The secretary of state, heading to talks with Ukrainian officials in Saudi Arabia, said future talks with Moscow will be needed to determine what Russia is willing to give up to end the war.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Monday that Ukraine would have to make concessions over land that Russia had taken since 2014 as part of any agreement to end the war.

Mr. Rubio spoke as he was flying to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, for talks with senior Ukrainian officials, and 10 days after a contentious White House meeting between President Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky. The Trump administration halted military aid to Ukraine after the blowup, which centered on Mr. Trump’s refusal to include any security guarantees in a proposed deal involving Ukraine’s natural resources.

    Bin Laden defeated our freedom and Putin defeated our democracy.

    We’re such a pathetic nation of pussies. Home of the brave has to be the most ridiculous line in any anthem ever.

      As Tywin Lannister said “Any man who must say, “I am the King”, is no true king.”

      Any man who goes around telling everyone they’re brave, probably isn’t brave. In fact it’s incredibly cringe.

      A cringe country full of cringe people who say one thing but do another. Claim to stand for freedom, democracy, and liberty whilst oppressing all of those things both at home and abroad.

      Land of the cowards.

      Bin Laden and Putin didn’t do these things. They precipitated a situation wherein we did them ourselves.
