Yesterday the President fell asleep, yet again, during a televised fake Cabinet meeting staged so that each of his courtiers could heap praise on him, praise for which he couldn't stay conscious. He woke up just long enough to spew racism. Why is this not being treated as an emergency? >

Seriously, how many times does Russia need to reject all the peace plans and propositions before people in the US administration understand that they actually don't want peace?

Because Russia is a self-declared adversary of the United States. It's fielding new advanced nuclear weapons that are specifically targeting the United States.

Russia’s Rosneft reports a 70 % drop in net income for the first 9 months of 2025, down to 277 billion roubles (~$3.57 billion). The company cited high interest rates, lower oil prices, a stronger rouble, and rising “anti‑terror security” costs as major pressures.
Real reason: Ukrainian sanctions.

Actually- what is fundamentally wrong is Putin got away with invading Crimea and every country didn’t immediately send troops and weapons to defend Ukraine on day 1! Ukraine gave up nuclear weapons on the grounds they would be protected. Everyone has failed Ukraine! Too many have enabled Putin!

Ukrainian forces released videos of the operation against the two oilers Kairo and Virat in the Black Sea which tried to reach the Russian coast.
The message is clear:
If you are a shipowner trying to get Russian oil, expect that you will lose your whole ship.
