Vladimir Putin from Kursk:
"Russia will treat Ukrainian soldiers captured in Kursk region as terrorists"
He also said "Foreign mercenaries are not covered by the Geneva Convention"

What does he have in mind?
“Nothing on the deal yet. Interesting comments on mercenaries”
I’m guessing North Korean soldiers can be considered foreign mercenaries.
People can’t seem to realize why Ukraine is fighting so hard and long and at such a high cost. Putin will pull a Stalin. It’s what Russians do when they conquer. Those who are not murdered outright will be sent to Gulag. Those he does permit to survive will be slaves in their own country which will just be a puppet state.
Guess Ukraine should have held an “election” and annexed the territory, then clad becomes the invader and terrorist.
Russian mir is wonderful😎
“I’m guessing North Korean soldiers can be considered foreign mercenaries.”
If they ever can find one of them.
Before signing up to be a merc it pays to know the rules. I suspect Put will have them shot.
“Putin will pull a Stalin.”
Another Putin mind-reader. Nice!
“”””I’m guessing North Korean soldiers can be considered foreign mercenaries.””””
Except that they can’t, because they aren’t, just as the Ukraine volunteers who are formally in the Ukraine military can’t be, the North Koreans are regular army forces fighting in Europe.
There are no credible reports of North Koreans fighting in any significant numbers. There are credible reports of Americans fighting with the Ukrainians.
Stalin killed lots of his own citizens. The Zalensky regime, with its total commitment to a completely unwindable war that would never have happened if it simply agreed to be a neutral country, is doing the Stalin impersonation. Zalensky’s war has killed over a million of his own citizens. Of course the US likes to help Stalinists, so it has promoted the war to its fullest potential - corrupting Ukraine’s government completely and helping to kill the men of military age with this needless and unwindable war. So, the Stalin role is played by Zalensky and the US Neocons. Russia has zero interest in acquiring Ukraine or any other nations except to keep US nuclear missiles and US armies out if its back yard. That is sensible. We would do the same.
Vranyo at its best.
Yes, and all Russian soldiers captured on Ukrainian territory are terrorists!
Oh boy, have you got it so very backwards. Are you serious or just a troll saying absurd things?
Ukraine is a sovereign country entitled to not be invaded by Russia especially since they were “guaranteed” territorial integrity for giving up their nukes. Ukraine is a sovereign country entitled to be neutral or make alliances however they choose without regard to Russia. And so forth.
Putin is the one who chose to invade a neighboring sovereign and every single death, Russian and Ukrainian alike, is blood on Putin’s hands and no one else’s.
“Zalensky”? If you’re going to accuse him of being Stalin then you could bother to learn how to spell his name.
zilEnSki. Otherwise known as the Little Green Goblin.🤡
Wedgie is back!
That flag in your tagline. Is that the color of your toilet paper.🤡🕺🏻😄🕺🏻
You got a man crush on Putin or something?
The actual actions certainly do not support the claims. Furthermore, the abilities of Russian military dominance certainly does not support the claims that Russia has the design & desire to continue through all of Europe.
Europe is in the process of committing suicide. Napoleon is often quoted as saying, "Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake." So, what's their motivation waging war at this point-in-time in Europe?
Fear of NATO was their true motivation to invade Ukraine, the violence in eastern Ukraine was just their handy excuse. The fact that he tried to obtain a peaceful resolution in the Minsk Accords 1 & 2was a clear signal that his concern for the ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine was of true concern. In those Accords he kept trying to get Ukraine to commit to declaring their neutrality and reject NATO member ship, but Ukraine would not agree to that.
We may actually wage war with the cartels in Mexico, with or without Mexico's cooperation or blessing in order to stop the flow of fentanyl that is killing 100K Americans every year. If we do, will you condemn Trump if he does? Will, you claim that Trump is trying to take this whole hemisphere? The press will be doing that for sure.
