Ukraine war: Russia demands annexations recognised before talks

This is always the problem when anyone gets too optimistic on the chances of talks. Russia want the war to be a victory with territory gains.

Putin needs to take a long walk off a very short pier.

Why anyone would align themselves with Putin at any time is beyond me.....

Seconded.

Putin says the the risk of nuclear war in the world is rising. Yeah, thanks to you buddy.

 

[Hobgoblin]

Afraid so. It wouldn’t be surprising if very bad things happen next year.

 

[squeekness]

I hope not. I want a Ukrainian win to cool things down.

At some point, Ukraine is going to have to be able to go after sites that are attacking them; whether they are in Russia or not.

It's ridiculous that they are getting the S*** bombed out of them; often from Russian soil and they aren't "allowed" to strike back.

Now Russia is whining about having been attacked while dropping cluster bombs on areas offering humanitarian aid. It's absurd. Mom!!! Mom!!!! He hit me back!!!

This is common for bullies. They can dish it out but can't take it.

So......let the republican whining about how unfair the "trade" was to get BG back....

Now, it appears that the deal to get Whelan (who might not be the greatest person in the world, but probably doesn't deserve what has happened), was to release an assassin who is imprisoned for life for murder in Germany.

Someone with some hash oil for an international arms dealer and a possible spy for an assassin.....

Any questions?

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

The arms dealer already served the vast majority of his sentence so it's not the worst deal.

Trump also sent arrested Russian agent Maria Butina back to Russia where she was rewarded.

Trump also freed the leader and co-founder of the Taliban (Baradar) from prison along with 5000 Taliban fighters as part of 'peace' negotiations. They then resumed fighting in Afghanistan and now lead it.
