The costs of Russia’s war are about to hit home
Vladimir Putin will be unable to protect citizens from the pain

Where did I say that? Top dishonesty and clowning from YOUR side as per usual. I said the war would be over soon when the war had just started
Secondly, I have now said dozens of times that the West is keeping Ukraine in the fight which is why they didn't collapse. Zelensky just made another tour begging for aid, lol. Did you miss the Canadian shit show?
You look completely desperate repeating this shit ad nauseam SMH


Europe especially due its inertia, is able to secure alot of assistance to Ukraine. In value EU already secured 2x times US military assistance value.
Ofc the real plan is not to wait until as much as 2032... I Guess the Western countries hope to weaken Russia as much as possible until Putin get out, and this without a major collapse, or "humiliation..."

As you know "humiliation" is baaad, really baaaaad.

Laughing is a common psychological defence mechanism when you refuse to admit an uncomfortable truth

No rebuttal

Nah, UK doesn't really want to train on site finally; but it changes nothing anyway....

ALOT of the ruscists leaders have all their sons, daughters, families, and even "safe places" and assets (thought their famillies) in western countries.
The nuclear threats and related "escalations" are not to be taken that seriously. The day they call all their families back to home, well... We will know it.
A "too violent" collapse of Russia, however, is a real risk.

Why is Elon Musk doing this?

His quote-retweets are full of people literally melting down. Is it just for the memes?

He's an attention-seeking narcissist. For marketing purposes, he also needs to cultivate and maintain his image as an eccentric vanguard who's ahead of the contemporary mainstream.

He got F U money is why. Populist wishes they could do the same right now. The war support is not there among the population even though Democrats been beating war drum hard. Gonna see more F U moments. He was at border right? Seen some feeling the F U heat there as well

To my mind, Elon Musks view is : He will state his opinion, even if it comes at a cost to himself or his company. People dont like him because he states his opinion.
I did not agree with his tweets related to the diver [ pedo tweet ] and it was shameful that he did not simply say sorry for that. He supported Ukraine when no one else could and now he is questioning the war. I dont see a problem with people questioning the war noting there are alot of bad things happening (such as: people are not allowed to have an opinion other then "Russia Bad").
