Shoigu added that Russia could achieve its military goals with "consistent implementation of the measures in the action until 2025."

Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin and allies like Shoigu have repeatedly stressed the need to keep Ukraine inside Russia's sphere of influence, and to defeat what they describe as Ukraine's "Nazi regime".

This logic of "please do not give Ukraine weapons, so that Russia can quickly capture it and thus there will be peace on earth" always seems to me as insane. How people seriously can suggest this is beyond my understanding. The only plausible explanation I can find is trolling.

It's some award-winning Neville Chamberlain style strategy.

Look at their instance. Almost all the anti-ukrainian trolls are coming from the same instance.

Lemmygraders are tankies who have never read a history book.

Hexbear are tankies who have read many, but reject their content as CIA propaganda.
