    Tell that to the orange megalomaniac in the WH, who still thinks the sun shines out of his master’s bum hole.

  2. Putin and Russia are not yet hurting badly enough to stop. Europe needs to assist Ukraine the hurt them more until they do stop.

    In other news, water is wet. Everybody knows Russia has one goal, the disappearance of Ukraine and Moldova as independent, sovereign states.

    Do we actually have functional intelligence? I think it’s ideologically tainted by whatever swill and mistruths continually coming out of this administration in alignment with interests pursuing destruction of the United States. Tulsi Gabbard does not appear to have interests of the nation at heart.

  5. …in Europe are unchanged, he won’t stop with Eastern Ukraine, he will only stop by being stopped and that is economically.

  6. Over a million Russian casualties, tens of thousands of tanks/armored vehicles/artillery lost and hundreds of billions of dollars of Russian spending later and Putin’s war goals are unchanged.

    People need to remember this when they dismiss Russia as a threat. Russia can endure A LOT of pain and still keep going. NATO cohesion and a unified response is not a given. If Russia attacks a NATO member and only a few countries respond do those few countries have enough firepower to truly force Russia to the negotiating table?

    Well Putin wants all of Ukraine, Trump is failing on his promises to deliver that, but Putin still wants it, even if his minion can’t deliver.

  8. Did they infiltrate a superspy played by Tom Cruise in the Kremlin or did they just listened to what Putin has been saying for the last 4 years?

    You mean like has been obvious the whole time? Maybe US intelligence really **is** *US intelligence*.

  10. Glad to see it confirmed but there was no doubt among.anyone who was already trusting their face eyes.

    Putin has not changed any action since well before he invaded, when those of us watching them already could see he was dead set on invading.

  11. Putin may not have changed his aims, but his capacity to plausibly achieve them has.

    Putin’s pants are around his ankles. Time for his guards to check him for contraband.
