Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that Russia had trapped the remaining Ukrainian soldiers in its western Kursk region, where they have held on for more than seven months in one of the most important battles of the war.

    Europe, I hope y’all are doing the whole “speak quietly and carry a big stick.”

    Because if Putin steam rolls Ukraine, he’s not stopping there, and now he has the US government under his control too.

      If Europe really wanted to stop Russia, they would’ve sent armies into Ukraine.

      “We don’t want to escalate because it might start WW3!”

      But Putin is going to attack you guys anyways when he’s done with Ukraine.

      “Yes, but this is the rhetoric dumbasses have been told to peddle so that’s what we’re doing!”

      I still remember when people said Ukraine shouldn’t mine its border because it would be seen as “escalation.” Funny how the wrong-crowd always scatters like roaches after the damage is done.

        Ukraine asked for it. By the way she dressed. If Ukraine didn’t want to be invaded, she should have just kept an aspirin between her knees

      They can’t win without additional troops.

      I wish I could say I don’t know why you people don’t realize it, but I get it now.

    So… Let me check I get this right on the timeline.

    America Europe Ukraine meet, agree to a 30 day ceasefire. Agree this tests if Russia is serious about ending the war. Putin gobbs off, surrender or die.

    Categorical that Russia is not serious about ending the war.

    Next steps boys

    Headline will probably work as well if you just switch positions of “Putin” and “Ukrainians”.
