Love it. Nice & simple, leave Ukraine & your soldiers will no longer be targeted.
Nobody wants to hear about the local bully whining about somebody punching him in the face!
There was a short period where I think he was genuinely on the verge of swaying. Sadly it all went tits up he probably got a meeting in one of his underground bunkers by a bunch of bigger bullies from his old KGB days.
Russia looked like it had a chance for his first 4 years, meanwhile he was ensuring the end of Russian democratic experiment from the beginning, it took four years for him to gain that level of incumbency and to get everyone comfortable with him but that was the plan, one thugged out kremlin mtg later it was pay and simp for st. Pete poot or get the boot. 20? years later and the only people to get close to ending him politically are dead by him. He is a thug and there’s only one way out of that life.
He has Moglividich(sp) on permeant detainment, so he has the head of the Russian Mafia itself in his pocket. This MF could EASILY go to ground and hide so hard Osama would be jealous. He just won't. He thinks he's the next Stalin. And although Stalin was MANY things, he was never a hide in bunker and wait it out type Bitch, no, he preferred global domination and watching the nuclear Holocaust with his own welding goggles. I fear Putin is cut from the same cloth. Let's just pray for Ukrainian victory, and NORAD supremacy.
Never going to happen. The Putin collective clans love this war and they want the story of their lives to be about how much they have affected the World. No matter what happens with this war they will never stop.
If Putin loses power and manage to survive a coup, unless he moves to North Korea, he's definitely going to get assassinated by his former friends.
It's either that, or arrested and tried for war crimes, maybe there's a chance for him to avoid death sentence and get life imprisonment
Nearly 500k casualties, being driven out of north Ukraine, VDV forces smashed, routed at Kharkiv, routed at Kherson, only controls 2 of the 4 regions they claimed to annexed, black sea fleet retreated and all of this to sit on only 20% of the country they claimed they would take in 3 days........
Claim victory...... hahahahaha!
To be fair he said “claim victory” and not actually “achieve victory”.
A more reasonable take, or charitable interpretation of the above comment, might be that Putin and the Russian state media apparatus could convince the Russian people that they did actually achieve “victory” by using whatever tactics of manipulation, propaganda, and coercion that were able to convince Russian citizens by the millions to support and even enlist in the criminal invasion of Ukraine under the ridiculous pretense of “de-nazifying” or “liberating” Ukraine.
Others might have a better idea of how Putin/State media could do this. Maybe something like “We actually only wanted to annex this certain eastern territory anyway”, “We only lost 40k troops and destroyed billions in US/NATO military supplies”, etc.
This also assumes he’s able to maintain the support and loyalty of his inner circle of oligarchs, old KGB/FSB alliances, and higher level military leadership though (which might be a more serious threat).
Remember how he claims that the West is the aggressive part - and making that stick inside ruZZia?
Yeah, what we know to be true outside ruZZia is of little relevance inside ruZZia.
If he can get his loyalists in the media, the generals in the army and the FSB to play along, then he can sell the current situation to the ruZZians as a victory. At least well enough to not get couped.
He could but he would have to up the brutality substantially like Saddam after the Gulf War.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1991_Iraqi_uprisings
Arresting people or pushing them out windows wouldn't cut it anymore, in particular there would be a lot of frustration in minority regions who would be angry about the lack of results for their heavy sacrifices.
Maybe not personally but they would feel like they are part of strong and important country.
Losing a war with the losses they have taken would throw a lot of things into question, none of them are good for Putin. The core of the Russian state has always been the appearance of power and when they completely lose that like in the 1990s things tend get really bad for them.
There is a documentary where they show that Russia in the 90es was controled by a group of 5-6 oligarchs. Thy killed people left and right, they lost a war in Cechinea and th regular people did nohting.
In 2024, the people who would to something are either dead, jailed or not in Russia anymore. The rest are just zombies
Lol, your views on russia are wrong. The people who don't support the war will be happy that the war ended, the people who support the war will find a cope mechanism. When Putin pulled his troops out of Kiev in 2022, they just said that it is a "goodwill gesture"
I'd think the Russians should then listen to the Ukrainians. I bet they're not fond of getting shelled with Iranian or NK weaponry.
But I guess it doesn't work that way in Putlers mind.
Yeah, just leave. Stop being rapists and murderers. Russia heard that and they said the whole world is out to destroy their culture. Without rape and murder are they even really Russians? They don't think so.
