Not really. But babushkas on the metro with no war stitched on their handbags, oligarchs at threat of losing billions, battalions surrendering and thousands on the streets protesting in Russia do. Why is he begging for negotiations just two days into his glorious invasion?

Good question.. Also he stopped the invasion in 2014 after negotiations called Minsk accord. Some agreements were reached, why are these agreements no longer viable? What is really prompting him to invade this time when he could have just continued back in 2014 when inconvenient to him government took over? And if he is ready for negotiations now, that's great, let's end this, what's the hold up?

The hold up is dear old midget Putin. He can't find the shoes that make him look taller.

I don't know what prompted him to order this disastrous invasion. Radiation poisoning, syphilis, small penis, ego? It's clearly not about Russia's security, people or lol denazification. What does your commissar tell you today?

Is there any indication that he won't get exactly what he wants? The Ukrainian 'victories' all over twitter and reddit amount to nothing. The Russian tanks are still advancing from the East and North and there is no suggestion that the Ukrainians are capable of actually stopping them.

At some point either this weekend or early next week, they will need to take a logistical pause, unless they've adopted some sort of means of supplying fuel and ammo and rockets via underground Earth bending. We will also see what the extent of Ukrainian stay behind operations are. The Russian conscripts need to eat, have weapons, and get from Point A to Point B. Even if they defeat the Ukrainians, they then have to ensure the continuity of their puppet government - and that depends on (among other factors) the stability and presence of Zelensky's government and military forces, the presence of a contiguous area under Zelensky's occupation, and the situation in Occupied Territories.

At a minimum the Russian hope for a quick decapitation of Zelensky's gov't failed when the Spetznaz were beaten back from that airport.

Russian Army is advancing further in than they EVER did in Georgia and their aims in Crimea/Donbass were FAR more limited.

On the flip side, Putin has his T-84, T-90, and the few dozen latest tanks in reserve (maybe if NATO actually does intervene? Maybe to soak up Ukraine's Javelin supply?) He's launched nothing across the western end of the border.

And if they don't join NATO, they can expect to be Russian states in a few years.

Germans are weird people.

They have terrible cuisine.

They pride themselves in business and industry but foreign firms are way better.

Germany is just kinda there. It’s a rust belt country.

No wonder Germans don’t have children either. Nothing to look forward to.

Go to hell you ignorant prick.

Refute the points made.

Germany has one point of pride. Their industry. However in almost any sector, German businesses are getting crushed by American and Asian businesses.

Outside of industry, Germany has nothing of note.

German tfr is minuscule.

I only speak facts.

They have a wonderful culture, and architecture. Gorgeous castles and history. Their food is amazing (I don't eat meat and found plenty to eat there that is wonderful). They have many, many outdoor activities, hiking, etc. Bavaria, alone, is spectacular.

We should bring them here first. All of them.

Lol. So predictable I think more people coming be the southern border are fluent in English than vs the 13% of Ukrainians who speak somewhat passable English. Which mean means the vast majority would be completely unemployable, yes just what we need, but hey at least they aren’t brown. Not to mention their strong cultural ties and traditions that have nada to do with an American way of life, being from an entirely separate continent, vastly different chitin and no ability to communicate, yeah that’s a great idea! Yet somehow we should be jumping up and down, to welcome people who more than likely have no desire to come to this country where they will have to Live as refugees and paupers. We don’t even have universal healthcare. If I’m a Ukrainian and I have to leave my homeland I’m going to anyplace in Golden ticket Northern Europe where at least I can enjoy a decent standard of living, free housing, decent education and relatively free healthcare.

You think more people coming to the Southern border are fluent in English??? I guess we can cancel those ESOL programs then $$$$.....

(And I have a bridge to sell you!)

Let’s compare Ukrainian-American outcomes 2/3 generations on vs Latino Americans.

Ukraine will definitely improve our chess, classical music, and programming talent pool.

Ukrainian refugees need to be a priority.

This is disgusting racism.

"Energy" related dealings exempt from sanctions.

Why can’t they join? Can someone explain this to me? These were not former USSR states. I don’t understand

Finland and Sweden joining could effectively cut Russia off from the Baltic Sea.

NATO would be happy to have them. Up until this point, Finland and Sweden (as well as Austria, Ireland, Moldova, etc) have chosen NOT to be in NATO.
This is why many are saying that Putin miscalculated, if one of his goals was to weaken NATO.

The Finnish President has known Putin for a long time, and he sees a change in him.
