Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that the United States was wading deeper into the Ukraine conflict and making a mistake by providing Kyiv with long-range ATACMS missiles.

He told a news conference during a visit to China that he had briefed President Xi Jinping “in some detail” about Ukraine. He said “external factors” and “common threats” served only to strengthen Russia-Chinese cooperation.

      What, didn’t you hear those sounds he made? We have no historical reasons not to trust them as absolute fact.

        Doesn’t he have blood cancer or some shit? If so, all he had to do was “retire” to his multiple mansions, and billions in the bank, and be toted as a hero of Russia when he dies. Now, regardless of what he chooses to do, he’s fucked. If he doesn’t find a way to save face, something will eventually remove him from power; his people or his body.

    Oh no, best start making mandarin mandatory in Moscow and Ukrainian in crimea, because if you think you’re gonna stay a major power you’ve got something else coming. No amount of belt and road can keep Russia afloat with Putin leading it

    What’s the tally so far from Putin on how many mistakes America has made so far?

      I’m also intrigued by the allegedly change of language:

      “War is war," Putin said

      It may be a translation error though.

    If Путин wants people to listen to him, he shouldn’t lie so often. I hard-ignore all articles beginning with the words “Путин says”.
