Russian invasion of Ukraine

Shalcker sure was. Think these others are just useful idiots at best, treasonous fucks at worst.

It's far easier to do hit-and-run trolling, return to russian echo chambers and coming back later lamenting how everyone else is wrong and coping. A pattern that repeats with Easo and many others

A man living in the baltics, masturbating for russian supremacy, until it comes to him and he's gonna be posting "WHY DOES EUROPE JUST NOT LET ME ESCAPE RUSSIA, I'M A VICTIM!" like that one russian in the past...Comedy gold, keeps posting Russia takes what they want, until war effort wanted to draft him and he's pussyfooting himself out of Russia while crying in MMO-C how evil West closes borders from him.

[Nymrohd]

On everyone saying they want the war to stop. No, I want the war to be won. Wars don't stop, they either pause for a while or one side surrenders. And right now realistically if the war stops, it is Ukraine that will surrender. Maybe not to the extend that Russia wants it to, but still will have to surrender areas not under its control. At some point, if Crimea is under Russian control for two or more decades, it becomes de facto Russian.

Oh my, I had almost forgotten that one . That one was so full of shit, it was hilarious. Almost demands a new category of 'full of shit'.

I know I have posted this before, but I will add another news story for those certain posters out there that seem so very concerned about how the... what was it? Oh right, the "Death Cult of Liberals" won't just end the war.

Russia’s economy would struggle to cope with peace

BERLIN, March 17 (Reuters Breakingviews) - Over the last three years, President Vladimir Putin has often bragged, opens new tab that Russia’s economy has defied the dire forecasts made after his 2022 invasion of Ukraine. GDP shrank by 1.2% that year but rebounded by a healthy 3.6% in 2023 and 2024, according to the International Monetary Fund. The apparent resilience, however, is illusory. Putin has built an overheating war economy. A return to normal could mean a hard landing.

The article is full of data, graphs, and analysis, in case anyone out there, who is concerned, feels the need to inform themselves before posting next time.

Also, in case anyone is keeping score with the play-at-home game, "More evidence donald trump has never read a history book in his life", in a few hours he will be talking to putin on how best to break up Ukraine. Because that has always worked so well in the past, right?

Before anyone corrects me, yes I know he read text books.
But do they really count if they came from trump university?

[Odinfrost]

So, can anyone tell me how Trump wants to televise everything to show his bigman leader powers, like whenever he tries to do something with world leaders, but with Putin, he is holding a secret phone conversation where our only info about what is happening is what comes out of Trumps and Putins mouths, along with their mouthpieces?

[PhaelixWW]

Per Bloomberg:

Russian President Vladimir Putin is demanding a suspension of all weapons deliveries to Ukraine during a ceasefire proposed by US counterpart Donald Trump, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

So Russia would get to resupply during the pause but Ukraine wouldn't.

Sounds totally fair.

Sorry, Trump, don't think this "deal" is going anywhere.

Hope Putin continues to get bit in the ass, until he's either forced to end the war on the rest of the world's terms or forced out of Russia.

US is getting bit in the ass more. This is bad for the US military complex and even worse if the US enters a recession while the EU goes on a spending spree. Investment flight is bound to happen

I actually love all the comments on tt, yt, and whatnot bragging about how the US kept Europe safe and Europe should just come crawling asking for help.

I mean, the idea that the EU is bankrupt or poor or not in a position to just fund shit is hilarious.

Wasn't the whole point of NATO to avoid germany rearming?

Oh well... time to brush up on my german for the inevtiable Anschluss...

Actually, the soviet union, for situations like we are in now.

Harsh.

Personally, I think it's great. Well overdue Germany putting their military shit in the past. Just wondering how the AfD feel about it, given their pro-Russia sentiment

Didnt pick up the history books did you? Re-arming Germany was one of the first things NATO did in 50s. Germany disarmed post 90s

I guess Trump becoming president has it's upsides as well.

[LeGin v4]

Putin agrees to halt strikes on Ukraine energy targets for 30 days, Kremlin says after call with Trump

Which would suit Pootie as Ukraine has been hammering his oil installations

In the meantime he can carry on killing Ukrainians, coz as we all know, Ukraine is really part of Russia and they're all fascists (/s for clarity)

Rapidly approaching the apex where this facade of "negotiation" is going to fall apart. Either Zelensky will give in or Europe will be at open war with Russia without US support.
