Putin wanted peace talks long time ago
Truce so that they can arm Ukraine. Good luck with that.
TODAY, Your videos always make me happy, so I subscribed!
They banned Russia from Olympics and wants truce. Lol 😂
The Olympics banned Russia. Why would Putin care about it?
Soiled his pants from the Russian nuke drills. Now he wants to play soft! 🤣
My first laugh of the day.
Truce is a tradition, which wasn't always held,. But banning countries from participating in Olympic games is a new tradition.
What a floper 😂
CIA director William Burns wrote the famous memo, that "No, means no" for NATO expansion in 2008 even before NATO summit 2008 where Ukraine was invited.
Chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel at the 2008 Bucharest summit said that NATO inviting Ukraine will be seen by Russia as declaration of war.
Many officials said that this would lead to a civil war that could potentially lead to Russia intervening, back in 2008.
But since that was the goal of NATO expansion to weaken or possibly destroy Russia so that US can pivot it's full attention to China, this plan was implemented.
