That's what I said. Fuck Putin. It should be Ukraine's call. But if he keeps Crimea he WILL come for more. That will guarantee thousands more lives lost. Or millions...
A few things I think are certain with putin. 1. He wont give up Crimea or any part he has gained. 2. He will continue his war on attrition to try and take all of Ukraine 3. He will no doubt Nuke Kyiv if he thinks it's necessary. The only way he's eliminated is, if his people are starving and he's taken out either from one of his generals or one of the oligarchs. Hardcore sanctions are needed. Or, troops are sent in as a peace keeping force by calling his bluff.
If he's going to keep trying to take Ukraine anyway then there is no reason to give up Crimea. I don't believe he'll nuke Kyiv. Closest he'll come to it will be hitting a nuclear power plant, IMO. If he were to use nuclear weapons the world would demand his removal. That's the end for him. *Edit* Even blatantly hitting a nuclear power plant may be enough...
putin is playing chicken with the US & NATO He continues to bomb Kyiv and towns on NATO country borders. This will go on and on till Moscow is hit hard....

PUTIN POUNDS KYIV EU, BRIT OFFICES DAMAGED SECOND BIGGEST BOMBING OF WAR RUSSIA THREATENS MARCH TO PARIS
Russia threatens to 'march on Paris' as all-out WW3 fears erupt The full-blooded attack appeared to be in response to some unflattering comments recently made by the Élysée Palace resident about Vladimir Putin. By John Varga, World News Reporter 10:28, Tue, Aug 26, 2025 Updated: 10:46, Tue, Aug 26, 2025 Putin was left unamused by Macron's comments. (Image: Getty) Russia has issued a terrifying warning to France as tensions between the two countries threaten to explode. The French President is the latest Western leader to be singled out for rough treatment by Kremlin propagandists and to become "public enemy number one". The full blooded attack appeared to be in response to some unflattering comments made recently by the Élysée Palace resident about Vladimir Putin. During an interview with the French TV news network LCI, Emmanuel Macron called Putin "a predator and an ogre at our doorstep." The remarks seemingly went down like a lead balloon with the sensitive Kremlin tyrant, who unleashed his propaganda hounds on the unfortunate Macron. Vladimir Solovyov has relished his role as the Putin regime's top attack dog, frequently laying into Donald Trump, NATO, and Western leaders in general with an undying zeal. Appearing on his TV show, he took aim at Macron and didn't hold back as he launched into yet another vicious rant. Once again referencing deep Russian grievances about Nato expansion, the Kremlin stooge said: "Originally, back in December 2021, we stated that NATO moving closer to our borders was unacceptable. "I remember the video where Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, after a hockey match, is talking to Pavel Zarubin (journalist) and says: 'Look, we understand what they're doing. They're building Nato infrastructure at our borders.' "What if missiles are launched from Kharkiv?, asked the TV hack. "And now they're saying: 'We'll be at your borders, we'll send Nato troops there. That's why we'll be on Champs-Elysées. And Macron will be polishing the boots of a Russian officer." NATO leaders have been discussing security guarantees for a postwar Ukraine, following Trump's Alaska summit with Putin. https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/2100085/russia-france-paris-macron-vladimir-putin
