Zelenskyy. "Imagine dressing down your psychotic neighbor who keeps sending his dogs to scare .."

The way this man talks at Putin is something else. The nuances are untranslatable. Imagine dressing down your psychotic neighbor who keeps sending his dogs to scare your kids and crap on your lawn. That's the tone here.

@maxseddon
Zelensky to Putin: "Good Lord, what do you want? Leave our land. If you don't want to leave now, sit down with me at the negotiating table. But not from 30 meters away, like with Macron and Scholz. Sit down with me and talk. What are you afraid of? We're no threat to anyone."

He wants all of Ukraine under his control. Period.

I truly admire Zelenskyy's courage and intellect.

But he also knows how it looks on TV, and this is a line that is very hard for Putin to counter without showing all his cards.

Which is why Putin is trying so hard to limit media in Russia. Which isn't really working.

Reminds me of this line from Star Wars.

It makes sense for him to allow mothers and children to leave, most never to return. They can regard the remaining population as combatants and slaughter them en masse, while leveling the cities.

Then when they finish they can move in Russians, and no more Ukraine.

He’a wrong, but how many people have to die until the world shoves his delusions down his throat? I’m sure Zelensky has enraged him, and he will be out to raze Ukraine completely as retaliation.

NATO having given every other armament now won’t give the jets to finish off the Russkie supply lines. The boneheads making this fearless decision have never heard of lend-lease, used in WWII to arm opponents of Hitler’s oppression in Europe.
