Pooty-Poot is all in on the ‘Rats’ understanding of the use of the term “Our Democracy”.

Should have negotiated, now it’s too late.

Putin is so in need of a few 9mm slugs in the back of his head.

Russia's deputy foreign minister Ryabkov is demanding NATO withdraw from the Baltics.

Its the SAME demand Putin issued, before invading Ukraine.

Russia demands NATO roll back from East Europe and stay out of Ukraine 12/17/21

Sergei Ryabkov, Russia’s deputy foreign minister responsible for U.S. relations, nonproliferation and arms control, told Russian state news agency TASS that the Ukraine war won’t end until NATO withdraws troops from the Baltics.

According to Newsweek, Ryabkov’s comments mark a shift in the Kremlin’s position, as he suggested that the conflict’s roots lie not only in Ukraine itself but in NATO’s eastward expansion. NATO maintains a strong military presence in the Baltic States, with multinational battle groups and brigades stationed in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.

The Russian deputy foreign minister argued in the TASS interview that resolving the conflict in Ukraine requires addressing “the root causes.”

Another Putin would replace him and the war with Ukraine would continue.

[Apparatchik]

Leave to the Putler propaganda crowd to deny it ever happened, despite it being a matter of record, because they see the word “Kyiv” and automatically think it’s a lie. That’s paranoia.. Try this one on, Goebbels - same report, from Reuters:

Putin Quips That the 'The Whole of Ukraine Is Ours' in Theory

[Glad2bnuts]

All of Ukraine did belong to the Soviet Union, that would be the meaning of “belonged”.

[JonPreston]

If it’s a matter of record, show us.

He’s too busy demanding billions of dollars off of anybody who will listen.

President Trump ditching him at the G7 earlier this week upset his whole begging schedule.

But Zidget will work Putin’s latest stupid comments into his next sales pitch.

[lodi90]

Putin proving once againt there is nothing to negotiate with a genocidal Russian revanchist.

Donald J Trump, the Peace & Prosperity president.

NOW - Trump says "intelligence community is wrong" that Iran is not building nuclear weapons.

Even TASS is reporting Putin’s remarks, Einstein. Sheesh.

[Kazan]

I hope he's right. It would save US and EU taxpayers billions of dollars of he is.

But, most likely, everything east of Dnieper river will be Russian. And, possibly Odessa.

[JonPreston]

I don't take TASS seriously, and I certainly don't take you seriously

[Drew68]

Notice the center patch. "I will take what's mine."

[LastDayz]

All your Ukraine belong to us...
