He may have been speaking at an economic forum, but that didn’t stop Vladimir Putin from issuing his most hawkish comments on Ukraine in a very long time.
During a Q&A at Russia’s flagship investment event in St Petersburg, the Kremlin leader was asked what his end game was in the conflict.
He replied: “I have said many times that I consider the Russian and Ukrainian people to be one nation. In this sense, all of Ukraine is ours.”
The answer received rapturous applause from an auditorium full of fawning politicians and business figures.
And there was more.
“There is an old rule,” he said. “‘Where a Russian soldier sets foot, that is ours’.”
In short, he was saying that he wants the whole lot.

Okay, so are we done placating him with bullshit peace talks? He learned that stall tactic from Netanyahu.

Funny how this fucking bastard pretends that Ukraine isn’t actually a problem for him, that it didn’t humiliate him in front of the whole world.
And yet, everywhere and always, all he ever talks about is Ukraine.
This creature, barely even human, is obsessed with Ukraine. He’d burn the entire world down just to destroy it. As long as he’s alive, he will never stop trying to wipe Ukraine out.
He’s a sick man, and so is his entire inner circle and that horde of orcs he calls a population.
There’s no geopolitics here anymore, no NATO, no complex long-term strategy talk. It’s just pure madness born of humiliation, envy, rage—and of course, hatred.
All his motives and actions over the past four years (and before that too) have been so petty, stupid, banal, and unoriginal, that any woman who’s dealt with an obsessed, abusive man-child after rejecting him would be a far better analyst on modern Russia than an entire team of ‘geopolitical experts’

Indeed, when USA can bomb another country on another continent just because they can…, why can’t Russia or China?

Because Taco is a laughing stock in his eyes. Bombs Iran, but doesn’t have the balls to even sanction Russia.

Time for America to test out some more precision strikes on Moscow.

Man, the future of Earth really looks lousy …
The ”best” case scenario, when this criminal croaks one day, Russia will explode in a civil war with god knows what kind of horrific consequences. Americans will meanwhile destroy the Middle East, so we’re just waiting for the Chinese to do their thing.
All of this, while the Earth is becoming uninhabitable.
Do not have children.

Ukraine needs their own nuclear weapons, if they have such an idiotic neighbor. Also, constant air-raid in Moscow- will lead to peace

It’s either kindergartens, hospitals, historical buildings, or nuclear strikes, the special mission lives.

He’s finally admitted that his ultimate goal is the complete annexation of Ukraine, no matter the cost.
It’s almost laughable how he resorts to nuclear threats like a child throwing a tantrum when someone takes his favorite toy.

Sad that no one in his midst hates him enough to off him. He’s a true dictator and on top of that utterly insane.

He saw trump is doing it anyway so he just made it clear: “I won’t do things for Iran if you don’t mess about Ukraine.”

Using nuclear bombs, but contaminating the country/area you want? Where is the logic?

The best campaign so far for the Baltic states and others leaving the Ottawa convention against landmines.
