Washington has presented Ukraine with a 28-point plan, which endorses some of Russia’s principal demands in the war, including that Kyiv cede additional territory, curb the size of its military and be barred from joining NATO.
Putin is threatening to release the blow job pictures, many people are saying it
Some of the smartest people are saying it. I walked in here and said “WOW these are some smart people saying it”. It’s not just me by the way, even though many are saying I’m one of the smartest they’ve ever met, they’re saying “sir we know you’re smart but these other smart people are saying this too”.
Krasnov is really just an absolute home run for Putin huh. His puppet is doing almost 100% of what one would do if they were beholden to Putin. That’s all the evidence you even need.
They already have cut off weapons. They have no leverage to force a deal.
Look at me. EU is Captain now.
Which is what Trump kept driving them to with all his strongman tactics. Trump’s influence has a time limit as nations divest from the US. Leverage is something a wise leader works to quietly undermine.
By most accounts US intelligence of where Russian air defenses are has been a major driver of the success of Ukraine’s oil refinery campaign so it’s not quite true that the US has no leverage. Not sure that would be enough for me to give up what they’re demanding if I were Ukrainian but as I’m not I don’t know whether it’ll force the issue.
