Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that Russia had trapped the remaining Ukrainian soldiers in its western Kursk region, where they have held on for more than seven months in one of the most important battles of the war.

Fucking war criminal.

Throw him out the window of a crashing plane in poisoned underwear.

Hm this is going to be a real speedbump on the way to Trump's Nobel

[-] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I heard that Duterte got his Nobel price for his hard work in the Filipines! C'mon putin, visit Cancun but why not have some touchdowns along the way. See if you can tell interpol from cute dancers or maybe food servants? The interpol has your price! Come get it!

There will be peace when there's nobody left to fight.

Technically correct dictator 🥲

He cherishes peace with all of his heart. He doesn't care how many men, women and children he kills to get it

Nah you can totally trust people who use the terms "or die" in peace negotiations

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago

It astounds me when sarcasm as thick as this still isn't detected.

[-] Naevermix@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago

So more weapons and aid to Ukraine it is then.

[-] cool@lemmings.world 4 points 1 day ago

They can't win without additional troops.

I wish I could say I don't know why you people don't realize it, but I get it now.

[-] Tuuktuuk@sopuli.xyz 12 points 1 day ago

The Russia cannot win without additional troops either. And they cannot get those.

Eventually the Russia's economy will collapse, and at that point it will lose the war and has to leave Ukraine.

Ukraine cannot win the war, but has enough support that it also will not lose it. The Russia cannot win the war, and doesn't have enough support to avoid eventually losing it.

Once the Russia has lost the war, it has to leave Ukraine, because then there's nothing it can do to stop Ukrainian forces from taking its territories back.

It is irrelevant that Ukraine cannot win the war, since the Russia is doomed to lose it.

[-] scarabic@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Yeah but when has a grand empire ever actually bankrupted itself fighting some small, tenacious enemy? /s

[-] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

In the words of The Dread Pirate Roberts: "Death First!"

[-] magic_lobster_party@fedia.io 10 points 1 day ago

That’s not a mutually exclusive or

Headline will probably work as well if you just switch positions of "Putin" and "Ukrainians".

Edit: The words in the headline, you dinguses. Switch the positions of the words and the headline will probably be true just the same way 🤦😄

[-] Tarquinn2049@lemmy.world 29 points 1 day ago

You are not good at your job.

[-] BatrickPateman@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Why? Given what Putin ordered to be done to Ukrainians I can imagine that many if not most would like to see him surrender or die himself.

[-] Tuuktuuk@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 day ago

Dude, how do you suppose Ukraine would kill everyone in an area 7000 km wide?

[-] BatrickPateman@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

You, and 67 other people didn't catch my drift. Edited the comment to make clear what I meant.

Let's delve a bit deeper into this: The Russia surrendering means it exists only within its borders. Ukraine is not going to kill Russians inside the Russia, nor do anything else to them either. They kill what they have to, in order to get the Russia out of Ukraine.

Ukraine surrendering means it exists within no borders whatsoever. The Russia is killing Ukrainians inside Ukraine, and will continue doing so even if the war ends.

So, Putin says Ukraine must surrender or all people of Ukraine in Ukraine will die. And you're saying it could be said that Ukraine "says" the Russia must surrender or all people of the Russian Federation in Ukraine will die. I think there's a very important difference between these two. While it would be idiotic to kill all Russians (Rossijskie) in Ukraine, it would still mean "only" killing them in one country outside their own. Killing all Ukrainians in Ukraine would mean killing them in their own country.
