    I’ve seen a lot of things in the last few years that surprised me, but this may be the first time I’ve seen a headline that was a question where the answer is yes.

      Well that kind of attitude is giving Putin a massive victory. We’re watching the US claim they’re out of money, NATO giving Ukraine bad news, a stalemate with Russia controlling 20% of the land. But instead of trying to understand the situation, people scream Russia can just leave. They can leave laughing all the way to Kyiv at this point unless something changes.

      So yeah, we need to ask our leaders are you holding out. If Ukraine has any hope of victory, MORE people need to start questioning the western leadership. You can’t just listen to ass kissers, you need to listen to criticism as loudly.

    futility of negotiations

    How do you negotiate with someone who invaded your country and whose only poison that “your land should be my land”?

    Someone who has consistently lied since long before the start of the fighting?
