    Nothing surprising here. Putin can’t shutdown his wartime economy without crashing the state, and himself. Expect more and more of these ridiculous headlines and moving of goalposts.

    So… the grade school bully (with a reputation for lying) is promising he’ll only stop punching your friend IF you close your eyes and put your hands behind your back. Hmm.

    And because of what is happening in Ukraine the Baltic states (Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia) won’t want to lose their NATO membership. So it’s just again an empty demand.

    How would that even work? Would Estonia have to station its own (NATO) forces in Finland?

    Would Lithuania and Latvia have to do basic training in Poland?

    It’s obviously not serious.

    Yeah and I won’t stop eating this delicious chocolate until my cat starts speaking German. See, we can all make insane demands to keep doing something.

    F*** off from Crimea and the other occupied territories in Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia, also leave Belarus and we might think about it.

    We should give Russia some of its own medicine. We move out, promise to not move back in, then later on break that promise.

    It’s the only language they understand.

      No no no. Promise to move out, don’t move out, blame Putin for not ending the war in Ukraine because you were totally going to move out.

      I doubt countries sharing a border with Ukraine or Russia would want to take that risk, but let’s ses how these countries reply, if they even bother to.