Kleptocratic opportunism. That shit is inherently ingrained from the bottom up and top down in Ruzzia. That's why I don't bat a damn eye on China's CCP.
Not in frontline europe. Here is an example of what the Finnish then prime minister Sanna Marin said over a year ago in oct -22 when asked to comment after Biden said Putin "needs an off ramp out of the conflict" (retarded pov):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4q7O9lG23Lc
Every nordic and central european country here have leaders who say more or less the same thing as Marin above. Most of us are arming our nations and also sending tons of military aid to Ukraine. Because we understand russia, and do not project my own values and rosy eyed views on them.
It is only the US and "old europe" (france, germany, uk, spain, etc) who still fail telling it like it is, who still appease, pussyfoot and are trying to save Putins face. Chamberlains abund.
These who should speak and act the strongest among us are still the weakest links. Weakest in terms of moral, weakest in terms of will, weakest in terms of leadership and right action, weakest in terms of accepting risk that has already emerged, weakest in terms of owning their own power.
These people escalate risk significantly, and it is going to cost us.
I'll probably get downvoted for this but I miss normal russians. Yeah, a lot may have been anti west but a lot weren't and just goofballs like us. I miss those dudes. I hope they are all safe out there not in Ukraine.
Here,here.love the way the USA don’t take the bait when Russia threatens all the time the nukes,it’s as if they have something’s that the Russians don’t have .Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦🇬🇧🇺🇸🇺🇦🇬🇧🇺🇸
It's been said often but I don't know that this is necessarily true at all. What are people going to do, protest? There's enough reason to do that now, and yet nobody does.
Putin exercises total power, he can declare victory or play victim and send the military home.
...but I doubt he will leave Ukraine willingly until he finishes ethnic cleansing minorities throughout the Russian Federation. IMO this is, or has become, the goal at this stage.
>until he finishes ethnic cleansing minorities
Seemed plausible while he was force-mobilizing men from mainly Russia and occupied-Ukraine, but at this point he's cleansing Cuba, Nepal, multiple African countries, Syria, India, and others.
The BBC found that six of the 10 Russian regions with the highest mortality rates in Ukraine are located in Siberia and the far east.
And that men from Buryatia, a Russian republic whose residents are descended from Mongols, are 75 times more likely to die than men from Moscow.
Ethnic cleansing is just a means of control, the goal is to capture Ukraine, the Baltics, and Poland, but good luck with that. I really wish Poland, France, or hell just about any other country would jump into this war, this shit has gone on too long.
And his only thought is: It is GREAT TO BE KING!!! Nobody can touch me! EDIT= In comparison, loved the last video's of Saddam Hussein when he realized that he was no longer untouchable.
Yeah the only one I completely loathe in the administration is Jake Sullivan. That weasel ass pussy has worried about "EsCaLaTiOn" since day one and because Biden unfortunately trusts him, he's the reason ATACMS, Abrams, Bradleys and F-16s took forever to get there and why other systems weren't sent. I often think that if he wasn't there this administration as he's been there since before Biden being VP, this war may have been over with as the overwhelming support the US would have given could have brought about a different outcome.
Save yourself a migraine and don't click on the guy who's score is hidden. He's a paid russian or a useful idiot putting out talking points that you've seen debunked a hundred times in the past two years.
Cries about western weapons, meanwhile uses Iranian drones and North-Korean artillery and whatever else they can get their hands on from China...? Russia doesn't even use Russian weapons themselves, mostly Soviet stuff that was made in other countries lol.
What kind of narcissistic douche starts an unprovoked war with its neighboring country and then complains about the way they're fighting back? How about stop being a tyrant a-hole, Putin?
Well he's gonna be removed eventually anyway because I d9nt think nato is gonna let russia win. Maybe at the start but after all the claims of fighting nato and killing civilians and what not, imo he's fucked!
Pretty sure Ruzzia's economy is so tied to the war now that they cannot win or lose, the entire house of cards would likely crumble if they found themselves no longer at war with anyone.
I can't help myself. But this one applies. Do stupid things. Win stupid prizes. It's one thing for Putin's advisors to underestimate Ukraine's military response to Russia's illegal invasion. It is entirely another for Putin to not retreat when he could not take Kyiv. It is now a stalemate with no quick solution. I take that back. There is a solution. Send a full scale assault with every Western military aircraft available like they did to rescue Kuwait and run the bastards out of Ukraine.
