It's the unconscious comfort of thinking that it couldn't possibility happen. — Manuel
NATO awarded him already.So when do we think Biden will award Putin the presidential medal of freedom for allowing the US empire to keep its head above water for a few more years? Two months? Three? — StreetlightX
All thanks to the genius of Vladimir Putin. — ssu

It's just a form of escapism from the resident FSB influencer here, i.e. boethius. Nothing more. — Olivier5
From the current situation, where Russians forces have no easy way out, and are set to get pummeled for weeks on end. You are dreaming of a possible way out of this mess, and towards victory for Moscow. It will not happen, it's only a wet dream of yours. — Olivier5

If this is true, then nuclear weapons are the next step. Why would Russia just call it quits?
