Subject: Re: Let’s See If This Pans Out for Putin
One thing you haven't realized yet Dope is that Russia is a bad actor and has no intention of keeping any cease fire, or to cease hostilities.

Are you under some impression that anyone thinks that Putin is trustworthy?

One of my pets' favorite schtick is to try to claim that I can't represent my opponents' positions accurately. The truth is...it's the board left that has no idea what anyone outside the bubble thinks.

This is round 1. I'd rather give the chance to the Ukrainians to rest, refit and re-arm for round 2 when Putin tries something else. You people would rather they just keep going.

One of us is thinking longer term. The rest of you...not so much.
