Putin what about we fast forward to the point where you shoot yourself in a bunker? That would make everything better

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

He can halt along the current lines while still bombing whatever's behind them though.

Translation:

Please don't press us, as we can't hold the line.

[-] AlphaOmega@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

They recently sent in motorcycles in a mass wave attempt to take ground. They are running out of vehicles.

[-] scarabic@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago

This really is a tremendous show of weakness… unless it’s a ploy somehow.

[-] rammer@sopuli.xyz 23 points 6 days ago

The ploy is that when Ukraine refuses it gives the US (Trump/Krasnov) an excuse to stop delivering military aid to Ukraine.

[-] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

yea most likely they want to reduce local and global support to Zelensky by saying "look we offered peace but he did not take", of course they will likely offer some unacceptable terms.

[-] futatorius@lemm.ee 2 points 5 days ago

The greater concern is Trump lifting sanctions and starting to deliver military aid to Russia, or even worse, commit US troops.

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

That makes a lot of sense.

Does Trump care about constructing justifications for his actions though? Seems like he enjoys shooting from the hip and, if ever in doubt, opts for strategies that will piss the most people off.

[-] futatorius@lemm.ee 1 points 5 days ago

He has lackeys to make weak excuses for his actions.

[-] kescusay@lemmy.world 78 points 1 week ago

Counter-offer, Vlad: Fuck aaaall the way off back to Russia, then "fall" out a window so someone else can get started on blaming you for everything going wrong and reverse all your horrific garbage.

Sound good?

[-] notastatist@feddit.org 69 points 1 week ago

I did read right now, that a big depot of munition and bombs got blown up by Ukraine... Maybe he just wants to buy time?

[-] ZagamTheVile@lemmy.world 50 points 1 week ago

OK, we're out of bullets. Let's call it a draw?

[-] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 50 points 1 week ago

You spelled 2014 lines wrong.

[-] LastYearsIrritant@sopuli.xyz 34 points 1 week ago

The borders set in 1994 are non-negotiable.

[-] comrade_twisty@feddit.org 15 points 1 week ago

Absolutely, however it might be necessary to take some 10m strip of land on the Russian side to build a border wall to keep them from invading again in the future.

[-] Nougat@fedia.io 40 points 1 week ago

When the aggressor is on his back foot, and looking to secure his gains by offering "peace," you keep fighting.

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 36 points 1 week ago

Just like that Easter "truce" he offered?

[-] GameGeologist36@lemmy.world 31 points 1 week ago

Just another bait-and-switch, to dupe cantaloupe caligula into agreeing a "peace deal", which the US won't be able to enforce anyways. Moving on. This guys word is worth less than dirt anyways.

[-] LarryLurkman@lemm.ee 26 points 1 week ago

Get the fuck out of Ukraine, Vladimir Puto.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 21 points 1 week ago

Obviously he's full of shit, but it's funny to note that because Ukraine currently has presence in Russia, stopping along the current front line would mean giving up Russian territory to Ukraine.

[-] Kidplayer_666@lemm.ee 11 points 1 week ago

Fine if ukraine is now formally a European ally (full proper mutual defence)

[-] futatorius@lemm.ee 1 points 5 days ago

And veto-proof by the US until we're rid of Fanta Quisling.

[-] Zippygutterslug@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

Might be worth it, but Ukraine deserves it's territory returned.

[-] Kidplayer_666@lemm.ee 9 points 1 week ago

Unfortunately “deserves” doesn’t work in international politics. Otherwise a certain someone would’ve slipped on a banana peel out of a window.

This would be at least a stable peace

[-] rickdg@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Kindly fuck off, Putin.

[-] SecretSauces@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Play the Uno Reverse! Push into Russian territory and annex as much of it as possible whine their forces are weakened

[-] Buffalox@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Maybe Putin is realising that the Russian economy will break before Ukraine?

[-] Litebit@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Putin must be losing ground in Belgorod?
