace is a stronger Ukraine, capable of deterring and defending against any future aggression,” Blinken said in a speech in Finland, which recently became NATO’s newest member and shares a long border with Russia.
honestly, i can’t see how any reasonable person wouldn’t.
edit: russia has proven, repeatedly, that they don’t honor their agreements. the only way that they won’t invade again is if they’re kicked out and if Ukraine has a modern military fully capable of kicking russia’s ass if it tries again.

if you’re hearing screeching, look into the mirror for the source. and I’m no liberal-- but sure, just name-call anyone who disagrees with you since you have no other rational argument. like a children do.
Hard agree with Blinken here.

you have a singular talent for twisting my words into nonsense.
I could never take credit for your demonstrated mastery of bullshit
now, now, don’t be bitter…
Said the liberal screeching while their global hegemony slowly crumbles around them.

I’m down for laugh - what political ideology do you believe you hold?
It’s pretty hilarious when a liberal can’t recognize self in the mirror.
