    Russia will not stick to any deal. Even the complete surrender and subjugation of Ukraine will just lead to Putin putting more focus on his actives in Europe.

    Part of me wants to believe Diddlin Don wants to push this through ASAP so he can claim he did something “worthwhile” before he gets slammed with Epstein file controversy, but the cynic in me believes those files have already been fucked with and altered beyond actual use.

    I’d like for Ukraine to reject this deal but we’ll see what Zelensky does, I guess.

        Ok, I’ll bite: realistically, what would you have me do, in addition to going to protests and generally not giving the fascists the rhetorical space to spew their insanity unopposed?

    Putin is really pushing it because Russia is spiraling down in a very tight “and then it got worse” loop that is getting shorter and shorter by the day.

      I imagine that will be delivered by drone. To oil refineries.

      Or something that looks expensive, anyways.

      This is the only answer.  Russia is already debasing their currency and economy just to keep Putin from admitting failure.
