Nice straw man

How do you translate that into me saying that both sides currently want to negotiate?

Then I'm not sure what exactly is your point.

If you're now conceding that in their present positions neither wants to negotiate, what is your objection to Biden trying to strengthen the position of Ukraine vis-a-vis Russia?

Misinformation coming out of Ukraine as Western official denies Ukraine claim that Russia fired ballistic missile at them.

Dnipro attack weapon not an intercontinental ballistic missile, official says

A Western official has now said the weapon used in the attack was not an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).
That directly contradicts a statement from the Ukrainian air force, which claimed this morning that it was an ICBM that struck Dnipro, causing fires (read more on the Ukrainian claims here).
According to the Associated Press, that would have marked the first time an ICBM had been used in the Russia-Ukraine war, but the official's comments cast doubt on that being the case.
The Western official said the weapon was a ballistic missile, but declined to provide further details.
We're yet to have any official confirmation that the weapon used was, or was not, an ICBM.

As someone who has claimed to be a lawyer I am continually struck by how hopeless you are at not being able to understand written text, how you misinterpret electoral data and generally conflate issues.

If you cannot understand what I’ve written in this thread, especially when there are multiple media opinions stating exactly the same thing, one of which I’ve actually ...[text shortened]... e explaining it to you.

There is no way you are a lawyer, you simply lack the cognitive ability.

Russia might nuke Ukraine. Is that how Biden is going to strengthen the position of Ukraine?

The lesson from Ukraine to the rest of the world is extraordinarily clear:

"Get nukes as fast as you can and by any means necessary or you will not survive. NO ONE WILL HELP YOU!"

Iran has heard the message. So has every other nation on the planet.

Now, go on. Tell me about how nuclear war is made LESS likely through appeasement! 😆

Giving up those nukes in 1994 is looking pretty stupid, ain't it? 😆

@Metal-Brain said
Only assuming Ukraine would not have used them. But even if they kept them Russia has far more nukes than Ukraine had.

@no1marauder said
Boy, you really don't even try, do you?

Personal attacks as part of this pathetic one sided vendetta you've created are not an answer to the incoherence you've displayed here.
