US President Donald Trump says Russia has made a “pretty big concession” to end the war in Ukraine by stopping short of taking the “whole country.”

    It was very kindhearted of Putin to not meet his military objectives in the planned two weeks, instead extending the war for three years, in order to make it a more fair contest for Ukraine.

    There, am I doing stooge-speak right?

    Its not a concession. They tried. they came very close to accomplishing their goal. But because of the outcomes of the battles of Irpin, Bucha, Hostomel Airport, and one of the most critical battles of the entire war, Moschun, Russia was defeated and lost their opportunity to quickly topple the government.

    In short. They didnt concede. They got their asses handed to them. And played it off as an act of mercy when they ran away with their tails between their legs.

      And now Putin is trying to win through “peace” negotiations what he failed to achieve through war. But if Europe and Ukraine refuse Trump’s extortion, Putin is going to suffer defenstraphobia for the (hopefully short and miserable) remainder of his life.

    Its been so painfully obvious this man’s been Putin’s bitch since 2016, there’s a reason people were suspecting Russia interfered with that election, his supporters denied it, and now that he’s openly supporting all of his asslickers showing support as well and following their herd like the good obedient sheep they are.
