Among the many reasons you don’t kidnap a foreign head of state at gunpoint even if you have the capability, is that it sparks consequences you can neither control nor anticipate.

Franchement, on pense ce que l'on veut de Zelensky, mais avaler de telles couleuvres avec un tel self control quand le voisin mérite un bon coup de boule, c'est assez admirable.
Kudos to Ukrainian President Zelenskyy for keeping himself together after Trump‘s statement that „Russia wants Ukraine to succeed“. I would have bursted out laughing. But his facial expressions are priceless.

Trump: "Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed. It sounds a little strange but President Putin was very generous in his feeling toward Ukraine succeeding, including supplying energy, electricity and other things at very low prices."

I think it is possible that Russia might invade European countries like Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland, primarily because the Russian state keeps saying it wants to invadw European countries like Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland
What are you even talking about! I am saying it is a delusional fantasy to suggest Russia is going to invade European countries like Poland, Germany or indeed the UK, which is the insane drivel currently being promoted in support of a disastrous arms race.
