I have a fair idea who’s telling the truth. Farking Russian filth. I’m hoping there’s a day of reckoning.

It’s a moral outrage that a fark-knuckle like Resident Orang-utan can even be mentioned for a Nobel Peace Prize. Mr. Peace in 24-hours is a long way away from getting a gong for anything other than gross stupidity.

Yep. Everyone wants to snot the Orange Nong. He’s definitely fanning the flames of war.

With Russia constantly lying, it’s difficult to know if their claimed military successes are legitimate.

I’m figuring “absolute nonsense” is the polite way of saying “Russian bull$hit”.

Andriy Yermak, Head of the Ukrainian President’s Office, stated that rumors regarding preparations for elections in the summer of 2025 are “absolute nonsense”

I dunno about you, but I’d sooner have a military confrontation in space as opposed to here on earth.

A solution of benefit to whom? You guessed it, the United States of Autocracy.

The US has come up with a way to combat the Russian shadow fleet while also addressing its national debt through a single solution.

As to Russian bases in the Med, Libya is an option. The Syrian bolt hole may not be lost, given that conflict continues there and depending on the interim government reactions.
Algeria could also be a possibility, particularly if Franco Algerian relations deteriorate further

Let’s hope, BigAl, that those Mediterranean nations are smarter than that. Precedence should be a fair warning to all but the most gullible, or it falls into the most ‘desperate of desperates’ category for some reason.

The fastest and easiest way to Resident Orang-utan’s Nobel Peace Prize is… screwing over Ukraine.

American special envoy Steve Witkoff conveyed a message from the Kremlin to U.S. President Donald Trump, stating that the fastest way to achieve a ceasefire would be recognizing Russia’s control over the Ukrainian regions of Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia
