When do you have time to eat with Putin's cock buried in your mouth all day and night?

I mean, every move that Trump and Putin are making is good for the U.S. and Russia.
European hubris and Russiaphobia is allowing this to happen.
Putin internal opposition is collapsing and eastern markets are opening up for Russia.
Meanwhile European markets are opening up for the U.S.
If we ignore rhetoric and just look at results you would think that Trump and Putin are working together.

Putin cannot just Shock and Awe Ukraine because they do not plan on leaving.
Their original military goal was to decapitate and collapse the Ukrainian government. They failed miserably. It was literally a shock and awe campaign designed for maximum chaos.

This war in Ukraine will be generational so we might as well get used to it. The conflict will more than likely ebb and flow for the rest of our lives.
I think Ukraine is scummy and I generally hate our NATO allies but to suggest that Russia intentionally slow played this conflict into a policing action is just false. They truly thought they could rapidly collapse the Ukrainian government and install their own officials to create a puppet state.
Their military operation failed spectacularly and unified Ukraine as a nation. The territory they once wanted to occupy and “own” as part of a puppet is now largely destroyed and there’s no real chance of ever fully occupying Ukraine and even if they did, rebuilding the country would tank the Russian economy. Ukraine has been effectively destroyed.
But, Russia has no exit strategy. They can’t end the war because Ukraine will immediately join NATO and the entire conflict will have been fruitless and it will cause an uprising back home.
They don’t have the manpower, weapons, or willpower to actually capture Ukraine, and any attempt to will lead to NATO pouring more men and assets into the country. The U.S. may have major fatigue in this conflict but neighboring countries like Poland will not let Ukraine fall.
In short, Putin seriously miscalculated. Moscow fricked up in planning, and did not account for an attritional war breaking out. They may have succeeded in destroying Ukraine and creating a buffer state in a “thawed” conflict, but that wastes more resources than if they would’ve attempted more soft power plays in the long run. They’ve put an albatross around their own neck.

What does that math look like?
How many Ukrainian and Russian fighters left?

Okay, if the ultimate goal for NATO countries is to oust Putin, balkanize Russia and bleed its resources dry, they appear a long way away from that goal.
What's going to be interesting is who replaces Putin because it won't be NATO forces ousting Putin, it's going to be Mother Nature.

You always post the depressing news. Almost like a troll playing MAGA.

Agree.
And for those that think Putin is bad, wait and see some of the revanchists that could come into power after him.

In what world do you think China will invade Russia?
They have fought before and have some serious territorial issues dating back to the Tzars and the USSR. Communist China and the USSR fought a border war in 1969.

Russia could drop like 6 of whatever their equivalent to the MOAB is and Ukraine would surrender the next day.
First, you clearly have no idea what a MOAB is and the damage they can do or more accurately, can't do. Russia's analog is another thermobaric bomb sometimes referred to as a FOAB as it has a higher yield than than the US GBU-43. The reality is it has a blast zone of roughly 8 football fields so 6 would have very little overall impact. Plus they have used thermobarics in the conflict.
The biggest issue with your simple approach is how do they put steel on target? They barely have air parity so how will they put these bombs on target? Simple, they can't.
Russia failed to take the initiative. Their initial show of force was beat back and they have continued to attrit their men and material without ever being able to gain more than a minimal advantage over Ukraine. They are fighting a near-conventional war and continually make poor command decisions. They aren't playing patty cake to preserve the infrastucture and people of Ukraine, that is a specious argument. They are turning every hard won square meter into a hellscape. They simply have no ability for shock and awe through conventional means.

At the outset, Russia sent three separate columns comprising over 1000 pieces of armor to take Kiev. The ground was too soft so they all went to the same paved road creating a massive month long traffic jam while under constant attack by Javelins and artillery.

China is loathe to land it lost to Russia and known now as Russian Manchuria. China understands just how rich Russia is with natural resources. Watching Russia degrade, as a matter of fact, helping Russia degrade is in the interest of China.
I stand by my statement that one day Russia will need protection from China.

Putin is a master strategist. Playing Chess while everyone else is playing Checkers. He has now cost Europe/NATO over $500 billion and decimated Germany’s industrial base. They are already trying to raise the retirement age and cutting back on benefits. They will vote out the WEF Globalist Puppets and that is the only way you will get real change in Europe. Destroying Ukraine was never the goal, Destroying Europe and breaking apart the EU was and he is close to accomplishing that. Look for France to be the first chess piece removed from the board and the others will quickly follow. This has truly been a masterclass performed by Putin

Incorrect. Russia and China have a "No Limit Partnership"
They both realized without each other they could not defeat the Neocon Globalist trying to create a "One World Order" by themselves
With Russia being a Natural Resource and Energy Juggernaut and China being the #1 Manufacturer in the World. They are a match made in heaven to take down the Neocon Globalists
