I thought macron was floating the idea of committing French troops in Ukraine a while ago, what happened to that stance? All bark and no bite or does he just love the olympics more than Ukraine?
In his defense, the Olympics are supposed to be a time where mature people set aside geopolitical tensions and just have fun competing for a few weeks. But this is Putin we’re talking about
I thought the Olympics was a time when we see if the country that paid the biggest bribe to the IoC can put on a show?
Good. The time to stop is when Russia leaves Ukraine.
How many Ukrainians are going to die before that happens?
A lot, but Putin doesn’t care
Less than how many would die by the rampaging horde if Ukraine gave up. Judging by what happend in Bucha, Irpin, Mariupol or elsewhere.
That was during the war.
Playing rocket tag with the Russians for another three years will create more Mariupols.
Moskals can’t afford to wage the war for three more years.
We get the “Russia will go bankrupt any minute now” line from the NAFO heads every six months.
It’s the same bullshit we got fed during Iraq and Afghanistan and Vietnam and Korea.
Yes, but there USA were fighting the locals. Here it’s moskals who is fighting the locals.
And funny you bring up Afghanistan, USSR went down also because of invading it.
Here it’s moskals who is fighting the locals.
One reason Russia took over Crimea so easily was due to the high Russian-national identifying residents. Same with South Ossetia and Abkhazia. East Ukraine had an enormous Russia-aligned population, which drove the split that provoked the 2014 civil war and ended in the invasion.
And funny you bring up Afghanistan, USSR went down also because of invading it.
The USSR went down to perestroika. Gorbachev’s reform and opening of markets invited record rates of corruption and graft, leading to the oligarchs that installed Yeltsin and Putin a decade later. The Russian military was just about the only institution that survived the hollowing out of the national economy and the dissolution of the old republican system of governance.

More doing Hatfields and McCoys shit for another three years, because you can’t decide on the property line.
You understand that this isn’t a feud perpetuated by both sides. This is one side desperately trying to fend off an unprovoked invader.
I did not phrase that as a question, because I know you know this.
But just in case, I’ll say something I’m pretty sure you understand as well.

You understand that this isn’t a feud perpetuated by both sides.
There’s been a civil war tearing apart the Donbas since 2014.
I’ll spot you this, the comparison to the USSR in Afghanistan isn’t that far off. America is trying to do a second Operation Cyclone by standing up a hollowed out government and fundamentalist militia with enormous volumes of foreign military aid. The only difference is that its not 1979 anymore and we’re not simply unloading all our Vietnam era surplus onto some useful suckers.
Even in what is supposed to be an asymmetrical guerrilla war, westerners have somehow managed to make Ukraine more expensive for the western intelligence services than eastern traditional military.

Fucking good. What a hero. We need Zelenskyy to help run the U.S. when he is done kicking Puta’s ass.
Uh wut?
I said FUCKING GOOD. WHAT A HERO. WE NEED ZELENSKYY TO HELP RUN THE U.S. WHEN HE IS DONE KICKING PUTA’S ASS.
BECAUSE WE HAVE A CONSERVATIVE FASCISM PROBLEM HERE AND HE IS GOOD AT KICKING CONSERVATIVE FASCISTS’ ASSES.
WHY ARE WE YELLING?
Remember that reddit bot that would repeat the parent comment in all caps when someone said “what?” or a variety thereof? Good times.
Yes! My favorite bot!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy rejected a call by French President Emmanuel Macron for a truce in the Ukraine-Russia war during the Summer Olympic Games in Paris.
Russia would use any suspension of hostilities to press its military advantage, Zelenskyy said in an interview Friday with Agence France-Presse.
“Let’s be honest … Emmanuel, I don’t believe it,” Zelenskyy told AFP.
On Friday, Russian President Vladimir Putin told state media that he had discussed the idea of an Olympic truce with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping.
Asked if he would support the idea, Putin reportedly responded with a criticism of Western sports authorities.
In his AFP interview, Zelenskyy vowed to keep fighting Russia’s army.
The original article contains 155 words, the summary contains 112 words. Saved 28%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Should ask to the dictator that’s attacking…
good lord my president is dumb as fuck
I hope you’re French and not Ukrainian?
ye ye
At one point wasn’t Macron going on about practically starting World War III? He was definitely all for it a couple of months back.
Not that I’m complaining or anything.
