Russia-Ukraine War (continuing)

I'm liking this new Pope. Calling Putin straight out on his imperialistic war.

That’s a nice change from previous pope who regurgitated Kremlin talking points and never bothered to do anything about the kidnapped kids or continual prisoner torture and abuses

Bonus points for being oh so concerned about Nazis while feigning ignorance as to why Russias Wagner mercenaries are named after Hitlers favourite composer.

Note the tattoos displayed on this prominent, and deceased, Wagnerite, Dmitri Utkin.

Trump has kind of moved the goalposts here, lifted the pressure on Putin for an immediate ceasefire

But still if he stands by what he is implying here

“At least they will be able to determine whether or not a deal is possible, and if it is not, European leaders, and the U.S., will know where everything stands, and can proceed accordingly!”

we may finally see Trump putting some serious heat on Putin

Surely even trump couldn't make any excuses if anything happened to zelensky on the trip.

Putin has killed many many before ,and he just denies it, and world moves on. If Zelensky takes a sniper bullet, it will be put down to some rogue shooter, nothing to do with Putin.

Well he seemed to behind the push the other day to impose 'massive' new sanctions on Putin

But the devil and all couldn't get Trump to stick to a consistent line on matters like this for more than a couple of days…

Honestly its Putin who would be afraid to be in the same room as Zelenskyy, that man's been going full tilt at the Gym for the last 3 years he could probably snap Putin in 2 if he wanted to.

unbelievable- Putin suggesting a meeeting on Thursday next in Turkey and Trump going along with it. All in such a SHORT space of time

Who is going to facilitate it

What’s The details of the agenda?
what will be the proceedure.

If America is there has France , Uk, et al also have a right to be there.

re ceasefire before talksTrump has completely ignored the Kiev agreement made a day or two ago re putting pressure on Putin and Trump completely ignoring what was decided there

Trump also ignoring kellogue, one of his advisors - re ceasefire fire before talks begin

And not only Dugin, Patriarch Kirill, head of the Russian Orthodox church will come in for some serious theological discussions as well, I imagine.

Before Johnson arrived, the Ukrainians had already decided themselves that it was not a good deal for them and had decided to reject it, johnson's advice nonwithstanding. But Russians like the blame Johnson. Same as they blame everyone except themselves for all their failings. Putin knew full well what he was demanding in Istanbul, but here it is again, for anyone who may have missed it, and it clearly shows that the terms Putin was insisting on, were 100% unacceptable to Ukraine. Fact is, Putins terms were thinly disguised surrender. But when Putin / Kremlin are challenged on this, they roll out their usual crap that Ukraine had accepted the terms until Johnson arrived and told them not to accept the Istanbul agreement.

Problem for that Vatnik Shìtstain is he failed to account for one thing: Sunk Cost Fallacy. He can terrorise his population, throw people out windows and keep burning money but at some point hes either going to have to look for a way out of this war or hes going to burn Russias economy out first and if the economy goes to shìt then there goes the one thing keeping his dogs from turning on him.

Putin lost this the moment the Ukrainians broke their shìtty army at the gates of Kyiv, its all been downhill since then, hes gained minimal territory over the last 3 years, got uno reversed in Kursk and has squandered the soviet legacy to the point they're running out of armor now.

Eventually its all going to come back to bite Putin in the ass.

it's not that he doesn't want it but clearly somebody has been in his ear telling him not to make it a precondition just focus on the Istanbul talks…

So turns out there’s evidence Russians did set on fire that shopping center in Poland, their embassy is being closed now
