Amid a flurry of talk about potential negotiations and with Russian troops continuing to bear down on Kyiv, Vladimir Putin made one thing clear on Friday: he won’t stop until Ukraine surrenders.
Ukraine: NUTS!
The response was already delivered from Snake Island. Go Fuck Yourself.

The hacker group Anonymous has said it is “officially in cyber war against the Russian government” reports the Guardian’s global technology editor Dan Milmo.
The statement in a tweet thread came as several Russian government websites such as the Kremlin and the Duma, as well as the state-backed RT news site (formerly RussiaToday), were hit by so-called distributed denial of service attacks.

The Anonymous collective is officially in cyber war against the Russian government. #Anonymous #Ukraine
Anonymous, whose targets in the past have included the CIA and IS, added in another tweet that private sector entities would be affected too.

#Anonymous is currently involved in operations against the Russian Federation. Our operations are targeting the Russian government. There is an inevitability that the private sector will most likely be affected too. While this account cannot claim to speak for the whole (con)
In a DDoS, a website is deluged with spurious requests for information – akin to stuffing a thousand envelopes through a letterbox every second – that render the site unreachable.
According to Craig Terron, a senior analyst at Recorded Future, which monitors cyber-threats, the RT site remained “intermittently available” today , having gone down at 5pm (2pm GMT) Moscow time on Thursday.
The website is intermittently available, with continued reports of users unable to access the website, as of 1330 Moscow time on 25 February.
RT said it had been “able to repel” the hit on its servers.
Putin is a thief and this is a smash and grab operation: He knows he couldn’t hold Ukraine if it refuses but he’s playing to get the regime he wants.
My guess is that Ukraine surrendering is a bad idea. What a mess.
горішки!!
Putin isn’t going to name terms because he doesn’t want to give Ukraine a chance to end the hostilities. Nobody is buying his BS except for some Republicans and I bet he wishes he had done this when Trump was POTUS.
Sounds waaaay better than “Let’s Go Brandon!”, doesn’t it?
The Russians may be on the outskirts of Kiev, but that’s not the same as controlling it, and I wonder if that fact, along with the Ukrainians’ fierce resistance yesterday and the street protests in Russia, is leading to Putin’s demand that Ukraine surrender. He’s more interested in just getting the hell out of there, now.
Well, to be fair Putin did get all of this set-up while T**** was POTUS. Just did it now to try to make Biden look bad. Fail!
In the words of Ukranian martyrs…‘Go FK yourself!’
He and Orange Voldemort appear to have the same proclivity for projection. No wonder they get along so well.
Denazification of Ukraine? WTF??? Donnie has a rival for the prize of being the most bigly liar!!

That, Putin suggested, would include the end of Ukraine’s current government, which he described as a “band of drug addicts and neo-Nazis who have holed up in Kyiv and taken the entire Ukrainian people hostage.”
So Tucker has been giving Putin advise on how to spin his war of Eastern aggression?
They’re attacking FOX Newz? Maybe they’ll release 33,000 of Tucks’ emails.
Tucker Swanson McNear Carlson (facsimile)
Pootie’s gonna alienate his republican supporters if he keeps bad-mouthin’ neo-nazis. Just sayin’.
Putin wanted to make Biden look bad, scare the other countries in Eastern Europe, and weaken NATO. Biden is being admired for his reactions, NATO has been strengthened, at least some of Eastern Europe is looking to the US and NATO for protection, and there are protests in Russia in spite of the dangers to the protestors. Taking Kiev is going to be very costly for them, if they ever want to control it without leveling it. If Putin still thinks this was a good idea, he may be the only one left who believes that, outside of Trump and Tucker Carlson.
I suspect his troops surrendering en masse may have a effect as well.