Attention Russians monitoring this subreddit: your government is using you as cheap sunflower fertilizer. They are feeding your generation to American and European munitions because Putin is embarrassed about the size of his phallus. Act accordingly.
100% correct.
Right now RU troops are effectively crash test dummies for world wide arms manufactures in the testing ground of Ukraine defending their country.
I want Russia to save face but I don't see that happening.
Why do you want Russia to save face? That would just guarantee Take Two some 10 years down the line. They must be put in place properly, otherwise they just keep going.
They have been getting denazified for 2 years straight now on a seismic scale in 4k quality. Both Ukraine and Russia should want peace, but it will come purely at Russia's expense when that time comes.
Anyone with half a brain left. On average they have been only getting worse.
Being from a neighboring country, the only good and permanent solution would be dissolution, unfortunately chances of that happening are pretty low, no matter how badly the war will end for Russia..
I loved when Kirby was in uniform at DoD during the Obama administration because most of the international reporters at DoD asked serious well thought out deep questions. But then some right-wing American hack would ask a bullshit political question that as a military service member he wasn't allowed to answer even if he wanted to, and he would just stare at them like idiots.
Fuck russia. Thinking they willingly will leave is appeasement. Step it up give Ukraine more than necessary to get the job done. Three years too long! This never should have happened. Crimea should have never happened. Faltering foreign policy’s of the USA historically speaking; waiting for bad shit to happen doesn’t work in our favor.
Thats so right! You cant take those guys in Russia seriously. When they complain about western allies to stand with a souvereign country, just fucking leave it.
"Just fucking leave" needs to be the message to Russia. And of course western weapons deliveries more and more until he fucking leaves.
So, the Russians sent arms, even pilots, to Korea and Vietnam, cause USA and Allies many losses and the freedom of both Nations. One in part and the other completely and we are somehow supposed to show them some kind of dispensation in Ukraine. The Russians can go jump off a bridge. Payback’s a bitch.
They really miss the opportunity at these press conferences to point out they’re simply extending to Ukraine *exactly* the same assistance they provided to *The Soviet Union* when it was under attack by an aggressor state.
Therefore they’re being entirely consistent.
Russia would have a hard time countering that reality… especially as it’s something they try to play-down or cover up.
Because Americans don't have to talk shit because our military can back it up. Putin threatens alot and trash talks but deep down inside he's a scared lil girl.
He either gets out now or gets out later. There’s no other outcome. The choice he has to make is whether he wants to control the exit or have someone else control it for him.
This was yesterday (May 6th, 2024) so probably said it again.
ETA: [Full Video of press conference starting at around 28:25](https://www.youtube.com/live/BoShvJ7uEiI?si=ZDHert1kqDUcvCNb&t=1705)
Clean and simple. Russia can leave if it fears calamity and escalation. They are the ones invading and bombing civilians to steal land from the neighbors, in a bid to revitalize their fading imperial past.
Unfortunately, Putin has no way out, lose the war and he will be deposed and killed like every other dictator from Saddam, onwards.
He has to win, like they did in Syria. 😢
I’m glad Kirby caught on , Ukraine has been saying for 2 years end the war and leave. Then the reparation payments and war crimes trials can start. russputin has really put himself in a spot.

Love it. Nice & simple, leave Ukraine & your soldiers will no longer be targeted. Nobody wants to hear about the local bully whining about somebody punching him in the face!
he can't leave. that's his issue. if he loses this war, at the VERY least, he's going to be deposed.
There is a nice comfy villa in Venezuela waiting for him. Or Iran, North Korea, or even China.
probably an unmarked grave in siberia after his own men turn on him honestly.
One can only hope. Should have happened two years ago.
More like two decades
There was a short period where I think he was genuinely on the verge of swaying. Sadly it all went tits up he probably got a meeting in one of his underground bunkers by a bunch of bigger bullies from his old KGB days.

Make it an outhouse in St Petersburg and you've got a surefire way of kickstarting the russian tourist industry.
Never going to happen. The Putin collective clans love this war and they want the story of their lives to be about how much they have affected the World. No matter what happens with this war they will never stop.
you are, almost certainly, correct. as much as i hate to admit it, he has a very strong grasp on his inner circle.
I know a nice city in the netherlands he should visit! Nice beaches, good food and they even have a courthouse he should really keep an eye on!
