we can only hope

Re: Russia has invaded Ukraine

Doing this on the day Trump sends his bag-man Steve Witkoff to Moscow is quite the power move by Ukraine. Nothing says “no, we’re not going just sign the carve-up you lot are working on right now” than blowing up a Russian general before they’ve even opened the vodka.

You said you would end the war in Ukraine on Day One.

Well, I said that figuratively, and I said that as an exaggeration, because to make a point, and you know, it gets, of course, by the fake news [unintelligible]. Obviously, people know that when I said that, it was said in jest, but it was also said that it will be ended.

This is when Putin gets rid of you.

I think the implication here is this was done by Ukraine.

Trump’s latest Truth Social post, after meeting Zelensky at the Pope’s funeral.

Quote:

“There was no reason for Putin to be shooting missiles into civilian areas, cities and towns, over the last few days,” Trump wrote. “It makes me think that maybe he doesn’t want to stop the war, he’s just tapping me along, and has to be dealt with differently, through ‘Banking’ or ‘Secondary Sanctions?’ Too many people are dying!!!”

Re: Russia has invaded Ukraine

"It makes me think that maybe he doesn’t want to stop the war, he’s just tapping me along,”

You don’t wonder that maybe, just maybe, the penny has dropped?

Well I dont think anyone actually took him seriously. It was obviously nonsense from the start.

So far the Ukrainians haven't admitted it but it would not surprise me.

It is the type of thing Budanov would do and has done before.

Putin announces short ceasefire in Ukraine for VE Day anniversary

The pause is centred around Russia's 80th anniversary celebrations marking the end of the Second World War.

Re: Russia has invaded Ukraine

Good news for Ukraine - Kremlin sock puppet George Simeon has failed to get elected president in Romania. Their general election has been won by pro-EU liberal candidate Nicusor Dan.
