On Feb. 24, 2022, I—Vladimir Putin—sent troops into Ukraine to conduct a special military operation. As the president of Russia, I obviously expected resistance from leaders of certain key world powers, but I must say I’ve been surprised at how the United States, specifically, has reacted.

    Actually, what am I saying? It’s not like you’ve intervened. You haven’t established a no-fly zone, and you’re certainly not going to let Ukraine into NATO. The most you’ve done is send weapons, which only prolongs this. So maybe you do love it?

    TRUE. Can we stop pretending like weapons will fucking solve this?

      Letting the Russian government oppress Ukraine won’t solve this either. We’d all prefer no fighting, but fighting is better than letting Russia bully their way.

        Did you read the part I quoted? There’s a lot that could be done to disable the Russian government instead of just trying to prolong the war.

          So you want Ukraine to join NATO now? Or establish a no fly zone which means NATO war with Russia??

          Sorry I live in Germany I value my life and non-radioactive city.

          I am pro sending weapons though, Ukraine seems to want them.

            Holy fuck, obviously Russia isn’t going to try and single-handedly take on all of NATO. They’d have to back off which is why the US is sending weapons instead of deescalation, because “defense” and weapons is one of the biggest drivers of the US economy.

              This is so funny because Russia has the most advanced military in the world. Particularly hypersonic missiles, which the u.s. wont have for years. And working missile defense systems.
