  2. “Closer and closer?” What does that mean? And if a country at war can’t join NATO, then why would Russia ever stop the war?

  3. Keep Boris Johnson far away this time.

  4.  @maryanchabursky9148 Russia is not calling for any ceasefire. He always leaves the door open for peace negotiations, but it’s not a necessity.

  5.  @markalexander832 ever wonder why Kiev wasn’t turned into an ash heap with all that Russian gear pointed at it?

  6.  @markalexander832  Finland isn’t an existential crisis as Ukraine is. Also, Putin views Ukraine as a little Slavic brother, home to many Russians.

  7.  @foilhat1138  Russia withdrew from Kiev after an understanding that the peace agreement would signed. There was no grand battle for Kiev. The small shock force that Russia sent did not have the capability of occupying a city as large as Kiev.

  13.  @chrisavithan9951  what are you supposed to use them as? And what of the AFU elite forces that have been liquidated at the front?

  14.  @foilhat1138  I don’t follow the war to that level of granularity. Do you expect elite forces to stand out in the open then?

  15.  @foilhat1138  and how would they get to those positions? Walking out in the open? And where on the map are they entrenched in?

  16. Which is why he stays as vague as possible. “Closer” in relation to what?
