As soon as Ukraine has a few setbacks, @DavidSacks and other geopolitics and military experts started providing their analysis on the situation. Putin has annexed four Ukrainian Oblasts into Russia illegally, and he's said that they will never be Ukraine again.
1/3
Anyone who's looked into Russian history knows, that they use truce only as a way to regroup after which they'll continue their genocidal war. How did truce and peace treaty help Chechnya in 96-97? Putin and the FSB orchestrated a false flag attack and invaded again in '99.
2/3
But as the expert on the topic, David, you probably knew all this already.
My offer still stands: let's have a chat. I mean, it's you who often calls for a civil discussion, and I'm offering you just that. I'm sure your war room boys can prepare you.
3/3
What people like to do: frame me as an uninformed, NAFO troll, neocon, NATO shill, warmonger, etc.
What people don't like to do: discuss and/or counter my arguments.
