The Russo-Ukrainian war started at 4.30 AM on February 27th 2014 when Russian troops took control of the Crimean Parliament building in Simferopol. The invasion of Crimea was followed by the invasion of Donbass in March 2014. The war has been going on ever since.
I think Iranians got fucked over by the U.S. just like Ukrainians. Putin called Trump and asked him to back off. Trump follow his master's orders. Iranians pay the price.

Anybody with a brain knows the "peace negotiations" are a rain dance. Still, the world plays along because the baby-man in Washington wants it and the most evil man in the world supports him. The rest of us are just idiots without any say.

Yet another massive Russian attack on Ukraine last night.
Russia attacked energy infrastructure in the western parts of Ukraine.
Emergency electricity shutdowns in Ukraine.
There are injured and a lot of damage.

Who came up with the idea of Putin changing his calculus and then negotiate a peace? Is there anything anywhere that supports that idea? Has Putin ever backed off before? Cut his losses and called it a day?

I smell Russia a long way in the Iran - U.S. deal. I guess Iran asked Russia for help to avoid a U.S. attack. Russia's interests were also at stake since Iran is an important arms supplier, and provide a safe route to the ocean. So Putin ask Trump to back off and offer a face saving deal.

In my opinion the talk about security guarantees is just a way to fool Ukraine into signing a "peace" agreement that let Russia win the war while Ukraine is made to believe it's safe. Just like the Budapest Memorandum but far worse.
Is there anybody who actually believe that Ukraine's allies and the U.S. will actually provide real security guarantees? Isn't that the highest level of phantasy? The Trump admin might just break the agreement, the Europeans might chicken out when it's time to deliver.

Make no mistake. For Europe Russia's war against Ukraine was always a choice. At anytime since Putin came to power Europe could have limited Russia's aggression, but it chose not to. At anytime after Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014 Europe could have helped Ukraine to win, but it chose not to.

Exactly. If Europe wanted to stop the terror, push Russia out of Ukraine and make sure Russia is pacified it could do so with a stroke of a pen. It is all about political will. The resources to win are available in abundance.
Always remember. Not defeating Russia is a choice that Europeans and Americans are making. Nothing more, nothing less.

I have lost count of how many times people have said I am too conspiracy minded with regards to Russia. But I have very often been proven right. However, it never occurred to me that maybe Epstein also had a Russian connection.
So Putin is all over the Epstein files. It would come as no surprise to me if the Epstein organization was a front for Russian covert activities to be able to blackmail American establishment figures.

Russian terror bombing of Ukraine continues. Ukraine's allies donate generators but not long range missiles to strike Russia's capacity to terrorize. Western media ignore the humanitarian disaster altogether.
Ukraine was rocked by a massive overnight Russian assault, with hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles slamming into the country’s energy system.
Rescue and recovery operations are continuing across the country.

Flying the flag of the Islamic Republic of Iran is the same as embracing the slaughter of tens of thousands of innocent Iranians who protested for freedom. People embracing that regime should be isolated and pushed out from wherever they are.

Some very smart people in Ukraine are probably working on new concepts for air defense. I will not be surprised if Ukraine will develop a top-level air defense industry before too long.

The worst thing about the ongoing ”peace negotiations” and Trump’s Greenland gambit is that they distract from Russia’s ongoing humanitarian warfare.

Terrorism. Would get massive news coverage if it happened anywhere else. But Russia is protected by both media and western governments. God forbid they would call Russia out for its crimes.
⚡️Update: 'Unprovoked terrorist strike' — Russia attacks bus carrying Ukrainian civilian miners, killing at least 12, injuring 16.
The attack marks "the largest single loss for DTEK since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion," CEO Maksym Timchenko said.

For years, an online meme phrase spread in the Ukrainian segment of internet, saying that a pedophile lobby was working against Ukraine. Seeing how many anti-Ukrainian figures show up in the Epstein files, from US elites to officials in Slovakia, it no longer feels like a joke
