His usual “Just give us what we stole and we’ll call it even” bullshit?

His resignation and suicide would do it

No, I will celebrate if he dies.

I wasn't in any doubt. I was poking fun at the tropey AF tradition of the FSB targets to suddenly off themselves at curiously convenient moments.

Ahh, thought it was more like people using terms like unalive to avoid saying what they actually mean.

TBF, "unalive" is just saying the same thing with different sounds. It's juvenile to claim it's some genius loophole, et al. 🤷🏼♂️ (re: the concept, not aimed at you, personally)

Putin broke his own "ceasefire" and killed Ukrainian civilians this weekend. What this guy says is really useless.

tinfoil opinion: probably mainland meatgrinds are shrinking and siberian people dont want to put their people on the meatgrind and if mainland enforces that shit, then hello coup, not fun to have wars on both sides if your population and resources are shrinking. Or, just straight up no mo money and either china or orange titler can't grant more than whats on the table.

US midterms this fall. Needs Trump still in power.

Ukraine has developed drone manufacturing that puts his reign at risk. I hope Ukraine isnt overtaken by a military industrial complex over the next 10 years.

I've also heard that Ukraine has been cutting deals with arms manufacturers to allow them to test their new gear in real battlefield conditions. Russia is not enjoying that deal.
America lost 58,000 in 10-15 years of Vietnam, and 4000 in 20 years in Afghanistan. Putin has lost over 1.3 MILLION in only 4 years! It's a meat grinder.
They went from volunteers, to a draft, to prisoners, to snatching military age males off the street, to mercenaries. They are running out of options for warriors. You can only kill so many children before enough citizen parents get pissed off enough to make things really hot.

They're going to purge the military and change tactics. That's why they were downplayed in the May Day parade.
