US President Donald Trump says Russia has made a “pretty big concession” to end the war in Ukraine by stopping short of taking the “whole country.”

    Its not a concession. They tried. they came very close to accomplishing their goal. But because of the outcomes of the battles of Irpin, Bucha, Hostomel Airport, and one of the most critical battles of the entire war, Moschun, Russia was defeated and lost their opportunity to quickly topple the government.

    In short. They didnt concede. They got their asses handed to them. And played it off as an act of mercy when they ran away with their tails between their legs.

    The world is held hostage by three sociopaths, Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu. Two of them are war criminals, and the third is waiting to happen at any moment.

      I don’t want to excuse Netanyahu here. He certainly belongs behind bars in my opinion. However, he only holds a part of the world hostage rather than all of it. I see him on par with folks like Kim Jon Un or Mohamed bin Salman rather than Trump or Putin.

        And yet, Israel has practically dictated US Foreign Policy in the Middle East, which is a theater of conflict in which everyone is playing, including China.

      Israel is like a city in US. They have 10 million population. They are local, not global players.

      I fully expected you to say Xi

        I agree, the third big single powerful person is certainly Xi. I suppose one can say the “sociopath” is more evident with Netanyahu than Xi, because for now China is able to sit back and let Russia and USA self sabotage to a weaker position while mucking with the rest of the world, while China gets to play comparative good guy in foreign policy. This is of course grading on a curve, they aren’t saints either.

    I hate this timeline. I hate that my manager, a WOMAN, voted for this POS. Every post I make on Facebook about what he did today is an indirect laser beamed thought to her “this is YOUR fault!”

    Its been so painfully obvious this man’s been Putin’s bitch since 2016, there’s a reason people were suspecting Russia interfered with that election, his supporters denied it, and now that he’s openly supporting all of his asslickers showing support as well and following their herd like the good obedient sheep they are.

      I was about to say, they tried. They have been trying for three years. They’ve committed a TON more forces than Ukraine, and still haven’t made significant progress. The invasion is a military failure on pretty much every level, and it’s only the most delusional that think Russia still has any chance of actually pulling off a successful annexation or occupation for any significant length of time.
