I was wondering how removing sanctions as a bargaining tool would go. That is once Putin pulls out and makes reparations to Ukraine.

This war has been good for Joe and the cause of liberal democracy and bad for Vlad and Donald, both are just digging a deeper hole at this point. Both also have/had many subordinates who appear to leak, the Kremlin has been a bit like the Trump WH and Vlad has been acting as stupid as Donald!
He might have been a spymaster, but he is no fucking strategist, soon his empire will be full of spy's, revolutionaries, coup plotters and a majority of the people will hate his guts and think he's an idiot who ruined their lives' and screwed the country. His weakness at home and abroad has been exposed the word will get around, as the stores empty and the pensions become worthless.
Me too, not that I don’t believe the op. It’s plausible but so is good intelligence work.
He won't have a choice about reparations, starting with the most guilty first, we already have their cash and after what they did in Ukraine, they won't get any back until the ALL the costs of the war are covered, including the aid Uncle Sam and the EU gave to the Ukrainians to defend themselves. Every one who lost a home, was made a refugee, was wounded or had relatives who died in Ukraine should be generously compensated from that Russian money too, along with those who helped them, even down to sharing their home with refugees in Europe.
Gas is just $1.67 in Canada!
The Kremlin has been leaking like a sieve, just like the Trump WH did when the staff there thought he was fucking nuts! Vlad has been acting as stupid as Donald FFS and is operating on a similar level of synthesized reality.
40 year old gear and 20 year old rations tell the story.
Zelensky needs to end his 'close the skies and we have no bullets tour'.
The intelligence services do not issue daily news briefs afaik.
This where that took place, north east of Kyiv on an important highway junction, the north is much more muddy than the south, which tends to be drier. This is also close to the Belarus Border and close to Russian supply lines, once the forces west of Kyiv are defeated and contained, this will probably be next on the Ukrainian hit list. When the Russians are confined to the main roads, blowing up bridges over small rivers and streams, that you don't see in this map view, but far to the Russian rear, can be very helpful for cutting off supplies to the Russians. Then they counter attack them to use up what ammo they have, always trying to cut them off from resupply and forcing mass surrenders with most of the commanders targeted and killed when they can locate them.
The only 20- year-old rations I want are grands crus from the Côte de Nuits.
They ain't doing so well now and in a couple of months the place will be on fire then things dig in and their might be food shortages and poor people and pensioners can't afford to eat. There will be mass unemployment that will make the great depression look like picnic. War is expensive and this one is sucking up lot's of cash and bleeding Vlad white of cash and military power that can't be replaced for a long time.
