And Zelenskyy's term didn't start until 2019. He gave Russia prisoner swaps, etc. to prevent the invasion, but Russia attacked anyway.
Zelenskyy tried to mend its relationship with it's breakaway regions and Russia. Putin's a warmonger, plain and simple.
Botched peace deals don't really work out. Just look at what happened to Vichy France. Half occupied, reduced military, and even with extreme collaboration, Germany Invaded again.
The terms Russia wants is pretty much the equivalent of the 1st partition of Poland.
I propose Israel should become the 51st state. Think about it.
- Cost of maintaining them would be slashed to a fraction, since currency doesn't have to be converted to Shekels.
- Strategic naval position: we have coast on Mediterranean

Just a name I ended up making up on my Nintendo DS for pictochat. I remembered I had got a new one, put the name on it, and took my older beat up one with a broken hinge, put it in front of my (now deceased) cat, and pretended to chat with her.
The Game itself is benign, the problem is that the pictures used in promotional artwork reference NSFW works.
The same thing happened to phantom forces, you started seeing out of place "catgirls" all over the game. Later found out the server owner was a groomer, and the top content creator was a registered sex offender.
As for the NSFW Steam game, it's a shitty puzzle game that forces you to lose so you can see the sick imagery.
Welp now the triggered can only get news from salon.
