All other former empires have come to terms with their non-superpower / former global power status (Britain, France, Spain for example)
Russia has the population and GDP of Mexico. It's nuclear, arctic Mexico. With worse food.

Replace the word "peace" with "surrender" and you have the meaning behind his words

Is that better than semi-automatic in a one-way tunnel in Vegas?

Like his buddy Putin before him

"Doesn't remember" is creative
Bunker grandpa would come up with some (obvious) loophole in the treaty text

It's been pretty obvious from the outset and therefore all the more shocking how weak the international response has been.

"Trump Peace" downgraded to "Trump Truce". There's a warning in that too

"Ukraine's war" ??!?

Time for the EU to remind India where it's exports currently go
