This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

A little surprised they seem to think it really is about corruption and not threats to Putin.

Europe still unsure over US plan on Russian assets to pay for Ukraine​

As G7 finance ministers met, governments fear they will be on the hook for Washington’s proposal to hand Ukraine a huge loan.

STRESA, Italy ― European countries will only reluctantly agree to a U.S. push to use the profits of frozen Russian assets to issue a large loan to Ukraine.

With finance ministers of the G7 group of advanced economies meeting in Italy on Saturday, the EU’s most powerful capitals demanded guarantees from the U.S. that Europe won’t end up bearing the costs of what they see as Washington’s pet project.

For months, the U.S. has been pushing its European allies to look into alternative ways to raise cash for Kyiv amid fears that existing funds to the war-torn country will run out as early as next year.

Can you have WW3 if nobody wants to pay for it?
 
"Shadow unit.Destruction of an enemy tank by dropping an M67 grenade from a helicopter, leading to the explosion of a BC"

Every time I see one of these videos showing the destruction of a disabled tank I wonder if it just broke down, or ran out of fuel and the crew abandoned it, or if it had been disabled in action. I imagine a shocking number of them were broken down or out of fuel. Crap equipment, crap logistics, and poorly trained crews are a terrible combination
 
Trump likes another Putin ball fluffer? I am shocked.
At some point someone from the United States government will have to get offf their ass to organize a meeting and talks between Russia and Ukraine or we keep doing this until the thermonuclear weapons come out.

Biden clearly isn’t capable so we are in desperate need of a course correction.

Russian President Vladimir Putinsays his country is prepared to accept a negotiated ceasefire in its invasion of Ukraine along current battle lines but will continue hostilities if Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and the country’s Western allies decline. In recent weeks, the Russian military has managed several critical breakthroughs along Ukrainian defenses and captured more territory than Ukraine took in its 2023 counter-offensive.

The Russian leader is rumored to be frustrated with U.S. and Britishefforts to dissuade Ukraine from accepting a negotiated settlement to the conflict and President Zelensky’s refusal to engage in talks. “Putin can fight for as long as it takes, but Putin is also ready for a ceasefire—to freeze the war,” an unnamed senior Russian official told Reuters.