If Putin loses power and manage to survive a coup, unless he moves to North Korea, he's definitely going to get assassinated by his former friends. It's either that, or arrested and tried for war crimes, maybe there's a chance for him to avoid death sentence and get life imprisonment
Budanov and the HUR will come sniffing for sure. I wonder if any of the Mossad Nazi hunters still alive have been imparting their wisdom already.
Hell, he could live out his life in unfathomable luxury on his billion dollar super yacht, never having to set foot in a country ever again.
I think he could pull back and claim victory
Nearly 500k casualties, being driven out of north Ukraine, VDV forces smashed, routed at Kharkiv, routed at Kherson, only controls 2 of the 4 regions they claimed to annexed, black sea fleet retreated and all of this to sit on only 20% of the country they claimed they would take in 3 days........ Claim victory...... hahahahaha!
I mean There’s also the point where a PMC almost managed to straight up invade and occupy Moscow, and only backed off because of personal priorities
Wagner Group's offices and stash van were raided, with all their funds being seized - no coup if you don't have bank.
To be fair he said “claim victory” and not actually “achieve victory”. A more reasonable take, or charitable interpretation of the above comment, might be that Putin and the Russian state media apparatus could convince the Russian people that they did actually achieve “victory” by using whatever tactics of manipulation, propaganda, and coercion that were able to convince Russian citizens by the millions to support and even enlist in the criminal invasion of Ukraine under the ridiculous pretense of “de-nazifying” or “liberating” Ukraine.

Meh, the minority regions are colonies. They know they were never going to see any benefits as a result of the conquest.
Maybe not personally but they would feel like they are part of strong and important country.

The rest are just zombies
Most ruzzians just accepted the reality of it in 1990. Gorbachev was never in any real danger!!!
Yeltsin was in quite substantial danger during 1998/1999 which is why he resigned and gave the title of President to Putin.
Lol, your views on russia are wrong. The people who don't support the war will be happy that the war ended, the people who support the war will find a cope mechanism. When Putin pulled his troops out of Kiev in 2022, they just said that it is a "goodwill gesture"
"Thats it! We killed all the Nazis! We can go now."
The chances of him being deposed is kinda low since his police and army is suppressing any protests against him and his leadership.
I think they meant by his own inner circle
putler will be deleted by his own people because in the end, they only care about power and money
Happy with thatn
Then they can enjoy the up close American fireworks
The Russian people have always supported their despots *as long as they appear strong* Once that fails, they fall
Ukraine is just gonna punch the air over their own land, and if Russians are in the way it's their own fault.
You deserve more upvotes, lmao
I'd think the Russians should then listen to the Ukrainians. I bet they're not fond of getting shelled with Iranian or NK weaponry. But I guess it doesn't work that way in Putlers mind.
Yeah, just leave. Stop being rapists and murderers. Russia heard that and they said the whole world is out to destroy their culture. Without rape and murder are they even really Russians? They don't think so.
Just an uncivilized kleptocratic horde at that point. No other language for it.
And the sons of bitches decided to pull that crap in the midst of a global pandemic. Talk about kicking the world when it was down.
Kleptocratic opportunism. That shit is inherently ingrained from the bottom up and top down in Ruzzia. That's why I don't bat a damn eye on China's CCP.
and that, my friend is called KISS...keeping it simple
and stupid
Why did you get down-voted? That's what the other "S" stands for people...
Yeah KISS=Keep It Simple Stupid
The last "S" apparently stand for "Stupid People"
The Russian version is ‘keepin’ it SS’
It IS that easy!
It’s not as if Ukrainian troops aren’t being killed by North Korean weaponry or anything.
The easiest thing for Russia was to be a state full of art, science and dignity. Well, they chose the other way
Never an option, as the power brokers were entrenched well before the USSR broke up.
Pretty rare for a politician to make so much sense in so few words.
He's part of the administration, but he's a retired Rear Admiral of the USN. So he's got more military than politician baked into him.
100% right.
Not in frontline europe. Here is an example of what the Finnish then prime minister Sanna Marin said over a year ago in oct -22 when asked to comment after Biden said Putin "needs an off ramp out of the conflict" (retarded pov): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4q7O9lG23Lc Every nordic and central european country here have leaders who say more or less the same thing as Marin above.

These people escalate risk significantly, and it is going to cost us.
Actually not as rare as you think. We're just so used to Trump and MAGAts spouting complete horseshit every second word.
Biden has also been very laconic recently.
