Putin declares he can ‘finish off’ Ukraine - Unleashes New Strikes

Putin unleashed a new wave of attacks on civilian targets in Ukraine and has retaken a border village.

Vlad brushed aside peace moves declaring: “Not long ago I said we’d grind them [Ukraine] down — now it looks like we’ll finish them off.”

Looks like Putin is not willing to listen to Trump and has gone back on this "cease fire".

What is the "Art of the Deal" going to do now? Probably blame Zelensky.


Putin also thought the war would be over in a week. Putin isn't very good at predicting the outcomes of his military actions.
 
Nazi Germany invaded and annexed sovereign nations under the guise of uniting German lands and people, much like what Russia is doing now. At least Russia sucks at blitzkrieg, among other things.

Russia is interestingly like late stage Nazi Germany in the way they WAY over estimate their capabilities.

Indeed. Here's hoping Russia falls just as spectacularly hard like Nazi Germany.
 
The U.S. invaded Mexico to annex land it wanted because it thought it had a “divine right” to other people’s land. Does that mean the U.S. is akin to Nazi Germany?
Absolutely. But the issue is Ukraine & Russia. Your deflection is noted.

….oh really?

So now that we’ve established the U.S. is akin to Nazi Germany, why should anyone be bothered by its complaints?
 
All these Russian threads over all these months show us who sides with a dictator in Moscow.

All of you sane posters should know by now what's in their hearts. What they would support here. What they do support here.

Still deflecting from the topic at hand I see. Russia is in effect the New Nazi Germany. The Mexican-American was was 180 years ago. Stay on topic.

The U.S. didn’t stop with Texas, in case you hadn’t noticed.

Russia can’t be the New Nazi Germany if America is already the New Nazi Germany by your own standard.

The US isnt the topic here. Russia isn't stopping either. Russia is far more Nazi-esque than any other country, except maybe for the former Nazi Germany itself.
 
How's that still not a dictator? All you are saying is he is a dictator for the duration of the war

The Constitution of Ukraine says "No elections while under martial law".

How much more plainly does this need to be explained to you?
 
The authority of elected president automatically ends with the end of his term . There is no provision for auto prolongation of his tenure . Even in the light of martial law and troubles with election campaign .
His duties according to Ukrainian constitution must pass to parliament or someone else .

A Russian has no right to lecture anyone else in the world about how to hold an election.
 
The Russian economy sucks. People don't talk much about that.
Sucks is a masterclass in understatement. Upwards of 40% devoted to war production, Lira-style inflation, massive underemployment and no ability to repay what it owes.

And don't forget serious manpower shortages. Workers are hard to find.

Except that isn’t even remotely true, on pretty much any level.

The US, on the other hand, is a pretty clearly fascist society.

If that happens there won’t be a West left, because that sort of collapse means the nuclear arsenal gets launched.

Russia's military us falling apart. I doubt their nukes are in much better shape. But it wouldn't surprise me if Russia tried to launch nukes. That's how Putin/Russia thinks.

More so under Trump, sure. But not as bad as Putin/Russia.

Which is clearly untrue, as the fact they still hold vast swathes of Ukraine shows.

You were the one who brought up 1945 Germany. If you think the US would hesitate to launch in that scenario you aren’t paying attention.

The historical record pretty clearly shows otherwise. Hitler would have launched years ago.

The fascist tendencies of American society predate Trump considerably, so that isn’t even remotely true.
 
No big loss.

In other words, Russia is a $#!thole.
America is currently murdering random fishermen because it’s military dropping bombs on innocent civilians who can’t fight back makes it feel good.

Spare me the “shithole” sputtering.
