Making a new post as the old one was a few days ago. Thats not a needless bump, right?

Russia’s actions in Ukraine ‘disgusting’, says Trump

US president condemns Russian attacks on Kyiv as Ukraine’s Zelenskyy calls for ‘regime change’ in Moscow.

United States President Donald Trump has threatened new sanctions while slamming Russia’s military actions in Ukraine as “disgusting”.

“Russia – I think it’s disgusting what they’re doing. I think it’s disgusting,” Trump told reporters on Thursday, the same day Moscow’s attacks on Kyiv killed more than two dozens of people.

By my estimate of his 10-12 days deadline, there should be under a week left. Only trump knows what will happen then. Actually I doubt he knows as well. But as some crazies here have actually been right about one thing, the US is the only one who can end this war. Surge weapons, money, training, into Ukraine and take off the leash - this will be over pretty quick.

Russia claims it captured key Ukrainian town as ground offensive gathers pace

Russia says its forces have captured the key town of Chasiv Yar in eastern Ukraine after nearly 18 months of fierce fighting in the area.

The Ukrainian military confirmed Thursday that Russian forces had attacked locations near Chasiv Yar, which lies several miles west of Bakhmut. But it denied the town had been lost. “Chasiv Yar remains under the control of the 11th Army Corps,” the Corps said Thursday.

The Russian Defense Ministry published drone footage showing its troops in parts of the town and said more than 4,200 buildings and structures had been cleared, with about 50 Ukrainian soldiers taken prisoner.

Chasiv Yar had a pre-war population of 12,000 but is now in ruins after two years of airstrikes and artillery attacks.

Russian forces began an assault on Chasiv Yar in April last year, after driving Ukrainian forces out of Bakhmut. Analysts estimate that they have since suffered thousands of casualties in trying to overcome Ukrainian defenses.

DeepState, a Ukrainian open-source mapping site that charts the war’s front lines, showed Kyiv’s forces still present at the western edge of the town. It added that video from the Russian Defense Ministry showed its troops planting flags in two neighborhoods, but said the Russians had no control over those areas.

And one more from a few days ago I thought was fun...
Pro-Ukraine hacker group claims Aeroflot cyber-attack

Russia's national airline, Aeroflot, said it had cancelled dozens of flights after pro-Ukrainian hackers claimed an attack on the carrier's IT systems.

A statement from hacking group Silent Crow said it carried out the attack with the help of a Belarusian group Cyberpartisans.

He's just here to see if he can stop it! Given he said he could get it done within a day, and its now 6 months later and he's done fuck all, I'd venture a guess that no, he can't stop it...

[alach]

Well so far he has done absolutely fuck all in motivating putin to stop anything. In fact Im pretty sure at this point putin himself is well aware of the TACO meme.
Also, why does he capitalize his own name like that? Its just so weird.

Putin Rejects Peace Concessions - Still Wants Full Ukrainian Withdrawal

Russian President Vladimir Putin has reaffirmed that the conditions he set for ending the war in Ukraine in the summer of 2024 remain unchanged. Speaking during a meeting with Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko, Putin reiterated that Moscow still demands a complete withdrawal of Ukrainian forces from the territories of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia - within their administrative borders. He also called for Ukraine to adopt neutral, non-nuclear status and abandon its aspirations for NATO membership. These points, initially presented last year as Russia's prerequisites for halting hostilities, continue to be the foundation of the Kremlin’s stance.

In his remarks on August 1, Putin assessed the negotiation efforts positively, particularly those held in Istanbul, and emphasized the need for long-term peace “without any temporary limitations.” He noted that Russia had proposed the formation of three working groups to engage in online negotiations with Ukraine and claimed Kyiv had responded positively. However, he lamented that no concrete discussions had begun yet, blaming the delays on “excessive expectations” from some involved parties. He argued that meaningful progress could only come through quiet, behind-the-scenes talks - free from media attention or political posturing.

Still unmoved and completely unreasonable terms. Doesn't sound like to me to be serious in any sort of peace in the least. It boils down to basically a; "I will take all this now, then come back and take more later. " policy.

So apparently he just announced redeployment of two nuclear subs to around russian territory. Truth social seems to be defeating the point of stealth.

"This is Biden's war" is some real smooth-brain logic.

Also, the clock is ticking down on this gem (from 2/25/25):

Let's place a bet, there will be armistice within 6 months. Screenshot this and come back to me in 6 months from now.

I was about to say 3 months, but in honor of your selfless commitment to having others die for your empty idealism - I'll make it 6 months.

You can't underestimate Trump, he won the tariff war with EU, he bombed Iran's nuclear facility and forced a ceasefire, he forced a ceasefire with India/Pakistan, he forced the refugees back to their countries. He has done some stuff. Russia is his only failure so far. When Trump decides to take action, it's usually serious and to the point, so you shouldn't expect some useless sanctions from him, this is going to be interesting because Russia is committed to conquer the entire Ukraine, they already got Chasiv Yar and Pokrovsk will follow soon. They are not willing to back down.

I saw in the news that American nuclear submarines are close to Russian sea. Not sure what is going to happen, the next set of sanctions are going to be very serious and military action is also possible.

You can't underestimate Trump

Nobody can. He is an enigma wrapped in a puzzle hidden within a labyrinth playing 42069D chess.

he won the tariff war with EU

*Citation needed.

he bombed Iran's nuclear facility and forced a ceasefire

*Citation needed.

