Pete Hegseth tells NATO that a return to Ukraine's 2014 borders is 'unrealistic'

What was his BAC at the time?

The problem is - while he might not be wrong, simply because it’s unlikely that Russia would accept a total territorial loss at the negotiation table - ceding anything to the Russian imperialists is an invitation to keep pushing.
The truth is that the US of course do not care about the Ukraine as a sovereign entity. They care only about maintaining their own geopolitical interests.
On the other hand do I doubt that Russia is interested in merely maintaining their territorial gains - maybe as a special zone of some sort - if that would mean that the Ukraine would pursue a proper membership in NATO.
So what we will likely see is that Russia will want to maintain or increase their presence in eastern Ukraine, maintain Crimea and want assurances that Ukraine will remain a neutral buffer state.
Leading to the Ukraine being screwed over either way.

Oh come on, if you're going to shake UA down for 500B in rare earths the least you can do is a li'l reacharound while fucking them in the ass. Stay classy.

What his opinion after he loosens up with a gallon of vodka or 2?
-
-
They care only about maintaining their own geopolitical interests.
That used to be the case. Now the US only cares about whatever Trump wants, AKA whatever Putin told him he wants.
-
Any time anyone says something like OP did, I imagine them in front of a whiteboard trying to explain to themselves how the US of today is the same US as last month.
-
You'd think Zekensky would give him that amount in relation to the amount of land liberated.
-
I'm surprised he can say anything with Putin's dick that far down his throat.
-
It's just "Ukraine". "The Ukraine" implies that it's a territory and not the name of an independent country.
-

-
Except it's not like that. "The Ukraine" is how it was referred to when it was part of Russia. "Ukraine" is correct.
-
You might want to look up the historic usage. And I don’t mean the slavic etymology nor soviet russia. It has been named both until the article became a politicized matter. So if you want to object to me accidentially implying I would not affirm the independence of Ukraine as a country, then I understand that.

Lol sorry, every nation in Europe is a sovereign entity and is responsible for the safety of their citizens and the integrity of their borders.
Poland made the decision to arm itself and has been spending for years. Lack of investment in the military is fundamentally a national decision to divert money into other programs or tax cuts.
The US has been becoming less and less interested in the rules based order we built after WW2 for the last 20 years.
Many people have predicted this would happen. You have only yourselves to blame.

Agreed! Ukraine should keep all that land they conquered.
