Too right. A bit of kabuki theater over the 40,000 (mostly blank) ballot sheets that were used to annexe Zaporizhzhia (population 1.66 million) doesn’t change anything.

Russia lost. The whole world got to see the most ridiculous parade of delusion - four guys signing a bit of paper that is completely meaningless, two of them have been on the Kremlin payroll for years and the other two are opportunists who’ll spend the rest of their lives fearing a fragging from the people who REALLY control their regions.

“ The madness must end.”

Talk to the guy who started it. His name is Putin. He can end this tomorrow. Just order his troops to pack up their **** and leave.

The only way negotiations would start would be if Russia withdrew to its Feb 23 positions. Maybe the Ukrainians would concede Russia's 2014 gains, but that's it.

There are at least two other possibilities.
1)Europe (NATO) capitulates to energy scarcity and orders Zelensky to surrender upon pain of loosing all military support.
2)The new call up of Russian troops enables Russia to take Kiev this winter and dictate terms.

The problem all peace feelers from both sides are running into is that currently Ukraine believes they are winning (why give up parts of the country they are going to retake militarily?) and Russia's government has talked itself into a rhetorical corner (how do you negotiate with NAZIs?, give up territory that you have declared an inviolable part of mother Russia?).

Negotiation is the only way to end this quicker than next year, but I do not see any easy compromises to propose to start negotiation.

Nuclear war’s destructiveness in itself is also a myth.

LOL   Like you have ever tried to live through it.   Have you never heard of radioactive half-life?

Russia annexes parts of Ukraine. Putin considers those regions part of ‘Mother Russia’.
Ukraine attacks Russian troops in those regions with US and NATO supplied weapons and support.

How is Putin going to respond to an attack on Mother Russia ?
I think nukes are NOT off the table.

“The Invisible Russian” a new show now filming, about a third rate under performing military using poorly maintained equipment, which suffered humiliating losses to a much smaller county but managed to conquer the world using blackmail and propaganda.

Pre-release critics universally panned the show. May never see the light of day. Alas!

Nope. Not even Crimea now.

That’s just saying Russia can and should be allowed to do anything they want because they have nukes.

The article is based on a small bump and assumed it will become a trend, but it doesn't look like it.

It's time you delusional freaks

Look in the mirror. You make Baghdad Bob look sane. At least Bob never believed his own propaganda. I think he retired somewhere too after the war, lives as a regular joe in some Egyptian city. You? You're headed for some kind of a crack up. No peaceful retirement for you. Just ever growing madness.

The United States, NATO and Ukraine are in for a rude awakening. I believe that Putin is going to give the west a few days to contemplate his stark warnings and take the necessary step to start winding down their support for Ukraine. But the west is insisting–MORE COWBELL.

Here are Putin’s likely responses:

*Deploy the Russian Army to Donetsk and complete the destruction of Ukrainian forces there.
*Turn off the power and lights in Ukraine.
*Attack and destroy all Ukrainian military bases still intact in Ukraine.
*Attack and destroy Ukraine’s command centers. *Attack and destroy transportation grids used to supply American and NATO weapons to the Ukrainian Army.
*Take control of Nikolaev and Odessa.
*Take control of the Transnistria in Moldova.

The U.S. and NATO strident threats against Russia will be exposed as hollow rhetoric.

At least someone is finally admitting the war Ukraine has been waging on Russian-speaking Donbas since 2014 was a pretty big and bloody one.

No one has said otherwise, though Russkies and their muppets have claimed that Ukraine has been terrorizing the Donbass, when in reality, Russia was even using Donbas as a training zone--knowing that no large scale retaliation could be done--to terrorize Ukraine. They had Russian soldiers practice firing heavy long range artillery at Ukrainian positions on a regular basis, killing and wounded on a daily basis for some years.

They're already there! And the recent draftees are shit and not helping!

Turn off the power and lights in Ukraine.

You guys claimed this was being done 2 or 3 weeks ago. Lights were out only for an hour in most places when you guys said this was the beginning of the end! (Similar to how Trump was always FINISHED after this or that event.)

Attack and destroy all Ukrainian miltary bases still intact in Ukraine

They've tried! They can't. Hence why they're bombing civilian targets in Odessa. They prefer blowing up apartment buildings to hitting "military bases."

Take control of Nikolaev and Odessa

Ha ha ha ha!

Take control of the Transnistria in Moldova

HA HA HA HA HA!

“Kamil is a gift and hopefully will obtain continual prominence after this conflict is over.”

He is young and hungry and from there, being a Tatar. Kamil will do OK and better than OK. He works for a good type of NGO. In DC I believe.

In such a country as Russia minority member can hardly become the supreme leader.

Это новость для меня, парень.
