    Crazy how Putin in the words of this ghoul is still more willing to compromise than they are, suggesting at least a less imminently threatening form of membership.

      Because the reality is Russian didn’t want a war and Putin spent ten years trying to avoid it.

      If they hadn’t attacked first, Ukraine would be invading them in three years with twice the forces.

      Coincidentally, the media would still have said Russia struck first, completely buying whatever Ukraine narrative was put out.
