It seems obvious to me that Putin could end the war in Ukraine tomorrow if he wanted to, but he's purposely dragging it out to bleed the west of money, weapons, and eventually men. It's no wonder that President Trump called him "very savy" when he started the special military operation in Ukraine.
Putin want's Russia's Empire back. Russian history repeats itself. The Tsars wanted an Empire but weren't strong enough to rule it, and their Empire collapsed. The communists had an even bigger Empire, but despite their authoritarian control that collapsed too. After every collapse Russia is humiliated, which feeds the desire to build a new Empire. Putin is the latest, and least successful; even with the help of Republican politicians Putin can't take Ukraine. His puppet regime in Georgia is collapsing. All he has left is Belorus and Transnistria.
I've been to Russia and it is in a sorry state. Poor, dirty, shit on the streets of Moscow. Poorer and dirtier than Mexico City.
Most people on here have never visited Russia, or any of the other former Communist countries. It's easy to be taken in by Russian propaganda
Russia is a poor country. Moscow is a shit hole. What is more galling is that Russia is falling behind the countries it used to look down on
I was in Belgrade a few weeks ago. Belgrade is visibly much more prosperous than Moscow. It has a huge population of affluent young Russians who have fled Putin and the draft.
Even back in the days of communism Russia produced great writers, composers, musicians, athletes. They produced real stars. Over the last few decades all of that has gone. For the first time in centuries Russia is out of the big league in sports, culture, everything. A huge blow to national pride.
I have been to Russia on several occasions.I must have looked at different parts than you, although I will concede that every country and City have parts of them that are shitholes. To make a statement like Moscow is a shithole as though the entire City is a festering hole is nonsense.
This is all MSM propaganda. Russia is becoming the greatest country in the world. They're banning all this LGBTQ nonsense and returning to traditional values. They're also cracking down on misinformation and putting lying journalists in jail, could you imagine if our leaders had the balls to do that? They value truth and freedom in Russia. Once President Trump is back in office, I have no doubt that he will set things right with Russia. He'll acknowledge their historic claims over Europe and Alaska, withdraw from NATO, and in return, they will help America become great again. Together, they will crush the global elites and bring in a new age of property, cheap fossil fuels, booming economies, record stock markets, and the largest military alliance ever seen.
Russia has historic claims to these places. Where have you been for the last two years? We've seen numerous justifications for why Ukraine is part of Russia. Also, who is showing you the numbers on the male life expectancy? Is it the World Health Organization? Wikipedia? I would hardly consider these to be reliable.

That's wishful thinking.

Another troll slips in.

Is it repeating? Or is it consistent? From the first hour of Tucker's Putin interview, I took it to be consistent

Are you serious?
You would hand Alaska and Eastern Europe to Russia?
The greatest country in the world with a male life expectancy the same as sub saharan Africa?
You must be having a laugh. It's a shit hole
Nobody is giving Russia back. We kept the receipt, here, I think I have it in my right front library of Congress pocket... 😅
