Why should a 'robust agreement' so completely favour one side ?

I don't have access to the NSA, CIA, or Pentagon, so don't know where Putin's levers are, but you can be certain the Yanks do. As with anything else Trump does, underneath it all, he sees personal gain in this.

Trump could put real pressure on Putin, he just doesn't want to.

Just a normal first day at the Perth test. 19 wickets today, 17 wickets against India.last November.

No it doesn't. Russia gives up none of Luhansk or Crimea, gains the part of Donetsk it currently does not have, and retains that part of Kherson and Zaporizhia it occupies. What it gives back is small areas along the border elsewhere.

Minsk 2 ? The 'deal' includes conceding the unoccupied parts of Donetsk to Russia, no foreign 'boots on the ground' to enforce the demilitarised zone, and the £100Bn is much less than is needed to rebuild. .

Cold fingers, phone keyboard. It was below freezing in Manchester today. As for "examples", they are strewn around the forum, and too numerous to count. I will leave it to others to make their own judgement on this. Let's turn this round, give one example, just one, where you have "caught" me "out".

"Do they know it's Christmas ?" All the African Christians do, including those in Ethiopia.

A classic dictionary definition of delusion.

Zohran Mamdani is due to meet Trump tomorrow - "We have a communist coming to the White House" says Karoline Leavitt, continuing to demonstrate her total ignorance.

It's Alexei, his World view is a bit distorted.

Your place is sat on the stool in the corner with the Dunce hat on.

If the Argies had waited 3 months to invade the Falklands, much of the task force would have been mothballed and unavailable due to cuts imposed by Maggie's Government. The decline of our military capability has been a much longer process than you imply.

Complacent for far too long.

Georgia. Same playbook, Russia already occupies about 20% of Georgian territory.

Particularly when he holds the leash of the other big dog.

Nic, this level of 'debate' is why people think you are a grade A whinging cunt.
