When are you going to wake up and smell the coffee? Russia does NOT surrender. I’m no fan of the Soviet Union, but tell us, when did Russia ever surrender? Putin may be a murdering bastard, but he is, by God, the elected protector of the Russian people. Zelinskyy is a grifting fraud, and would gladly drag the entire world into a nuclear holocaust to grift a few more bucks.
“When are you going to wake up and smell the coffee? Russia does NOT surrender.”
LOL! Where did you get the idea that I thought they would?
Russia surrendered in the first world war. Left the battlefield to the Germans. You’re right, Zelensky is a corrupt fraud. But as long as the Ukrainian people want to see him play the piano with his penis, then he will still be there. Some people can be really stupid and, supposedly, be smart at the same time. But I think now, with a million of their brothers dead in a ditch, people have woken up and the penis and piano thing just won’t fly.

Russia has accepted unfavorable peace terms—effectively conceding defeat—in several major wars:
World War I (1918): Soviet Russia signed the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, ceding vast territories (including Poland, Ukraine, and the Baltics) to Germany to exit the war.
Crimean War (1853–1856): Russia signed the Treaty of Paris (1856), surrendering southern Bessarabia and agreeing to neutralize the Black Sea (no warships allowed).
Russo-Japanese War (1904–1905): The Treaty of Portsmouth (1905) forced Russia to recognize Japanese dominance in Korea and cede southern Sakhalin and leases in Manchuria.
Russo-Polish War (1632–1634): Russia attempted to recapture Smolensk (lost earlier) but failed; the Treaty of Polyanov confirmed Polish control over Smolensk and other lands.
Russo-Sino Border Conflicts (1680s): Russian forts like Albazin were besieged and captured by Qing China; the Treaty of Nerchinsk (1689) forced Russia to cede claims along the Amur River and destroy settlements—a significant setback in eastward expansion.
The claim that “Russia never surrenders” is a myth; while resilient in defensive wars, it has ended conflicts on losing terms when necessary. In offensive campaigns or when overextended, it accepted unfavorable treaties to end wars, just like other powers. The myth overlooks these pragmatic concessions.
