So apparently Putin says he’s willing to negotiate. Bullshit. He just wants to buy some time to get more weapons from Iran, and get some more cannon fodder lined up.
The only thing this excrement will understand is a position of total strength.
You want to negotiate, Putin? Fine, first thing is to bring all those people back to life THAT YOU KILLED, YOU ASSHOLE. That is a start. Can’t manage that? Then fuck you.
There will be a change in the organization of the US government in a little over a week. It appears that Vlad may be counting on a favorable shift in the international political climate.
Ukraine is asking for a peace summit around the anniversary of the invasion. That’s also when a new major Russian offensive is predicted.
I guess Ukraine is trying to deflect that possible 2nd attack with a peace summit?
Putin is already lining up his comrades/turncoats:
Russian state TV celebrates 'brave' Lauren Boebert and Matt Gaetz for undermining Ukraine
Putin’s Russia is the modern Republicans’ endgame/wet dream.
Belarusian soldiers preparing for war:
why were there no female dancers?
It’s more of a circus show than a dance. In one of the final scenes of the movie Patton, the Russian soldiers perform this very dance for General Patton to celebrate the shared victory.
Just how many oligarchs are (were) in Russia? Seems they started running out of convenient windows in country and have started tossing them out of windows all over the place.
All these that are out of Russia, did they move their funds also? Is Putin “inheriting” all the dead oligarch cash and businesses? I can’t see him letting that go to family members. If he manages to successfully flee the country, he’s going to need all the billions he can hold on to to keep up his lifestyle.
Maybe it’s genetic and only effects super rich Russians. Too much of the good vodka and caviar probably triggers it. 
Wiki says 23 dead so far in “accidents.”
What the hell is that? I did some time in combat and I never had to do a backflip, help another guy do a backflip or bend over with my ass sticking out so another guy could jump off my ass to do a backflip. I guess I missed out on the elite training Belarus offers.
Huh, learn something new every day. Looked like a really pathetic gymnastics floor exercise.
They must have discovered that physical agility is the most important element to winning battles.
IIRC, the Italian Air Force in WWII were excellent at aerobatics. Actual dogfighting… not so much.
Well, they got that wrong. Staying alive is the most important thing. Taking an enemy position while doing back flips is a good way not to stay alive. Unless the enemy is laughing so hard they drop their rifles.
Maybe they intend to challenge the Ukrainians to a dance-off.
An episode of zelenskyys-zeroes?
Simone Biles they ain’t!
Is that a mall? I think Debbie Gibson and Tiffany have found the opening act for their come back tour.
Good analysis of a complicated situation.
Zeleneskyy can dance the pants off of any living Russian!
Moderating:
What part of “no political swipes in breaking news threads” do you not understand?
This might merit more than a mod note, but I’m my phone on an airplane, so I’m going to ask @What_Exit to take a look.
Lets leave it to a strong Modnote: No politics in the Breaking News Thread.
Also I hid the 2 offending posts.
