      This is the only answer.  Russia is already debasing their currency and economy just to keep Putin from admitting failure.

      I imagine that will be delivered by drone. To oil refineries.

      Or something that looks expensive, anyways.

        Ok, I’ll bite: realistically, what would you have me do, in addition to going to protests and generally not giving the fascists the rhetorical space to spew their insanity unopposed?

              Actually, that account is quite good at trolling, because people keep responding to it.

              Stop. Downvote it, report it to the mods, block it, and move on. Don’t feed trolls.

    Putin is really pushing it because Russia is spiraling down in a very tight “and then it got worse” loop that is getting shorter and shorter by the day.

      Especially now that they’ve had to start selling off their gold reserves, which is going to crater the ruble even further.

    Russia will not stick to any deal. Even the complete surrender and subjugation of Ukraine will just lead to Putin putting more focus on his actives in Europe.

    Part of me wants to believe Diddlin Don wants to push this through ASAP so he can claim he did something “worthwhile” before he gets slammed with Epstein file controversy, but the cynic in me believes those files have already been fucked with and altered beyond actual use.

    I’d like for Ukraine to reject this deal but we’ll see what Zelensky does, I guess.

      I talk out of my ass here, but I expect Zelenskyy to unzip his pants and make the helicopter with his cock in response to such a ridiculous and desperate attempt.
