Ukraine already has US and Russian security guarantees under the Budapest Memorandum. Neither are interested in honouring the existing ones, so why give concessions to Russia in exchange for another set?

Are you saying Fox News are innocent civilians, and The Hague is a bunch of bloodthirsty Nazis?

I read the article a few days ago, and that is not my reading of it.

He was saying Putin’s best chance to save Russia would have been Trump’s ‘great deal’. Not that Ukraine should to accept it. The article’s just pointing out Russian hubris.

One of my favourite parables is the one where Jesus compares the man loudly proclaiming his righteousness with the one in the same space who humbly asks God for mercy on him, a sinner.

But that’s the sort of Christianity MAGA loathes unfortunately.

Manifest destiny. If you believe in all that bollocks.

Never give up.

Russia reassures itself that us in the West will become distracted and forget you.

We don’t. But you are the bulwark for us all.

Never give up.

Thank you to everyone who went back to Twitter to swim in raw social sewage to find these pearls.

Don’t you get the feeling this is all said unironically?

“Our elections are a sham. Your job is to make the Russian public believe otherwise.”

I really worry that leaders in Europe will still bury their heads in the sand, hoping Trump will come back on side again (though he never really was).

The 28 point plan is a blueprint for Russia to restart the war at a time of their choosing, from further into Ukraine, against a hamstrung Ukraine.

One of those rare occasions Twitt- sorry, “X”, doesn’t fuck things up.

They don’t even wait for Ukraine to torch their foss fuel industry any more.
November 20, 2025 at 11:54 PM
Exactly. This is a very one-sided piece that speaks nothing of Russia’s serious challenges to financially stay in this war.

None of these issues highlighted are unique to this winter, barring the financial one, with Ukraine now dependent on EU money, as the USA has walked away.

I think we’ve finally found a category of Russian soldier to feel genuinely bad for.

The inhumanity of Russia’s war just seems never to run out of new depths to plumb.

Musk has to raise the value of Tesla from $1.4tn to $8.5tn to get the payout.

Part of me thinks they approved it because none of the Tesla shareholders think there’s a snowball’s chance in hell it’ll happen.

Oh, are the Russians going to start fighting now? After 3.5 years of being nice?

Tell us you belong to Putin, without telling us you belong to Putin.

Not far below that drone was a family that were about to have their lives wrecked. And Russia will try again with another family tomorrow. Which is why they must be stopped.

I’d like to see the day no one needs fossil fuels.

But I’d like to see the day no one needs Russian fossil fuels first.

Does that mean that anyone moving from NYC to Texas must bring a New Yorker with them as a tariff?

Does the additional person also have to bring another New Yorker? This could escalate quickly.

For helping wean Europe off Russian fossil fuels, he should be showered in medals and after-dinner speaking invitations.

There’s a metaphor here, somewhere. If only I could put my finger on it…

‘“This red line, I don’t even know where this is. I’ve never been there,” Trump said, according to the official.’

He admits his ignorance on the battlefield, but can’t stop lecturing Zelenskyy as if he was the smartest man in the room.

Strelkov’s solution seems to be to risk the whole Russian Federation for the sake of subjugating Ukraine. Because if they fail it risks the whole Russian Federation anyway.

Since he was in on the ground floor of the horror show Ukraine has had to endure, excuse me a little schadenfreude.
October 17, 2025 at 11:15 PM
More likely it’s the number of Russians trapped in there. If they can’t be rescued, they’ll have to surrender eventually.

That’s a Ukrainian photo op Russia won’t know how to spin.

Sooner or later they will down one. But still, they can’t help lying if it’s expedient.
