NATO strikes St Petersburg then Zelensky grandly announces he's ready for direct talks with Putin.
Putin won't even bend over to scrape Zelensky off his shoe, let alone legitimize the coke goblin by negotiating with him.
This is crazy talk.
Why? Putin will accuse Europe of “colonial thinking” on one hand, then push extremely hard for multipolar world—which is literally colonial powers or regions fighting for power and prominence—on the other.
He’s just a power hungry madman at this point.
If Europe willing to work with us, they should cast away their COLONIAL thinking — Putin
'They should talk to Russia as an equal partner'

Bro @RT_com, Rick Sanchez, and all the little English speaking, Russian paid “joirnalists” literally are the Russian propagandists @RealCandaceO fails to see.
And no, America does not come first when you seek fame on big stages in Russia.
"I want nationalism. I want America to actually come first." — Candace Owens
She calls out attempts to blame shifting American sentiment on "Russian propaganda," mocking the idea that Americans are being influenced by Russian media.
"As if Americans can read Cyrillic, speak Russian."
Full interview on Sanchez Effect.
The US media rightfully limits Putin because US media learned that hard lesson in 1930’s after amplifying Hitler’s speeches leading up to war.
The difference is Putin is already at war.
Candace Owens knew US media would never allow Americans to hear Putin speak at length after hearing him herself
'They have to to create a caricature of everyone'
'He's supposed to be unintelligent, angry, and wanting to take over the West'
Full interview: @RickSanchezTV
@RepLuna has not read @ZelenskyyUa’s letter today, and it shows.
He proposed, yet again, a strong ceasefire, meeting in neutral country, and bring an end to the war.
Kremlin is resisting peace by demanding Pres Zelensky only meet in Moscow and absolutely no ceasefire.
Rep. Luna: NO MORE aid for Ukraine
'There is a peace plan. The Russians, to my knowledge, have AGREED'
'It’s Zelensky that’s holding out — he’s concerned it’ll impact his potential upcoming election'
@Eagleensnajkka@RT_com I read it more as a ceasefire is needed for meetings and negotiations to work.
Freezing the current lines for this process, as opposed to Russian demands that Ukrainians simply leave territory Russians do not hold or have never stepped foot on.
Russia has repeatedly called and labeled President Zelensky a “terrorist” and a 2022 invasion goal was to remove him from presidency.
If he travels to Russia Putin can simply have him arrested and tried as a “terrorist,” correct?
Does anyone think he would fall for this?
Zelensky’s exhaustingly long open letter to Putin: we read it so you don’t have to
The gist: he proposes a meeting with Russian leader
And while Russia’s repeatedly stated that he’s welcome to come to Moscow, Zelensky rules that out immediately

@ChickeniedRice One of Putin’s own states goals was demilitarize Ukraine. How do you do that without taking all and leaving militarized pockets to give you many future headaches?
Did this guy not ever see Putin literally try to blitzkrieg Kyiv from Belarus and reach the city with tanks and armor from both sides of the river?
That is western Ukraine, sir.
Prof. John Mearsheimer :
I think Putin has no interest in taking all of Ukraine.
Putin invading Western Ukraine would be like trying to swallow a porcupine.
It would be remarkably foolish.
The Russians have had a devil of a time conquering the eastern 20% of Ukraine. This is not the Wehrmacht.
They can't even conquer all of Ukraine.
@ChickeniedRice Removing government and installing your own puppets is pretty much taking over.
The 30k was simply a spearhead force tasked with capturing a key airport and land routes to funnel in many more trips and supplies. Such invasions aren’t overnight successes.
@ptem0@AMK_Mapping_ 1. There are no signs in the video a Patriot was launched or hit the Shahed before the shahed’s typical nosedive maneuver to its target.
2. If a Patriot did hit it that ruins the IRGC claim that a Patriot malfunctioned because that would have been a successful engagement 🤷♂️
Ben Shapiro says Russia is bringing in influencers like Candace Owens to make Americans believe the West is terrible while Russia is great and spiritual… meanwhile, he adds, the entire Russian church is basically just a branch of the government.
🚨That'll happen ...
🚨"Putin Need to Seize Odessa and Cross the Dnieper River Now" Col. Douglas Macgregor
🚨These are absolutely vital things that must happen.
And I don't think that the Russians should be all that concerned about what the Europeans say or do.
I mean, these people are, to be polite, full of hot air.
So Iran claimed a Patriot interceptor malfunctioned and hit the terminal at Kuwait International Airport.
Funny development that Patriot missiles now ship with Shahed drone engines…
In the aftermath of the Iranian strikes on Kuwait Airport, a Kuwaiti military @KuwaitArmyGHQ officer was seen carrying the debris of what is most likely a Mado MD550 engine. The MD550 is a 50-horsepower, four-cylinder, two-stroke gasoline piston engine manufactured in Iran by Mado. It is a reverse-engineered copy of the German Limbach L550E aircraft engine and is widely known as the primary powerplant used in the Iranian-designed Shahed-136 attack drone.
When Russia or Iran officially say “we struck only military targets/bases and they were fully successful” this is what they mean:
KWI civilian passenger terminal is *not* a military target.
@LSHINov I did. Average Russians in St Petersburg or other deep in Russia cities don’t worry
Inside Russia’s “SMO,” however, where military movements, logistics, command, and staging happen in cities amongst the civilian population things get hairy
But the Russians aren’t clean either
Bonkers video from earlier today in St. Petersburg, where Russian police try to shoot down a Ukrainian drone, while bystanders casually video the effort (and the burning oil terminal in the background).
