He won’t answer the question because he can’t. Nobody ever does whenever it gets asked. Nobody will say in all seriousness that Putin can be trusted to keep to an agreement because he demonstrably and plainly can’t and/or won’t.Question not answered.
Putin lies and won't negotiate in good faith.
He has never stuck by an agreement EVER.
Yeah it’s easy to sit and tell lies for the likes of Putin so probably best nobody with a moral compass goes anywhere near the ****.I'm no supporter of Putin but after seeing that, it's probably a good thing Biden doesn't meet or talk with him.
He would run circles around Biden if they ever had a conversation, especially in public. He was able to switch between many topics easily and converse about them and could recite 1200 years of European history off the top of his head in detail.
Biden didn't even get one minute into his press conference yesterday without the president of Mexico and Egypt confused.
And aren't the side you seem to endorse also losing a generation of young people.Yes, a negotiated settlement. Will involve some painful concessions by the Ukrainian side, but compared to losing a generation of young people this would seem preferable to me. However, if the Ukrainian people want to carry on fighting I respect that and wish them well. Just don't think this war is headed for the happy ending most on here would like to see.

If you honestly don't think the questions and answers were not already predetermined and rehearsed you are a lunatic. The Truman show was less fake.I'm no supporter of Putin but after seeing that, it's probably a good thing Biden doesn't meet or talk with him.

I think I’ll dismiss anybody who says ‘I’m not a supporter of Putin, but…’

What a legacy for Putin. Will have probably have doubled the length of the Russian border touching NATO territory. Given the invasion was designed to prevent the further expansion of NATO, that particular outcome can only be properly characterised as a spectacular failure.If the war stops now and Ukraine give Russia the lands it holds the second after that they become part of NATO, no ifs or buts any twat tries to veto it gets kicked out of NATO, that’s the only way you stop him coming further later. If the orange Gimp gets in Europe need to step up like Poland is doing and get a military that can fight Russia although I think we have the technology to do that already. Never stop sanctions on Russia turn them into North Korea take all the frozen money give it to Ukraine to rebuild.
Nobody could converse with Putin in good faith though because it won’t be reciprocated.Well, if you read my other posts a few up, you'll see I certainly don't support him and think he basically played the interviewer by talking a lot but shutting up shop when it didn't suit him or his agenda.
The post you replied to was simply an observation as to why there's no way senile Biden could never really converse with people like that. That's quite worrying when the US president basically comes of as senile in comparison to these people that they're supposed to be pushing back against.
By the way, 3 of my grandparents were Russian and my family and me still don't support Putin or Russia, probably for reasons much closer to home than home than you have. So don't worry, you don't need to dismiss what I say, my opposition of what's happening is pure.

But anyone advocating for it now is plainly doing so on the broad basis of the latter, namely keep what you’ve got. There is no other logical option. The notion that Russia are going to give up territory in exchange for a few undertakings around Russian culture is actually insane.
Correct they aren't going to. Maybe if Ukraine recognises Crimea as Russian sovereign territory they might give back some of Ukraine proper.
Would they give back the industrial heartlands in the Donbass? Probably not.
Think they will wait it out till after the US election, and if it doesn't go in their favour they will seek a settlement. If Europe steps up more collectively in support they might make the war untenable for russia with pressure back home growing due to the cost and the dead. Feels like it is balanced on a knife edge at the moment though.
Exactly my thoughts on him, he can have a new best mate until he says something his "mate" doesn't like, and falls from a raised window.I would revoke his passport. Let him enjoy Putin and Russias freedoms for as long as he wants.
Totally agree with that, it has suited NATO to the ground, not something we should be proud off, and yet we still have former NATO officials telling us that POland will be next, when it's plain they won't, that's just scaremongering shit.What a legacy for Putin. Will have probably have doubled the length of the Russian border touching NATO territory. Given the invasion was designed to prevent the further expansion of NATO, that particular outcome can only be properly characterised as a spectacular failure.
I also think what gets overlooked is the way this conflict has caused a huge diminishment in Russian military equipment, strength and standing.
It’s actually been a hugely effective way of NATO depleting the Russian threat, and it can’t be ruled out that the level of support has been aimed at that rather than outright Russian defeat. its certainly perfectly plausible.
I think it’s safe to assume that the ‘SMO‘ has hugely impacted on Russia’s military capability, which clearly suits NATO greatly.
What makes you think Putin is a knowledgeable man with a very good knowledge of history on many topics? What evidence do you have for this statement?It was certainly news at the time that "peace talks" broke down after Johnson's trip to Ukraine
That doesn't necessarily mean he sabotaged it though. Of course from Russia's side they're going to say that if they believe on what they want, then to their side it seems like sabotage.
Exactly what the propopsed peace agreement actually entailed is another matter altogether, and I don't imagine anyone in the public or media have any real knowledge of the in depth details of that.
I do believe Putin was being somewhat honest in the basics of that though. It was in our media at the time in 2022 that talks broke down after Johnson visited Ukraine. To suggest they broke down means at least they were talking and making some possible headway up until Boris went there.
As to why they broke down, nobody could honestly give you real answer until they see all the documents of the proposed peace agreement. I doubt it was as simple as Johnson rocking up in Ukraine and telling them to sod it and keep fighting, but that's how Putin essentially described it. The more likely scenario is the proposed agreement was heavily in the favour of Russia.
All Putin said was Johnson advised them it was better to keep fighting Russia. Let's say that's true, then why not go into details of why Johnson said that? Or why he thinks he said that? It was strange that he only gave that simple statement. If he believes that to be the case, he must have theories why that he would like to share to make his case.
He's clearly a knowledgeable man with a very good knowledge of history and was able to speak on many topics with clarity, yet he basically shut up shop on some things. No doubt an intelligent man but equally as calculated. He spoke for two hours without really saying a lot in the end.
