    Generally speaking, whenever Russia makes a statement about any thing, we should view it as a reverse barometer of the truth.

    I would think the world community would want to be influencing Putins successor as someone that could keep Russia afloat, commit to rebuilding Ukraine and have control over the multitudes of Nukes spread through out the region.
    If Putin and Russia completely crumble that leaves the whole region up for grabs along with the nukes.

    In response to the arrest warrant, Maria Lvova-Belova, Russia’s children commissioner, says, "It's great that the international community has appreciated the work to help the children of our country, that we do not leave them in the war zones, that we take them out, that we create good conditions for them, that we surround them with loving, caring people."

    No wonder Trump loves Putin, and Russian state media loves Tucker, they all lie lie lie... It's their entire identity. Just fucking lie and never stop.

    Putin scrapped the SALT treaty which started a nuke fest in Iran and North Korea as well as Russia...Trump scrapped the Iranian deal to stop them from developing nukes and now they are making them with N Korea ....we are looking at a real evil empire in that region of the world that needs to be stopped yesterday. Those idiots are not afraid to go bat shit crazy and blow everything up

    Yes. But there is a real question if there is anyone in russia who is strong enough to take over and also sensible enough to change course so that russia could again join the family of civilized nations.

    In a slap to the face of Ukraine, Putin visits Mariupol, the beautiful city that he has destroyed. Hopefully he told them to rebuild quickly, as I believe Ukraine will retake the city within six months.
    Day 389. Russian forces targeted Ukraine with 16 Shahed-136 drones overnight on March 17-18. Ukraine conducts a missile strike almost 100 km deep in Russia’s defense, destroying a Russian base. Russian military sends reinforcement to Vuhledar in Donetsk Oblast.

    BTW, many believe this was probably one of Putin's doubles who visited; Putin does not allow people to get that close.

    Ukraine struck deep into Crimea today, using large kamikaze drones, claiming to hit missiles being transported by rail
    USA announced another shipment of ammo for artillery and tanks to Ukraine.
    russia is trying to encircle another city; this time Adviika. Ukraine still holding out there and at Bakhmut.
    New western tanks and armored vehicles arriving daily. Ukraine still planning an offensive late Spring or early summer.

    Ben Cohen of Ben and Jerry's ice cream has called for "both sides" to negotiate. How much of themselves does he think Ukraine should give away?

    Ukraine is under the gun. If they decide it is necessary to give something up to end the slaughter that's their right, although as President Zelensky said, no reason to trust Russia would abide by terms of any agreement.

    But no one else, leave alone a cushy American millionaire with pretense of being progressive, has any right to demand Ukraine give up a square inch.
