Tough shiite.

Trump is right.

End the war!

This is how negotiations work. Putin understands that full well.

The Russian “”media” is no different their ours. It is wholly designed to be the opiate of the masses for their political master class.

Russians are some of the most nationalist people on earth. As seen in WW2, they will endure great hardship “for the Motherland”. Russia’s political masters know this and exploit it to keep internal political dissent from forming.

On April 23, 1945, Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov arrived at the White House for a meeting with the new president.

Truman immediately lashed out at Molotov, “in words of one syllable,” as the president later recalled. As Molotov listened incredulously, Truman charged that the Soviets were breaking their agreements and that Stalin needed to keep his word.

At the end of Truman’s tirade, Molotov indignantly declared that he had never been talked to in such a manner. Truman, not to be outdone, replied that if Molotov had kept his promises, he would not need to be talked to like that.

“Is that any way to talk to great Russia?,” an angry Solovyov told his listeners.


Great Russia??? ROFLMAO.

This should have been conveyed in private not a taunt on social media. Trump may have set the peace process back with these threats.

Wow! Reuters suddenly writes a story sympathetic to Russian interests. What changed?

Russia is broke, and they’ve lost billions in equipment and several hundred thousand troops. They can bluster all tgey want, but Russia is a paper tiger.

I do not trust ANY "news" coming from/about Ukraine/Russia.

the largest hurdle to any kind of peace deal is the CIA. The Ukraine war is in reality US CIA vs Russia.

From all evidence available, the CIA is loaded with Bush/Cheney, Obama/Hillary, Biden puppeteers and has been lying to Trump and the rest of us, using the MSM and Social media control, just like it does everyone else in the world, and feeding Trump and the rest of us false, manipulated intel in order to stoke war and take their stuff,

its what they do, like how rattlesnakes bite and yellowjackets sting, the CIA stirs up war Regardless of how well intentioned the CIA/FBI is presented as, the CIA is just evil, cloaked as "National Security".

Until the CIA/FBI is disbanded or restructured, there will be no peace in Ukraine .

For Russia, Ukraine is Afghanistan 2.0.

The economy is tattered and many have become restless. This *may* lead to other regions trying to break away.

Hee hee.

It’s called reasserting dominance - a power move that previous occupants couldn’t manage, what with ‘toxic masculinity’ and all.

It’s an actual ‘reset’ button.

…And now I support long range missiles that can hit Moscow. Check my record I did not support this under the last administration. Putin has a legitimate off ramp. If he isn’t willing to take it then take Moscow.

It will be funny to see many of the Freepers so gung-ho about Russia and Trump now have to chose between them.

very one-sided report by Reuters.

So now, even Russia are back to being the good guys since it was Trump who stood up to them.

Trump is doing great and he is operating in true Trump style. So is Putin.

This is going to end and it will be very interesting to watch.
