    Stay strong! We are with you! Ukraine defends the freedom of Europe, the hole world and the democracy against the evil.

    I find just so crazy how Mr Putin just prefers to fuck over Rusia and Ukraine’s future forever, than to just stop this nonsense war.

    At least I hope there is some will in the world to help Ukraine rebuild.

    yeah yeah he is a narcissistic psycho, but man it just sucks to see how long this war has lasted, and it’s only getting more intense by the day.

      He’s an authoritarian “strong man”. He’s can’t allow himself to be perceived to lose.

        That’s the paradox with these people.

        Actual strong men aren’t afraid to admit mistakes.

        Behind all this strong men rhetoric always sits a lousy coward.

          Another problem with losers like him: That psychopath is living on a day to day base. Planning for anything longer has lost all use for him so he continues whatever keeps him alive for the day.

          The fun fact here is that Putin is entirely aware of that and intends to stay in office for life. If it makes you feel better, console yourself with the knowledge that he’ll make sure the Russian people do everything they can to protect him from that fall.

        He’s bullshitting so much already.

        Couldn’t he sign a peace deal and then claim victory even if the outcome is a stalemate?

          Not if it requires giving up territory in Ukraine. And Ukraine won’t agree to anything less.

      I find just so crazy how Mr Putin just prefers to fuck over Rusia and Ukraine’s future forever, than to just stop this nonsense war.

      The predominant explanation is that nationalist or imperialist ideology drives Putin.

      The other explanation, the reasons given by Russia for the invasion are that it’s a preemptive war to protect their national security - and for those reasons they continue the war. See this case study for some quotes by Avril Haines, the U.S. director of National Intelligence and Jens Stoltenberg, the secretary general of NATO agreeing with this.

      I believe both can be true.
