Vladimir Putin will spark a third world war if the Russian president is allowed to declare victory in Ukraine, according to the boss of the country’s biggest private employer.

Yuriy Ryzhenkov, chief executive of Metinvest, which ran the sprawling Azovstal steelworks that became the site of a relentless Russian assault at the start of the 2022 invasion, warned of the consequences of a Kremlin victory.

“I don’t believe that if Ukraine fails, Putin will stop,” he said in an interview ahead of the two year anniversary of the war in Ukraine. “The Baltic states, Poland, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia are the next targets.”

People arguing for russia at this point are russian trolls. Just like it is impossible tonchange a russian trolls mind it is impossible tonchange mine on this. What else does Putin have to do? Send nukes? Probably still a reasonable man in those trolls eyes.

The best way to tell that someone thinks you're actually right is when they break out the "everybody else is a bot" argument. It's massively cringe at this point, cause you're intentionally believing something absurd rather than face valid criticism.

So are you are you a russian troll because i did not at any point mention bots but actual human beings paid by russia?

Oh, of course, that sure is a meaningful difference. My mistake though, please re-read my comment but replace the word bot with troll.

It still is nktnright but if it helps you feel to be in the right (spoiler alert, everybody does) there is not much i can do. Many people, me included, are tired of discussing the same moot points over and over. That russia pays shills to spread their bullshit "arguments" that try to defend this hideous unjustified war is prooven but i guess then you would want me to not believe the "propaganda" from the west but instead the "news" out of russia. Do you see the issue?
