Thanks again @sweatyman ! Legend
Why doesn’t the EU expel Hungary? Tell 'em to join BRICS instead since they love Putin so much. See how that works out for them.
Late night bump!
Yes!! and get on with it.
One party was blackmailed to a position at the table of peace talks. The other party is staging and still making war.
Yep, it’s over to you now Vlad.
But will Vlad come to the party?
Everything always happens on a Tuesday. So I’ve heard.
Nice sentiment but we’re talking Resident Orang-utan here. Between his bromance with DisPutin and his loathing of Zelensky, I reckon you’ve got Buckley’s.
A nice backhander to the Yucking Fanks.
…"it’s more important for Canada to strengthen links with reliable allies.”…

Everybody needs good neighbours.
I would have thought building an IKEA factory was an act of terrorism.
Not so sneaky.
Yeah. Fancy Ukraine trusting Russia and the United States of Autocracy.
Ukraine doing what they’re good at.

Yep, another MSM article with a revelation that Resident Orang-utan is a conceited, self centred numpty.
Not enough armour I guess.
As much about the decline of Russia as it is about their economy.
Here’s how DisPutin is dismantling his countries economy.
Hungary got muscled by the USA, if ya believe this.
How’s DisPutin gunna deal with this Turkey?
Burn it… Burn it all.
Germany to build up their armed forces. Excellent, what could go wrong. This might level the playing field, and all of Europe.
Bump!
Good morning Blitzers.
A bit of humour to start your day.
You’re preaching to the converted here Kaja.

The very things DisPutin doesn’t want.
I can see these peace talks going well.
We agree with ya Volodymyr, but does Resident Orang-utan agree with ya?
This discussion is supposedly taking place throughout this evening.
Trump and Putin to discuss power plants, land in talks to end Ukraine war
I can’t see DisPutin losing at the bargaining table.
People are still dying, things are still being blown up but hallelujah, Resident Orang-utan says “Peace on you Ukraine”… I think that’s what he said.
I love the smell of hypocrisy in the morning.
DisPutin’s vassal state Serbia is running riot.
“It’s mine.” “No, it’s mine.” “'Tis not, it’s mine.”
I smiled at the Mirror’s definition of DisPutin. It probably should also apply to Resident Orang-utan.
Ya gotta laugh at DisPutin’s demands for peace.
The Polish FM is all over it.
Where’s the middle ground ya gotta wonder.
Resident Orang-utan preparing to sell the Ukrainian farm.
Bang, bang, bang. Stop right there, Ivan, or I’ll shoot.
Almost half?.. The Orange Nong has got 'em bluffed.
Almost half think Trump sympathizes with Russia in Ukraine war: Survey

A nice cover-up. I’d consider the lose of Kursk as being of “significant impact”. Ya ar$e covering lying Yankee ■■■■■.
Calling out nasty bastard war criminals. None of which will likely ever stand trial.
Not a superpower at all “…all Mr Putin has managed to do is capture roughly 11% of Ukraine’s territory, much of it now devastated by his own shells, adding to the chunk of around 7% that he seized in 2014.”
The Economist:
Will Vladimir Putin really agree to stop his killing machine?
The offer of a ceasefire creates a dilemma for the Kremlin
Photograph: AP
Mar 12th 2025
THE BALL, so America’s secretary of state said on March 11th, is back in Vladimir Putin’s court. Ukraine had just agreed at talks in Jeddah to an American plan for a month-long ceasefire, and in return America has already restarted the flow of weapons and information that Donald Trump cut off following his spectacular Oval Office clash with Volodymyr Zelensky 11 days earlier. For once, it is Mr Putin who has a fateful decision to make. It is not clear how far America is prepared to go to ensure he comes to the right conclusion.
A ceasefire does not favour Russia. A temporary pause would give Ukraine a chance to resupply and it might endure, because polling suggests that Russians are tired of war. Whichever side resumed fighting first would invite international condemnation and the ire of Mr Trump. A violation would show the American president up as weak and credulous. He would not like that.
Mr Putin’s problem is that he has not yet got what he wanted in Ukraine. His aim was to subjugate or cripple the country; sever its connections to the West; be rid of its troublesome president, Mr Zelensky; and permanently hobble its armed forces. His overarching ambition, as he has repeatedly made clear in writings and speeches, has been nothing less than to restore Russia as a great power with an extended sphere of influence, starting with Ukraine, its ancient heartland.
In fact, despite having geared the entire Russian economy towards the war effort and sacrificed the lives of an estimated 150,000-210,000 Russian soldiers, all Mr Putin has managed to do is capture roughly 11% of Ukraine’s territory, much of it now devastated by his own shells, adding to the chunk of around 7% that he seized in 2014. Mr Putin may play the mighty warrior visiting the front lines on Russian television, but this is a pitiful return for such a gargantuan effort.
What Mr Putin surely wants is to win from Mr Trump what he has failed to seize on the battlefield. And at times Mr Trump has seemed alarmingly willing to satisfy him. He has repeated Kremlin talking-points that Mr Zelensky is a dictator because he has not held an election since the war began. He has ruled out NATO membership for Ukraine. He has shown little desire to “backstop” a peacekeeping force after a deal, and has excluded stationing American troops in the country. He talks of doing business deals with Russia as if the removal of sanctions were just around the corner. Most of all, his willingness to bully Ukraine at a time of national peril has spilled over into NATO, whose members have started to doubt whether they could count on him.
The danger now is that Mr Putin will try to attach some of his conditions to the proposed ceasefire, by calling for American aid not to restart, or for an early and divisive election in Ukraine, or international recognition of territory he has seized. It is essential that Mr Trump resists any attempt to do this. If he yields, he risks sabotaging his own administration’s agreement with Ukraine. Marco Rubio, the American secretary of state, and Steve Witkoff, Mr Trump’s friend and envoy, have tried to repair some of the damage from the Oval Office disaster, and Ukraine has behaved sensibly, too. Tilting back to Mr Putin’s agenda would wreck all that.
Mr Putin may now try to disrupt and delay things with endless demands for “clarification”. The Americans must be firm about that, too. A halt in the destruction and slaughter that have scarred the past three years would be an achievement for Mr Trump, even if it is only temporary. He has put unconscionable—and harmful—pressure on Ukraine, which was the easy part. On March 11th Mr Trump said encouragingly that he can “do things financially” if Mr Putin fails to take up the offer of a ceasefire. Unfortunately, words are cheap. Now it is time to put real pressure on Mr Putin. Does he dare? ■
