Harsh reality is Russia will win the longer this goes. Z should have been at the table long ago and isn’t likely to get back any territory at this point.
Arrgh, She’ll be right.
They’re still trying this “you wouldn’t like me when I’m mad” bullshit
I hope if Kamala wins she won’t be such a dove like Biden and allow carpet bombing military targets in russia
Soo… what they are saying is that if Kyiv does not want to talk, when they finally do talk, the chance of Ukraine agreeing to the terms are even less likely?
Is that what is being said here?
And that benefits Russia how?
Says the country who insists not wanting to go to the Peace Conference talks AND “threatens” the West on a weekly basis about a potential nuclear war
Didn’t they get the message? Kamala is on top now, so there will be no peace. Just endless war for the foreseeable future.
It’s what her deep state and MIC special interests puppet masters want.
Not if putin surrenders first.
Give it up putin – your shit is weak and getting weaker by the day.

Good. Let them try to play strong. The more they try the more I’m convinced of the opposite.
Translation: “Ruzzia is definitely not getting desperate because things are not going well.”
In unrelated news: that guy is definitely afraid of open windows now.
Kinda hard for them to have harsher terms. There terms currently already amount to complete and unconditional surrender.
Comedy genius
Just go home, Russia.
