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.

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.

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.

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.

Erdoğan says he will suggest Putin to find honorable exit from Ukraine

Hard to imagine what that could be.

Erdoğan informed this endeavor of Turkey for a ceasefire has proven that it can be a guarantor state for Ukraine in case the two sides can agree on a peace deal.
***TURKEY? Might as well be THAILAND!!?!!??? If the US can’t be a “guarantor state” after a SIGNED Budapest Memorandum with the Ukes honoring it in good faith, how the hell is TURKEY gonna do it?

Thinking this through, here is how Turkey does it: By exiting NATO. Starting a new neutrality alliance with countries like Ukraine, Moldova, whomever. Get lost NATO, get lost Russia. Baboon dynamics.

Never heard of Baboon dynamics? Watch them in the wild. A single baboon is just a meat sack. But a pack of them is a very formidable defense organization that even lions won’t challenge. That’s why Putin has not invaded a NATO state. Look how puny Estonia is, right there, ripe for the taking.

There is no honorable exit. Because the invasion was dishonorable. Just get out. Stop being a tyrant.

Are you kidding me?

Erdogon likely has more innocent blood on his hands in a quest for personal power than Pootie

And he’s lecturing Putin ...that’s laughable hypocrisy

If this were Erdogon suppressing dissent he’d have razed Kiev by now and Mariupol would be a cow patty of blood and guts and concrete

And Erdogon is a fcukimg muzzie caliphate type

He’s butchered Kurds like hogs....not saying Kurds are saints btw but neither are Chechens or Uke nationalists in the Donbass

Putin at least in my view ...a despot same as Erdogon seems to value legacy and the territorial aims of his country more than Erdogan who seems about his own power aside from disallowing Kurdistan which I do understand but he’s a butcher make no mistake

This is like Saddam telling Assad to behave

Ps I really wish I didn’t know so much polish Lithuanian empire greater Russia pseudo nation Ukraine info

I really don’t give a shit

I’d prefer to defeat the globalist neocon elitist stranglehold trying to destroy and remake western civilization

A far bigger threat than Putin

The Cold War is over....unless you reignite it

Save face. Take a tiny piece of land and get out. Done. Don’t listen to the American president.
