Yup. Still stupid.

[kiryandil]

It’s called “one-liner trolling”.

It keeps the Ukie propaganda flowing.

[CatHerd]

I see your point, but it comes across as just plain stupid. And the obsession of a one track mind.

In the immortal words of Lao Yang, “It’s all so tiresome.”

Russian delegation:

1. Vladimir Medinskiy - Putin’s aide, appointed head of the delegation.
2. Mikhail Galuzin - deputy foreign minister of Russia.
3. Igor Kostyukov - chief of the main department of the General Staff of the Russian armed forces.
4. Aleksandr Fomin - deputy defense minister of Russia.

There are also four “experts” who will take part in the negotiations, as well.

He did the same thing with Fox News ratings after the 2020 elections - months of bashing on Fox News and Tucker Carlson.

Of course, everyone agreed with him about Fox News back then, so the trolling was no fun.

It is true that for whatever reasons, Russia’s advance in Ukraine has slowed to a (slow) crawl. Major objectives like Pokrovsk And Chasiv Yar have not been completely taken despite months of confrontation. They threw the Ukrainians out of Kursk, but that’s about the sum of their progress recently.

Reuters reporting Trump is not Attending

[Arcadian Empire]

Ending military aid to Ukraine will end the war.

[Arcadian Empire]

President Trump should stay away from this cluster meeting.

[Arcadian Empire]

1. All areas east and south of the river, including Crimea, will be aligned with Russia

2. Ukraine will never be in NATO

[janetjanet998]

President Trump should stay away from this cluster meeting.

Incorrect

The western advance has really picked up steam the past 3 weeks or so

[Fledermaus]

Size and shape of the table?

[CatHerd]

Yes, I just heard that on the car radio via Fox News. They said he decided that after seeing the list of Russian delegates did not include Putin.

If so, he’s wisely following diplomatic protocol. There are good reasons for these time-honored pritocols. Good.

[Busywhiskers]

Sounds like the peace negotiations to end the Vietnam War. They had trouble agreeing on the shape of the table.

Let ‘em fight it out.
Just do it without our Weapons and Money.
