Looks like Russian terrorists are getting a taste of their own medicine. I hope it spreads like wild fires to all of Russia.

That's yet another attack of Islamic radicals in Caucasus.

It has been already squashed.


I wouldn't be cheering this kind of things, if I were you.

I don’t think you understand how it works.

That being the case, hasn't Russia already lost?

• They have gained no markets for oil and natural gas, and lost many markets.
• Most civilian industries in Russia have ceased operation.
• The Russia military has been exposed as being much weaker than advertised
• Russian weapons systems - formally a source of income - are no longer in demand
• Russia is able to trade with only a few countries

And no one at all sees any of this changing after the war. Whenever that might be.

All of Putin's calls for a ceasefire also made it conditional upon Russia keeping all of their gains and Ukraine withdrawing their troops from the contested areas.
That is not a ceasefire, that's a demand for surrender.

"Russian President Vladimir Putin promised Friday to “immediately” order a cease-fire in Ukraine and start negotiations if Kyiv began withdrawing troops from the four regions annexed by Moscow in 2022 and renounced plans to join NATO. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy rejected what he called an ultimatum by Putin to surrender more territory."

and

"Broader demands for peace that Putin listed included Ukraine’s recognition of Crimea as part of Russia, keeping the country’s nonnuclear status, restricting its military force and protecting the interests of the Russian-speaking population. All of these should be part of “fundamental international agreements,” and all Western sanctions against Russia should be lifted, Putin said."

We can either supply weapons to Ukraine to fight the Russians in Ukraine, or supply men and weapons to fight Russia somewhere else (Estonia being the most likely, but not certain, next step.)

Oddly, that turned out to be the right philosophy, despite Leftist propaganda to the contrary.

Truth.
That and he should begin talks of reparations for his aggressions.
