I was involved in several NATO exercises during my time in the Army. Specifically Reforger '85 and Reforger '87. I also was involved in NATO logistics in the mid '90's in Germany.
We (USA) funded the vast majority of the training exercises by supplying large amounts of diesel fuel, ammo and...
Putin is certainly the bad guy but I also believe that Ukraine and Zelensky are plenty corrupt as well. Also if you refuse to hold elections doesn't that in fact make you a dicrator?

I keep hoping that there are a few sane people left in Russia that can end this but apparently there's not any.
I guess that might mean something if he was actually running the Government. You might want to pace yourself there Bob. 3 years, 10 months and 3 weeks to go. lol
Oh OK, you're one of those Trump is working for Putin guys who also obviously has a serious case of TDS. Pretty smart for the Hillbilly and the Old Guy to trick Zelensky into going on a tirade about guarantees. Carry on with your Russian fantasies.
Well I'll assume you know and understand that when 2 nations agree to a televised signing ceremony the "deal" is supposed to already be worked out and agreed to.
Zelensky got on TV and then started carrying on about security guarantees which wasn't part of the aforementioned deal. I don't...
