Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The memorandum, published by the Russian state media, was less of a peace plan and more a demand for Ukraine to surrender, defang its military and become a vassal of Moscow.

If Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy thought that his spectacular drone strike on Russian air bases would yield a Kremlin compromise, Russia issued its blunt response in black and white: no chance.

After waiting for weeks for Moscow to present its ceasefire demands in writing, the West finally got them Monday with a memorandum issued by Russian envoys in Istanbul.

Few analysts really believed that Ukraine’s “Spiderweb” plot would gain immediate concessions from a stubborn President Vladimir Putin. And so it was.

The memorandum, published in full by the Russian state news agency Tass, was less of a peace plan and more a demand for Ukraine to surrender, defang its military and become a vassal of Moscow.

Russia has seemingly broken itself by the war economy drive to the point hey are incapable of stopping the war on any terms, as it would immediately collapse the country.

If Ukraine were to capitulate, another war would immediately start, likely in Moldova, then the Baltics, then...

There is simply no peace until Russia reforms economically, societally and governmentally.
