We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy proposed placing Ukraine’s territory under NATO’s protection to halt active warfare with Russia.

Speaking to Sky News, he suggested NATO could safeguard areas currently under Ukrainian control, allowing the rest of the territory to be reclaimed diplomatically.

Zelenskyy said that such a proposal has never been considered by Ukraine because it has never been officially offered.

The statement follows intensified Russian missile and drone strikes targeting Ukrainian energy infrastructure, leaving over 1 million people without power.

That's what I said half a year ago. NATO should get their shit together, say that Ukraine is becoming a NATO member, official ceremony is next week and Ukraine is considered a NATO territory from then on, and any Russian troops that are within it's borders then are considered invasion force on entire NATO.
Putin throws threats left and right all the time, everybody knows they hold no weight, but everybody is too afraid to find out. We should use the same tactics and check the cards. I know it's easier doing nothing and sending best wishes, but sooner or later Putin will finish there and start looking further west. And he will move the post little by little because no one wants the war and nobody wants to do anything untill it's them. This is not a hypothetical war anymore, it's already going, and people are already dying.

Putin always has the option of going nihilist.

That is dangerous, when nukes are in the held-hand.

IF Putin decides "Russia's finished, & I can't live, so LET'S TAKE-OUT AS MUCH OF THE WORLD AS WE CAN!!",

THEN .. there are consequences, you know?

He's GOT nukes.

He IS narcissist, machiavellian, psychopath, possibly nihilist, sadistic, & systemically-dishonest.

I want that possibly nihilistic kept off our lives.

Doing it in a gradual way might be better..

but still doing it..

( of course, Trump's a Putin ally, so Ukraina's fucked, come January,

as NATO is going to be, through the next 2 decades of Trump's dictatorship )
