Putin has a vision: to take back every inch of land the former USSR abdicated when it lost the Cold War. Trump's slogan is 'Make America Great Again' (MAGA). Putin's is Make Russia Great Again, with visions of grandeur, a new age of Russian dominance with himself as the rebirth of Peter The Great. He will float this lie of a truce and end to the war, but simply rearm and force what's left of the civilian population into the military. This tunnel visioned bastard cannot be bargained with, and lost all credibility when he said that he would NOT invade Ukraine.

If you really think Russia wants a ceasefire in Sep 2024 after Kursk invasion you are using unreliable sources. No need to subscribe to anything to see, all we need is a webbrowser with built in AI like Brave to get NEUTRAL and OBJECTIVE review of all search results. Search terms/prompt: In Sep 2024 does Russia want a ceasefire?" Answer: Based on the provided search results, there is no direct quote or statement from Putin indicating a desire for a ceasefire after Ukraine's invasion into Kursk. However, there are some relevant quotes and assessments that provide insight: 1. Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, was quoted as saying that if Ukraine uses Western-supplied weaponry to strike Russian territory, it would deepen Western involvement in the conflict and trigger a reaction from Moscow (September 12, 2024). 2. Putin himself stated that the Ukrainian offensive in Kursk had failed to slow Russia's advance and had only weakened Ukraine's defenses in Donetsk (September 6, 2024). 3. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky claimed that Russia had lost 6,000 troops during Kyiv's invasion of Kursk, and urged Western allies to provide more long-range missiles and ignore Moscow's red lines (September 6, 2024). 4. The Institute for the Study of War assessed that the wider impacts of the Kursk offensive on the war and any envisioned diplomatic solution were not yet clear (September 6, 2024). Considering these quotes and assessments, it appears that Putin does not seem to be interested in a ceasefire at this point, as he views the Ukrainian invasion into Kursk as a failure and an attempt to weaken Russia's defenses. Instead, he may be focused on responding to the perceived threat and continuing the conflict. It's essential to note that Putin's statements and actions are often designed to influence international opinion and shape the narrative of the conflict. Therefore, his public statements may not always accurately reflect his true intentions or goals. Oversimplifying things Joe is a great way to push agendas .... ... why you never mention Russian nuclear doctrine or discuss what MAD situation brings to global economies? We have never been so close to such a situation and condoning what the west are doing in Ukraine and now in Russia through proxy war is beyond absolute ignorance. Condoning sanctions is also condoning what America did to Japan in 1945, all because of sanctions put in place by America against Japan caused the Pearl Harbour attack after the Japanese caught them napping. Modern day sanctions are the equivalent of ancient siege, they are declaration of and an act of war.

He's only going to relinquish Crimea by force of arms, if the west lets Ukraine get on with it, and as for the rest, of course he'll get off scot-free. Pay reparations? You must be joking!

Never, EVER take Russia’s self serving pronouncements as honest and acceptable. They are masters of double speak and think they have the right to set the rules. Ukraine knows their games and will not allow themselves to dance to Russia’s tune.

Need to look at GDP and national savings at the same time. If you splurge your savings on living well, it looks like you are doing really well until you run out of savings. Then it becomes an abrupt crash.

*@JoeBlogs* 🌎 Putin truly put Russia in a real bad spot… which is his own doing, clearly. To be completely honest here, Putin more than deserves the “hate”, backlash, and everything else that comes with his doings.

Russia...full of CRAP full stop......

[@pauloanastacio-tb6pj]

oil prices around 70$ atm and forcasts of beeing at 60$ around the end of the year thats why Russia is starting to panic...

[@lance2465]

They don’t care about the price of oil unless it really drops to below 40 dollars a barrel. They will fight till they take a majority of Ukraine. That might take till 2090 and millions and millions of men and women dead and wounded and tons of war material destroyed. Thus causing Russia becoming a puppet state of China.

[@rob6052]

There is absolutely zero room for Russia to remain on internationally recognized Ukrainian lands. Nor should there any tolerance whatsoever for Russia influencing Ukraine's membership and participating in NATO or the EU.

02:00 They don't mean to *end* the war with a ceasefire if the USA withdraw support for Ukraine. They mean that they will steamroller over Ukraine so it no longer exists, therefore there can be no war as it'll all be Russia.

[@geoffreystone4849]

Even if the war was to end Russia would be considered an enemy by the west. Sanctions would not be removed. The Russian economy would be in freefall. Add to that the war reparations to rebuild Ukraine would be a drain on that economy.

A cease fire will just be a literal capitulation

Great report Joe!

[@mrnobody3161]

Joe. The area controlled by Ukraine in the Kursk Region in ruZZia is NOT calculated in sq miles. The Ukrainian Operational Security means that communication about what is occurring is about 3 to 5 days after the events have occurred. The last information about Square Kilometers under control of Ukraine was approximately 1,400 sq klm in the Kursk Region. It could be less or more right now. Cheers.
