So what is the storyline of this? Does Putin just want to be put into the Stalin category? What is the endgame? Who puts him in his place? It doesn't make any sense to me

Goes without saying we know but “war” is so weird.

Ukraine and Russia have agreed to a temporary cease fire so civilians can “regroup”.

It’s like calling a timeout on the battle field before they start blowing shit up again. I mean glad they are doing it but what??

It's so they can get the civilians out of the area and to be able to bring in supplies (medical, food, water, etc..)

I thought this video did an ok job in laying out some strategic reasons for Russia wanting to control Ukraine. Or he could just be crazy. 🤷‍♂️

Pretty much.

I followed a bunch of ISIS guys on Twitter when I was over to get Intel from them. Worked great

I’m genuinely confused as to why the Russians are shelling the nuclear plant. If you want to conquer and take over a country shouldn’t you try to protect its most valuable assets?

Beat into submission to be subordinate is different that getting a prize beautiful possession. They don't give a shit about Ukraine's successes.

That video was powerful that Zelenskyy showed congress

I've watched all his talks with the world powers and by far this is the best one, and it's not even close
