Good luck finding one.
He has established his land bridge from Crimea to Russia proper. I suspect he may declare victory once Mariupol falls.
Then Biden may try to force Kiev to cede the territory by choking off supplies. I hope I’m wrong about that.
Well this will not please the Putin Cult.
Putin as peacemaker would be an interesting chess move.
wheels within wheels.
Mariupol is key for that reason. While Ukraine has done good work everywhere else on the map, they haven’t been able to relieve its defenders and unless that changes that city is ultimately doomed.
Putin as peacemaker is laughable. Only a moron would buy it.
This will upset neocon war profiteers very upset.
Because Erdogan is waiting to take over his role as the next “Baddie” as he tries to rebuild the Ottoman Empire, he needs a weakened Russia for that.
“...find an honorable exit from Ukraine...”
Pootie is way past that exit.
Most of the neocon Biden puffers on here want WWIII with Joe Biden as CIC. (just using their vernacular because they understand that talk)
If Putin finds a way to exit while saving face, there is the problem of rebuilding Ukraine.
The Western countries will likely lead the way in restoring the economy and society, which will make Ukraine look more toward the West. Ukraine’s increasingly westward orientation was Putin’s motive to invade.
I’m sure Putin will listen. I mean, no history of hate and rancor and slaughter between the Turks and Russian over the last ... five or six centuries.
Erdogan certainly remembers that Crimea was once Turkish.
LOL..that’s a classic! Sure to please The Putin Puffers.
Putin as peacemaker is laughable. Only a moron would buy it.
Hard to imagine what that could be.
Donald Trump completely supports Ukraine including more military aid to Ukraine than Biden has given.
