it's crazy that ukraine hasn't been able to strike any targets inside russia. f'ng feeble biden.

obviously, all of those prior reports to the contrary were fake news.

The Biden admin absolutely did not give Ukraine any weapons that had the capabilities to strike strategic or operational targets deep inside Russia, and for the longest time prevented Ukraine from using US provided munitions to strike tactical or operational targets minimally inside Russia, and when the Biden administration removed the use restrictions, they limited it to targets around the Kursk offensive into Russia.

The weapons Ukraine used to strike targets deep into Russia were organic to Ukraine.

So yeah, feeble Biden actually did F that up for the Ukrainian war effort.

Likely just trying to pressure the Kremlin in to setting up the meeting with Zelensky. Putin supposedly agreed to it, but he Kremlin says it will take a long time to figure out logistics and security.

If you believe there will be a meeting you are as gullible as the nitwits on this board.

There is no current path to a meeting between Putin and Zelensky. Putin doesn't need or want a meeting and Trump has backed off for now. Putin got everything he wanted from the Alaska meeting.

btw - Where are the additional sanctions OR at least the continued drumbeat threats of them?

We will see. Reportedly they are still working on setting up a meeting. The timeliness that was giclven was 10 days to get a location and date. You guys need to pay better attention.

Trump isn't working on it. He's been clear about that. Also, the signals from both Putin and Zelensky have not been positive. I'm happy to read anything you want to provide that says otherwise.

btw - When I say "there is no path" I don't mean that there isn't anyone looking at it. What I mean is there is currently no logical path that forces Putin to the table with Zelensky. The only pressure point so far has been the threat of accelerated sanctions but TACO took that off the table.

Ukraine building long range weapons.

A Ukrainian startup develops long-range drones and missil...

Ukraine's defense industry is gaining global attention for its innovative drone technology. Last September, a Ukrainian-made drone attacked a Russian ammunition depot more than 620 miles away.

We’ve been paying attention for months if not years. You seem to not understand that the Kremlin doesn’t want peace talks because they are slowly but surely advancing.

Another note: your supposed strongman in chief is only strong with words, not actions.

All of these details were already announced during the big meeting.

If they cant settle on a meeting time and place within 10 days, then you can worry about no meeting materializing.

Until then, there has been no news and you are all panicked and/or complaining just to complain.

No one is panicking or complaining to just complain. People are hearing what the Kremlin is putting out there and it’s still the same narrative as before. The Alaska meeting did nothing to bring this war to an end. It will only mean something if Trump can finally follow through on his tough talk…

And we know that he is called TACO for a reason, especially when it comes to countries with strong dictators at the helm (China & Russia).

I recall a certain scholar from the highly esteemed and well regarded state of West Virginia proclaiming that the presence of American business would deter Putin from attacking.

You know, I completely forgot about that asinine line of thinking from a few months back.

Just because you aren't paying attention doesn't mean there hasn't been any news. Both the WH, Zelensky, and Kremlin have pushed out statements and those tell us which way the wind is blowing. There is no momentum at this point that would lead to a meeting between Putin and Zelensky and the key reason is that Putin does not want a meeting. As for the 10 days, that was never anything anyone committed to in any case and Trump has not put any pressure on for that deadline to hold (not to mention he is TACO in any case).

There are only two reasons which will bring Putin into a meeting with Zelensky. One would be if the meeting is for Zelensky to unconditionally surrender to Putin. The other is if Putin is under very severe pressure from the US and has no other choice.

The winds were blowing towards a terrible meeting with the European leaders as well. Then, it went well. You guys suck at reading the winds.

That's not true. We didn't expect much from the meeting but we weren't negative to the Euro leaders showing up. In any case, it was a decent performance but nothing lasting will come from it.
