He is not Hitler, don't be ridiculous. Bibi is the Hitler of our time. Putin does not have any sorta racial purity. He even calls the country he is fighting a brotherly nation that has been turned against Russia.
Ukraine agrees to ceasefire
- Thread starter Phil C. McNasty
- Start date
If you just follow the news on the war more closely (and
I am not suggesting you to read news sources from Russia)
you should know by now how divisive the war is to NATO
and EU members. The war will hopefully end soon, Ukraine
as it was pre-war will no longer exists and business will
resume as usual with Russia.
It won't be long before Putin will cease to be portrayed as
the Hitler of our time by the media. By then ask supporters of
Trudeau what did we spend all the money on aid to Ukraine
for. They shall know the answer better than me.
Wow I wouldn't advise you to travel into the US now that you said that. You would be labeled a terrorist like the people who peacefully protest against Israel. Putin is as ruthless as Hitler and would not hesitate to commit genocide against Ukrainians if he thought he wouldn't get caught, just like his idol Stalin did
So some Russian guys showed you their dicks and now your a pulutzer journalist? Luckily here there isn't just state run media like Fox and there are fair unbiased media like CNN and the AP, who Trump tries to sensor. Luckily these fair media personnel don't get murdered by nerve gas or chopped to pieces in an embassy (yet)
After the 20th or so time, you get a sense Russia just doesn't want to stop invading and killing people.
I tell people again and again that ceasefires happen when people on both sides think they won't get something better by not accepting a ceasefire.
As nottyboi (and Oil&Gas) point out here, Putin sees no need to accept this ceasefire because he feels he is winning right now.
It's why everyone who insists a cease fire can "just happen" because the US says so or whatever is so delusional.
Russia is winning on the battlefield but (according to one Milblogger) slower than a snail. But the question for Russia is their economy and future. Real inflation values are huge, and the death of young men is just adding to their population decline. They also don't have the ability to maintain their military advances as their military (at least the assault elements) are becoming reliant on old men encouraged to join up for increasing signing bonuses; not that Ukrainian recruitment is healthy.
As I said before, Ukraine can't militarily win by reconquering their territory but Russia can still lose.
If Ukraine was solely reliant on Trump, that may be a fair conclusion but Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, and Germany see Putin's Imperial desires as a real threat and would far rather see Ukraine wear Russia down than have Russia rearm and come after them.
Hitler is a huge exaggeration but Putin's world view does not align with what we see as a rights respecting way of life.
Putin staked his reputation on all of Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhia being Russian so I doubt he'd accept any peace process without that.
I do see that Putin is not as respectful of life as the leaders of the west
backing Ukraine. That is why I have little to worry about our troops ever
getting killed in Ukraine. The west will not send troops to Ukraine before
the war is over. If not for Tump's meddling into the war our leaders will
continue sending weapons to Ukraine to get more Russians killed at no
cost of human lives to us to the last combat-effective Ukrainian. Ukrainian
lives are expendable though. But itis their choice to fight the invaders which
we gladly help.
Putin may be losing one of his few EU allies.
How many billions has the USA spent this time? Has Nuland been in Hungary
Nothing, as far as I know.
Hungary has been more aligned with Putin for a long time, though now they are also the same as the US under trump.
All true.
Putin certainly does want an end to things in a way that he likes.
But right now, he doesn't appear to think agreeing to a 30-day pause is in his favor.
So he isn't agreeing to one.
Just a reminder that this isn't even about "a peace process" right now.
It's a 30-day ceasefire or truce.
Nothing was being proposed except "everyone stop shooting each other for 30 days".
It's just some sort of magical "the US has no agency, it just automatically overthrows governments everywhere it sees them" thing?
