Ukraine

[barney4444]

Am I missing something, overnight Russia fired hundreds of missiles into Ukraine but as Trump has said he intends ending the war very quickly, why doesn't Putin just sort of sit on his hands for about 5 weeks and then get pretty much what he wants.

[davebro3]

Maybe he doesn't think Trump can or will deliver a result Putin will be happy with.

[tomus42]

I think he has to be seen to do something in retaliation to the use of long range missiles by Ukraine.

3. Putin enjoys killing

This is a response to sleepy Joe letting Ukraine use the american missiles. He probably will calm down a bit now though and wait for Trump to get his plates under the Cain.

[barney4444]

Trump has said that the billions of dollars in support for Ukraine will stop, Zelensky says that without their missiles and help Ukraine will lose the war, so whatever you think the rights and wrongs of it is, as far as Putin is concerned its job's done, or am I missing something!  

[nicebloke1]

Like I said, Trump is insane.

[barney4444]

Billionaire, in charge of the most powerful country in the world, not a bad achievement for a alleged madman.

//Trump is insane.//

He's not. His mother had him tested!🤣

[nicebloke1]

So is Putin, its the billionaire status that sends them insane and buys them power, and control.

[Khandro]

Putin should have been strangled at birth.

[barney4444]

Well Trump won 2 democratic elections, so millions and millions of Americans disagree with your assessment of his mental capacity.  

[nicebloke1]

Fine, I've given you my view, nothing more I can offer to your OP.

[youngmafbog]

Well leave then.

I suspect as above that its so he can be seen to be responding to Bidens last throes.

[hessian]

In any talks with Trump Putin will be adamant that a minimum Russia requires of the Ukraine is the Crimea which is the only warm-water port that Russia has in the winter when St Petersburg and Vladivostok are frozen solid.

[Old_Geezer]

Probably because it's clearly not all they want. So they push the "front line" forward. Gives more leverage.

[barney4444]

Well looks like the perhaps the nightmare the innocent people in Lebanon have been living through may be ending, let's hope and pray for a end to the gaza nightmare soon, and may be even the Ukraine in the new year.

barney ^^ we'll all drink to that, but just remember who started it.

[barney4444]

Trouble is the people who 'started it' are never the elderly and children getting killed, losing arms and legs, having no homes left, living on the streets with all their possessions in couple of bin bags. They not really interested in playing the blame game, just how they going to find food and shelter this winter.

[Khandro]

t'was ever so.