There was a missile strike, and information largely points to it just delaying the program a bit. Beyond that I'm unsure I've seen much to indicate that US strikes were meaningful in the ceasefire that followed anyways.

he forced a ceasefire with India/Pakistan

He did not.

And to reiterate more recently, he still did not.

he forced the refugees back to their countries.

He's actually sending them to third party countries, frequently prisons (without trial), in Africa and Central America, not their home countries. Usually with no criminal convictions.

At this point it's genuinely hard to believe that you've fallen for every one one of these easily debunkable propaganda lies unless it's by pure voluntary choice.

He has done some stuff.

"some stuff" being the very important, operative term here.

Russia is his only failure so far.

And failing to cover up the apparent growing fact that he not only raped children but recruited children to traffic to his good buddy jeff epstein to be raped.

When Trump decides to take action, it's usually serious

Why does he have the nickname "TACO", again? Does it have to do with the fact that he usually "chickens out"?

so you shouldn't expect some useless sanctions from him

May I introduce to you, who appears to be extremely voluntarily ignorant, a useless sanction!

this is going to be interesting because Russia is committed to conquer the entire Ukraine, they already got Chasiv Yar and Pokrovsk will follow soon. They are not willing to back down.

It's weird how the usual suspects are so phobic of links, but anyways - https://www.reuters.com/world/trump-...ia-2025-08-01/

Nothing will happen, there will be no "very serious and military action". Reminder that Russia is on year three of their "three-day operation to denazify ukraine", have been getting beat at sea frequently by a nation with no navy, have had strikes deep within their territory, and generally are struggling to convincingly defeat a neighbor a fraction of their size - even if that neighbor is getting military aid.

in what fantasy reality do you think russia is capable of a direct conflict with US forces? even under secretary kegseth?

I hope you're paid to say this, it would be a shame to use such "intelligent" traits for free.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH Yeah, not the pedophilia, the US dollar at its weakest in 50 years, the economic crash he did in 4 months, the pedophilia, Covid response, corruption, the pedophilia, and hundreds of others. Nope, it's him being a Russian stooge that's is only failing. Go take that stupid somewhere else.

He's a disenfranchised Greek. I've tried to question where he is getting his information from to no avail.
If anyone can serve up a channel of truth for him I'd hope he would pay attention, but at this point he his probably a lost cause.
Its very strange, I only know a handful of Greeks, and 90% are like this. They have such disdain for truth and the world order for such an amazing country and birthplace of democracy.

ANother one?!?! What is it about MMOC that attracts young angry "greek" guys. I think Ulmita, Shlacker, Asstwain, and some other edlge lords went for this bit. But they were really just edgelords living in the suburbs of the US and Canada.

MOstly guys that sound like their downwardly mobile upperclass. Blames their lack of being the Next Tech Millionaire on the corruption in the West. That women and minorities outhustled them for that job at Google.
Which is so sad. I mean the Greak diaspora around here has amazing Greek Life/Food festivals, bunching cuties dancing during the St. Demetrius Festivle, Greek moms that really want to fix you up with their niece/nephew that also happens to be single.

Or similar to those guys using Roman Marble Statues as very Serious Thinkerman Avatars.

And your country is?

Do we have a proof that you are saying the truth? Shall we call you the truthbringer?

All I see from credible/neutral sources is Ukraine losing village after village everyday.

Well, guess what, USA deep state is in panic mode now that their representative failed to buy time and they will start pushing. All evidence show that there will be some kind of NATO - Russia confrontation but it seems this will come earlier than expected because Putin doesn't stop. The original "war in 4-5 years" plan doesn't go well.

I predict that Trump is serious about Russia.

We the Greeks hate and question the world order, if we didn't, we wouldn't exist for 4000+ years. They would have eaten us alive. You foreigners have an affection for ancient Athens, that's only one part of our country. We were being ruled by Kings way more than we did from democrats.

I find this rather amusing after you said you're going to find a russian point of view. Can safely assume your credible sources are 100% the opposite.

I thought it was because POTUS appears to be involved in a pedophile ring and raped kids?

Aaaaaannnnnyyyyy day now.

Russia, the military that's struggled to invade Ukraine, has totally kept their elite, steroid-infused super-soldiers secret and is totes a match for NATO forces and weaponry. The last two+ years of their struggles in Ukraine have really shown that!

I predict that Trump is serious about Russia.

I predict you're wrong. This is a no-stakes bet but I bet I'm right.

Do you seriously think that Trump cares about the Epstein case?

Man...we live in a corrupted world, the elites behind this case who are indeed many are never going to get caught. They are immune to justice.

USA is corrupted just like everyone but it's not collaborative country (like modern Greece is), it puts its interests first. There is a desire for confrontation with Russia, that's clear, the real reason is unknown, it can be to weaken China, rare earths/natural resources, preserve Europe, none knows the real reason.

[Twdft]

Then he can release the files immediately and prosecute everyone involved in trafficking and rape.

You have failed to show the "evidence" before your previous bans, where are they now?

Oh, perhaps they are delayed like, the 3 days special operation in Ukraine.

So, you are saying that Trump is a small dick pedophile and is hiding the files because he is in all of them then? Totally agree.

Even if he is not in the files, he is not going to sell out the other elites, at this level everyone is covering each other, otherwise they risk facing retaliation, it's like the cartel of corruption.
