Rules:

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.

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.

Our operation Spider's Web… even though they [the Russians – ed.] are furious, they understand everything – that if there are cases like the one involving 20,000 rockets [that the US had planned to send to Ukraine but redirected to the Middle East – ed.], then we'll rely on our own strength… We don't want the war to continue, but we'll fight for ourselves if that is the only way out.

We're very close. We need strong support from the United States. The US needs unity with Europe and still needs to put pressure on Putin. He doesn't want to end the war, but he can end the war under pressure from partners. In my opinion, that gives us a chance. And this doesn't sound pessimistic at all – I'm talking about reality."

If US support is the only thing that can cause Ukraine to win, then it's pretty certain with our current leadership that it won't happen.

Keep up the good work. Russia must fail.

For Putin, it's a matter of political survival.

I'm going to go with 'survival' survival for Putin.

Those two are the same for him at this point

The Russian wartime economy would, and will, utterly collapse.

That is when the role of the US really comes in. Putin eyes the nuclear button and Americans have to go "sit down, you're not doing anything". But Trump will go "let's talk".
