Russia’s President Vladimir Putin has said there will be no more wars after Ukraine if Russia is treated with respect - and claims that Moscow is planning to attack European countries are “nonsense”.
Just special military operations, obviously. Not wars. Wars are a bad thing.
And by “respect,” he mans capitulation and servility.
I’m surprised he didn’t demand thanks for the restraint Russia has exercised by not having defeated Ukraine yet.
On 5 December 1994, at a ceremony in Budapest, Ukraine joined Belarus and Kazakhstan in giving up their nuclear arsenals in return for security guarantees from the United States, the UK, France, China and Russia.
This aged like fine milk.
Just like he promised after stealing the Crimea in 2014?
We did and you started wars. First end those wars and start acting more respectable.
Bully tactics. Why are mental children in power everywhere currently?
In 2004 Putin said: We have settled all our border issues. What this amounts to is full and absolute recognition of and respect for Ukraine’s sovereignty, not only as concerns its land borders, but also its sea borders. Source: http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/transcripts/22661
Lol
“I will not attack any countries after
AustriaGeorgia andPolandUkraine.” I think I’ve heard this song before.Yeah right. And meanwhile he’ll still be running the bot farms, relentless disinformation campaigns and killing people he doesn’t like on foreign soil.
Respect is earned.
And ‘hybrid warfare’ anchor dragging across international telecom cables, etc, etc.
What a hilariously worthless statement given how many of his promises Putin has ever kept: Zero.
But, Maldova, Poland, Estonia, <…and more> are really already part of Russia if you think about it. And Russia needs to protect it’s borders, so if you have a border, abutting Russia, you’re really already part of Russia. Mirroring the circular logic justification for Israeli settlements.
Also, Russia technically isn’t at war right now either.
No more wars? But Ukraine isn’t even a war. It’s a special military operation. He needs to promise no more of those.
“I swear, this is our last imperialist incursion into another sovereignty if you respect us by giving us the land we encroached upon and other economic rewards for having done it. Pinky swear!”
