the talk is over...WHAT????

Good for Ukraine to attack, the stupidity to say "this could jeopardize the talks" is insane, Russia is the aggressor, what do people think, Ukrainians have to sit and wait while a liar like Putin decides to stop killing them? FU people. Ukraine knows Putin is a liar and the talks are most probably bullshit, because I assume the talks are intended to ask Ukraine to surrender.

Now take out those Russian Naval Ships in the Black Sea that have been lunching missiles @
Ukraine and those Russian missile sites in in Russia and Belarus that have been killing thousands
of Ukrainians who never did one thing to the Russians.

Russia can stop this madness today by putting a bullet in Putin's head.

BTW I would not be surprised if that helicopter attack was done by the Russians. That fuel depot
was a good distance from the border and where did the Ukrainians get those helicopter?

I didn't want to see a picture of their bodies.

Once you've seen violent death up close, it never leaves you.

This is WAR.

Easy way for Russia to avoid such actions - get the hell out of Ukraine.

1) It could create a false flag operation to blame the Ukrainians
2) Maybe bomb to stop Putin from continuing a war "they" don't like or want.

do this to themselves? Really? My uninformed guess is, no.

We can't expect Ukraine to 'take it on the chin' in this war just so the rest of the world is safe from RU nukes.

Ukraine is getting pulverized.

thousands of civilians. When Ukraine counter attacks a military target in Russia that is Biden's worst nightmare.

"That will prompt Russia to do something violent", so she doesn't believe that Russia has been doing anything violent? I have been saying for the past last few days that NATO needs to send missiles to Ukraine so they can attack Russian military targets in Russia and Belarus.
