"Apparently, the enemy is striving to improve its negotiating positions in the future," Putin said Monday. "But what kind of negotiations can we even talk about with people who indiscriminately strike at civilians, at civilian infrastructure?"

Pot, kettle, black
My guess is that Ukraine is not inentionally targeting civilians, which is a significant difference.
A very significant difference.... vast majority of Ukraine's over-the-border strikes have exclusively been military camps, infrastructure, and usually energy/export infrastructure that Russia uses for oil revenues. The right way to conduct a war.
If they were, we wouldn’t believe it. That’s the double-edged sword of lying constantly.
I'm surprised he's publicly acknowledging this improves Ukraine's negotiating position. He seems so paranoid about it that he thinks he needs to get ahead of Russians pressuring for peace by portraying Ukrainian soldiers as monsters.
The Ministry of Truth has spoken.
Double-think
Bruh indeed. If Ukrainians were half as bad as Russians have been in their strikes, Belgorad and Kursk would be flattened rubble, St. Petersburg would be full of husks of buildings and there wouldn't be a single intact hospital within the city limits of Moscow. But yeah, please go on how Ukraine is attacking civilians.
Russia is the Katie Ledecky of gaslighting.
He speaks truth 🤣😄!
Putin - "Oh no the consequences of my own actions!"
It's cute that you think Putin is feeling any of these consequences himself.
He is. They are striking gas refineries and abilities for Russia to make money. As Czar, that hits him in the pocketbook.
I like the image of Putin with a purse.
I have a purse.
You know, I mean it’s the same thing if a man carries a little bag, a little purse in his hand, you know? That’s all it is, it’s a little purse. It’s a purse; that’s all. Some guys can’t handle that word. Some guys who carry them can’t even call it that. They’ll say, “Where’s my little bag?” I say, ”fuck you it’s your purse. Pick it up and get out of here will you?” I mean if you can’t handle the word, don’t carry the bag. That’s all it is a little purse. I got one, big deal. What does it mean? But some people like to taunt you they’ll say, “Is that your purse?” And I say, “Yes it is and I have a picture of your mother in here sucking off an Indian.” And that seemed to satisfy their curiosity.

George Carlin was angry at the world....and rightfully so.
Yeah, we lost a national treasure when he died. I was really lucky to have seen him live. I think he had a cold, because he sounded sick and he was a little off, but it was absolutely worth it anyway.
Lucky. I wanted to go see him when I was 7 years old in the late 80s. My mom wouldn't take me. She said "he says 7 things you can't say on tv." I said "I know. I want to hear what they are."
My mom decided that wasn't a good enough reason to go take her 1st grader to a George Carlin show in 1989.
How dare she!
George Carlin would win an argument and THEN turn it up to 11.
Who is downvoting you??? I used to think it was a bot going around downvoting people, but now I think it's one asshole guy just going around Lemmy, and downvoting EVERYTHING.
Or maybe it's two guys. The two muppets in the balcony at the muppet show who hate everything.
Russian astroturfers. I would have hoped lemmy was too small for them to care but they are here. They are doing a horrible job and Putin should arrest all of them. They need bodies for the border anyway.
If they were doing a good job, then Russia coverage would be more pro-Russia wouldn’t it? They can always get women to operate the troll farms, gotta feed more meat into the grinder at the front!
They have to be discreet. If they're too obvious they'll get called out and their efforts will backfire.
I don't think Statler and Waldorf hate everything, they're just old AF and see everything as an absurd waste of time.
I didn't downvote them, but I understand why. It's a meme reply brought over from Reddit and dropped everywhere, which adds nothing of value.
The dildo of consequences sometimes arrives covered with fragments of broken glass
Honestly Russia is getting off easy in this case, if Ukrainian invaders had the same barbaric attitude the Russians had moving into Eastern Ukraine, we'd be seeing a lot of fucking warcrimes, rapes and looting as the army moved through. It's possible there are isolated incidents of that, but on the whole I've not heard any reports, where in summer 2022 it was a weekly fucking thing for video to pop up of Russians doing just that.
With cat piss for lube.
I order putin to choke on a fat dick.
They could collect fallen ruzzian dicks and keep them in a freezer for when putin keels over. I can see it now in the news..... this morning putins burial site next to the Walmart dumpster was found to be covered with real frozen dicks.....
Not a lot of guys would volunteer for the war if they saw where their dicks would eventually collect.

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
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.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
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.
