It was very kindhearted of Putin to not meet his military objectives in the planned two weeks, instead extending the war for three years, in order to make it a more fair contest for Ukraine.
There, am I doing stooge-speak right?

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Then Islamic terrorists made big conncession by not hijacking every airplane and crush it into building.
Its not a concession. They tried. they came very close to accomplishing their goal. But because of the outcomes of the battles of Irpin, Bucha, Hostomel Airport, and one of the most critical battles of the entire war, Moschun, Russia was defeated and lost their opportunity to quickly topple the government.
In short. They didnt concede. They got their asses handed to them. And played it off as an act of mercy when they ran away with their tails between their legs.
And now Putin is trying to win through "peace" negotiations what he failed to achieve through war. But if Europe and Ukraine refuse Trump's extortion, Putin is going to suffer defenstraphobia for the (hopefully short and miserable) remainder of his life.
Things a rapist would say.
Things a rapist is saying
He could have killed her too, but he ONLY raped her. What a beneficent act. /s
It's even dumber than that. Because, using the same parallel, he didn't do it only because she kicked him in the balls and pulled out a knife (meaning: Ukraine defended itself, it was not Moscow's decision to stop).

Its been so painfully obvious this man's been Putin's bitch since 2016, there's a reason people were suspecting Russia interfered with that election, his supporters denied it, and now that he's openly supporting all of his asslickers showing support as well and following their herd like the good obedient sheep they are.

Exactly what Putin's bitch would say. Not surprising.
For someone who claims to be an old school masculine individual he is an incredibly insecure whore.
if Russia could have seized all of Ukraine they would have already what a load of shit
what a dumbass
Funny way of saying they tried and failed.
Something something 2 week special operation.
Concession? They tried to do exactly that and are still trying.
Trump really is a Russian
Look at the stupid America has unleashed on the world.
Put your dicks away, you’re stinking up the place.
I hate that so many in my country are oblivious to the repercussions of electing this monster.

Does he know what concession means?
That's where you buy the hamberders right
Every accusation is one?
The world is held hostage by three sociopaths, Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu. Two of them are war criminals, and the third is waiting to happen at any moment.
I don't want to excuse Netanyahu here. He certainly belongs behind bars in my opinion. However, he only holds a part of the world hostage rather than all of it. I see him on par with folks like Kim Jon Un or Mohamed bin Salman rather than Trump or Putin.

Israel is like a city in US. They have 10 million population. They are local, not global players.
I fully expected you to say Xi
I agree, the third big single powerful person is certainly Xi. I suppose one can say the "sociopath" is more evident with Netanyahu than Xi, because for now China is able to sit back and let Russia and USA self sabotage to a weaker position while mucking with the rest of the world, while China gets to play comparative good guy in foreign policy. This is of course grading on a curve, they aren't saints either.
What is this?! Nuanced thoughts that recognise that everyone is an arsehole? On my internet?!

Anybody but Trump would have died of shame long ago.
That’s a world I’d like to live in. Where asshole grifters could just die of shame. No more grifters.

I hate this timeline. I hate that my manager, a WOMAN, voted for this POS. Every post I make on Facebook about what he did today is an indirect laser beamed thought to her “this is YOUR fault!”

Not for the lack of trying
Fuck the US. It's on the same level as Russia and China for me at this point.
China's honestly gone up a rank, and that isn't because it has changed
Who stopped them, motherfucker?
I guess by that standard, I made a "pretty big concession" by not doing that 3rd push-up. I totally could have, promise.
Oh if they could, they would
I was about to say, they tried. They have been trying for three years. They've committed a TON more forces than Ukraine, and still haven't made significant progress. The invasion is a military failure on pretty much every level, and it's only the most delusional that think Russia still has any chance of actually pulling off a successful annexation or occupation for any significant length of time.
Let’s give thanks to daddy Vlad.
If the Chinese leader acted like this they would be lighting police stations on fire. Why are Americans limp dicked?
Trump the coward. The definition of 'getting peace' is to just make the smaller side capitulate to the bigger one. And then act surprised when said peace doesn't hold long.
No surprises that Russia is volunteering to mediate the Iran-US conflict either. Friends always watch each other's backs.
A mediator doesn't take sides. It's the most basic principle. If you're gonna do that - taking the easiest and cowardly way - just step aside and let more competent people handle it before you make an even bigger mess. Some 'help' simply isn't worth the hassle.
And Russia did not take more land for a simple reason - not because of concessions or kindness, but because the small David held their ground against the Goliath invading them. It's that simple, nepo crybaby.
The definition of ‘getting peace’ is to just make the smaller side capitulate to the bigger one.
And grabbing a piece of the action while rewarding the aggressor.
