Putin doesn't want a peace deal. He wants genocide. He wants to make Ukraine a Russ slave state, erase Ukrainian culture, erase Ukrainian language, erase Ukrainian church, and erase Ukrainian people who still resist. You and people like you really don't get it. Give up to Russia and you think he stops. That is insane. Ukraine as a slave state and the remaining Ukrainians as Russ slaves positions him for further incursions west -- Moldova, the Baltics, even Poland. A winning Russia now a total war state also has ambitions to the east in the Stans. Of course the timing of all this is unknown but I can't see a winning Russia not going for Odessa ASAP basically castrating Ukraine. The way to stop Putin, etc. -- both military victory mixed with eventual disintegration of the Russian economy. Yes this could take ten years. SO WHAT? If the west can prevail, it's going to cost much much less in so many ways than caving to Russia (when China is watching closely).

Exactly. That's their game and it's been working too well. The west has been too afraid to help Ukraine actually win instead of just not lose. That's gotta change.

So you're saying cave? Good thing people like you didn't dominate during WW2.

That's believable.

You would know.

Do you deny what is happening in Russia?

This might be a must read for those interested in how fascist dictator Putin has radically transformed Russia and threatens the west. This is much much bigger than just about Ukraine. https://archive.ph/9XHEq MOSCOW — As Vladimir Putin persists in his bloody campaign to conquer Ukraine, the Russian leader is directing an equally momentous transformation at home — re-engineering his country into a regressive, militarized society that views the West as its mortal enemy. Putin’s inauguration on Tuesday for a fifth term will not only mark his 25-year-long grip on power but also showcase Russia’s shift into what pro-Kremlin commentators call a “revolutionary power,” set on upending the global order, making its own rules, and demanding that totalitarian autocracy be respected as a legitimate alternative to democracy in a world redivided by big powers into spheres of influence.

Which are?

Ukraine doesn't need to hit 100 percent to have a big impact.

Not nearly that easy but I'm sure Putin propagandists would love the west to back off like the moscow maga traitors in the US forced for six months.

About 35 percent of the Russian budget for war. They are spending down reserves. That is not sustainable. Propagandists who say things are normal in Russia maybe are fooled by a sugar high.

You're tripping. Putin is all about Crimea. The Kirch bridge is a major military path for Russia. It's not a civilian target. It's a military target. Blowing the bridge would be significant itself bur also signal Ukraine intends to reclaim Crimea. If Crimea goes Putin is literally dead. I don't understand why you personally choose to propagandize for Russia. We have all kinds posting here.

Putin is laughing that westerners help him spread his propaganda.

You sound absolutely giddy over your prediction of Israeli suffering.

More than a few and they're hitting new ones every week. Absolutely this is a multi pronged war.

Yes irs having an effect. Give it time. Ukraine is regularly hitting more and more refineries. If the US had really ordered Ukraine to stop they would have stopped. Ukraine isn't stopping. I get it. You're biased towards Ukraine surrendering to today's Hitler Putin.

They have been and very successfully as well.

There's obviously something up with the heat and instead of facing that some people want to make this about partisan politics. Truly pathetic.

You must made that up.

I would have tipped but now I won't.

For this long!?!

Years ago I took such a boat in Trang province and going back from an island it was getting dark, a storm was approaching, and the boatman was having problems keeping the motor running. No life jackets. One of those "I could have died" moments.

I tend to believe with that much smoke there is fire, but as an ex-twink I would have been thrilled to be sexually harassed by a famous actor like Spacey. Obviously wrong if it gets too rapey, but I'm thinking for all the complainers there must have been many more who were flattered. Of course this kind of thing gets dark when the pursued are fooled into believing the successful person can help them with their careers when they have no such intention, and I personally know someone like that who exploited his success shamelessly that way, but as long as we are talking about adults ... what's the biggie?

Sure she does like a stopped clock is right twice a day.

They are. Do your own research as the Magadonians Q's like to say.
