I post this because I am amused when the Ukrainian partisans vent their vitriol, and foam at the mouth with anger at any mention of Russia or Putin.

Just watch.

Putin can have peace just as soon as he ends the war and goes home. That simple.

But in no circumstance should that ****er be allowed to profit in any way from this utterly needless war.

So the upshot is there’s hot air coming out of Putin’s mouth that is forming palatable words. If Putin really wants peace he can pull out of Ukraine any day he likes.

Question: who has taken more territory?

* Russia in the whole of its winter offensive?
* Ukraine in week 1 of its summer offensive?

Putin: We were forced to try to end the war that the West started in 2014 by force of arms.

And Russia will end this war by force of arms, freeing the entire territory of the former Ukraine from the United States and Ukrainian Nazis. There are no other options. The Ukrainian army of the US and NATO will be defeated, no matter what new types of weapons it receives from the West. The more weapons there are, the fewer Ukrainians and what used to be Ukraine will remain. Direct intervention by NATO's European armies will not change the outcome. But in this case, the fire of war will engulf the whole of Europe. It looks like the US is ready for that too.

Putin has extended offers of peace since this started AND four years prior efforts in negotiations both Zelensky and Putin agreed to. But of course carrying them out was another story. It always is.
