Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that the United States was wading deeper into the Ukraine conflict and making a mistake by providing Kyiv with long-range ATACMS missiles.

He told a news conference during a visit to China that he had briefed President Xi Jinping "in some detail" about Ukraine. He said "external factors" and "common threats" served only to strengthen Russia-Chinese cooperation.

That must mean they are a huge success.

What, didn’t you hear those sounds he made? We have no historical reasons not to trust them as absolute fact.

[–] Fapper_McFapper@lemmy.world 67 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh Pootie, the mistake was you invading Ukraine. Fucking idiot.

[–] cantstopthesignal@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The mistake is the daily decision to not just fucking leave.

Doesn't he have blood cancer or some shit? If so, all he had to do was "retire" to his multiple mansions, and billions in the bank, and be toted as a hero of Russia when he dies. Now, regardless of what he chooses to do, he's fucked. If he doesn't find a way to save face, something will eventually remove him from power; his people or his body.

One of the few times I can nod to my tax dollars as money well spent.

Enjoy making some orc puree; may this stupid fucking invasion end soon.

In that case send them more, they are obviously working.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago

Oh no, best start making mandarin mandatory in Moscow and Ukrainian in crimea, because if you think you’re gonna stay a major power you’ve got something else coming. No amount of belt and road can keep Russia afloat with Putin leading it

[–] avater@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

yeah thanks Putin, we're doing it anyway.

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What's the tally so far from Putin on how many mistakes America has made so far?

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Depends on if you count explosives individually or by the pallet

[–] mikezane@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Uh-oh. Is he going to start making vague threats about nuclear weapons again?

[–] Mindlight@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So it is a conflict and not a "special military operation"?

[–] ANIMATEK@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I’m also intrigued by the allegedly change of language:

“War is war," Putin said

It may be a translation error though.

Russia is losing a war against the US. US still didn't show up.

Pooty is mad everybody forgot about him

[–] etuomaala@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 year ago

If Путин wants people to listen to him, he shouldn't lie so often. I hard-ignore all articles beginning with the words "Путин says".

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

lol get fucked Vlad, your guys are being turned into sunflower food by dusty old shit we upgraded 30 years ago. Solid bet he’s terrified right now, what if we start sharing the shiny new stuff…

Putin says all sorts of things.

[–] spark947@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Putin can always pull his troops put and end this. It is always an option. Keep that in mind when he says anything - its on him.

Stop being such a puzzy, pooty

This is the best summary I could come up with:


BEIJING, Oct 18 (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that the United States was wading deeper into the Ukraine conflict and making a mistake by providing Kyiv with long-range ATACMS missiles.

The Kremlin chief said Washington's decision to supply the Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS), whose use Kyiv confirmed on Tuesday, "just prolongs the agony" for Ukraine.

Ukraine had repeatedly asked Washington for ATACMS to help it attack and disrupt supply lines, air bases and rail networks in Russian-occupied territory.

"A mistake of a larger scale, as yet invisible but still of great importance, is that the United States is becoming more and more personally drawn into this conflict.

He noted that the United States had sent two aircraft carrier groups to the Mediterranean in response to the explosion of violence between Israel and the Palestinians, and said he had ordered Russian planes with Kinzhal hypersonic missiles to patrol over the Black Sea.

Putin said it was good that the West was starting to talk about the need to solve the Ukraine crisis by peaceful means, though he did not cite examples.

Slava Ukraini you suka!

[–] HubertManne@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

so how far is iran, NK, and china in the war? Whos ready to say supplying is being part of it. Oh have to add all or europe of course and possibly canada and australia.

[–] PersnickityPenguin@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well don't forget Ukraine bought 25% of the world's supply of drones, most of which were made in China.

So they are supporting both sides. So maybe China is a swiss neutral?

[–] HubertManne@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

no no. no exceptions. they have to have boots on the ground on both sides :P
