The Ukraine war thread

[Renauda]

Amid all else happening in the world at the moment, the Kremlin continues its nonsensical demands and posturing:

In other news Trump admonishes Obama and Trudeau over excluding Putin from their number:

Fact check

It was Harper, not Trudeau who was Canadian PM when Putin got the boot:

So Zelensky did everything Trump asked him to do, signed away mineral rights, agreed to an unconditional ceasefire, and Trump still cut off previously funded weapons supplies.

A lesson to all here.

Trump would never mislead, what are you talking about?

He may be trying to shut the war down, hoping that the recent events in Iran have given Putin pause. If so I think he’s wrong.

Ya think? I am more than certain Trump is dead wrong. Just last week in the wake of the US strike on Iran, Putin stated:

On June 20, at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, he said just that: “I have said many times that I consider the Russian and Ukrainian peoples to be one people. In this sense, all of Ukraine is ours.” He went on to add: “We have an old rule. Wherever a Russian soldier sets foot is ours.”

We keep reading about Russia being hit by devastating blow after devastating blow, but they keep coming.

…..And Putin and Trump keep having self congratulatory telephone conversations.

It's why psychopaths RULE THE WORLD.

Well, did you vote for one of those psychopaths?

[jon-nyc]

People who are able to draw causal connections between different things might think that withholding weapons from Ukraine and not making progress with Putin might actually be related.

It’s called The Art of the Sell Out and Putin is the dealer.

Do you think CO and AJ believe their own bullshit?

I stopped trying to understand magats. I just can’t. They’re a different species.

“Alice laughed. 'There's no use trying,' she said. 'One can't believe impossible things.'

I daresay you haven't had much practice,' said the Queen. 'When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast!”

Easy.
They go with "whatever Trump says."

Say, anyone seen @Jolly lately? He used to have interesting interpretations for what ever Trump says.