It’s the obvious answer that everyone should be repeating. JUST LEAVE, RUSSIA, you’re drunk, go home.
\*JUST LEAVE, RUSSIA, …
We don’t actually want the Russians to leave there. Nobody wants them in their country.
I'll probably get downvoted for this but I miss normal russians. Yeah, a lot may have been anti west but a lot weren't and just goofballs like us. I miss those dudes. I hope they are all safe out there not in Ukraine.
Thanks, important comma.
Here,here.love the way the USA don’t take the bait when Russia threatens all the time the nukes,it’s as if they have something’s that the Russians don’t have .Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦🇬🇧🇺🇸🇺🇦🇬🇧🇺🇸
Yeah the u.s.a has common sense!
Well a majority of em do
Speaking as an American: Meh
Really can't even argue with that. If you want ur equipment and soldiers intact just up and leave and you won't have to worry about it anymore
He's right but Putin big ass ego won't allow him to stop this war and withdraw from Ukraine, he will sacrifice everything just to remain in power
It's been said often but I don't know that this is necessarily true at all. What are people going to do, protest? There's enough reason to do that now, and yet nobody does. Putin exercises total power, he can declare victory or play victim and send the military home. ...but I doubt he will leave Ukraine willingly until he finishes ethnic cleansing minorities throughout the Russian Federation.

one would almost think Putin is decreasing the numbers of possible rebel forces by purposely using them as cannon fodder....
I have no doubt.
Ethnic cleansing is just a means of control, the goal is to capture Ukraine, the Baltics, and Poland, but good luck with that. I really wish Poland, France, or hell just about any other country would jump into this war, this shit has gone on too long.
He will sacrifice everyone else. He himself meanwhile will risk nothing.
And his only thought is: It is GREAT TO BE KING!!! Nobody can touch me! EDIT= In comparison, loved the last video's of Saddam Hussein when he realized that he was no longer untouchable.
Not a fan of Kirby by any means but this is some good shit.
Why not a fan of Kirby?
Might be unpopular opinion but I like Blinken, Lloyd and this dude. I’m from UK tho.
Yeah the only one I completely loathe in the administration is Jake Sullivan. That weasel ass pussy has worried about "EsCaLaTiOn" since day one and because Biden unfortunately trusts him, he's the reason ATACMS, Abrams, Bradleys and F-16s took forever to get there and why other systems weren't sent.

[удалено]
I agree. RU leave Ukraine!
Agreed on both counts!
Hard to get killed in Ukraine if you aren't in Ukraine. Bonus, all their oil refineries in Russia would be safe again.
This is like the Russians saying "Why are you making me hit myself?" Like, just...stop?
John Kirby is the man, always have said that and stand by that and him today.
Yes! As simple as that! Your time in lovely Ukraine 🇺🇦 is beyond overdue. pick up your smelly orcs that are 200s and GTFO 😡 of Ukraine!!! ASAP
It really is that simple.
Cries about western weapons, meanwhile uses Iranian drones and North-Korean artillery and whatever else they can get their hands on from China...? Russia doesn't even use Russian weapons themselves, mostly Soviet stuff that was made in other countries lol.
Most of it in Ukraine.
He should have said GTFO.
Cant argue with that.
Based.
What kind of narcissistic douche starts an unprovoked war with its neighboring country and then complains about the way they're fighting back? How about stop being a tyrant a-hole, Putin?
Best advice.
This is the way.
Take your troops and leave - Take your troops and leave - Take your troops and leave - Take your troops and leave
He told him again? Savage.
Snap!
Based
Based.
yes. mic drop!
Yup. Sounds fair to me.
What about the chemical weapons used to attack Ukrainian soldiers? The irony in this.
It really does seem to be that easy.
Simple, direct language. No posturing, no BS.
Putin can't. He is getting removed if he does this
Well he's gonna be removed eventually anyway because I d9nt think nato is gonna let russia win. Maybe at the start but after all the claims of fighting nato and killing civilians and what not, imo he's fucked!
Saddam got his ass handed to him in Kuwait. He had no trouble staying in power and controlling the populace after that.
I disagree, it's much easier to hit them if they hold still
Pretty sure Ruzzia's economy is so tied to the war now that they cannot win or lose, the entire house of cards would likely crumble if they found themselves no longer at war with anyone.
Bitches leave.
why the fuck didnt they just say this in the beginning wtf?
Fuck yes. Fuck you, Putin. I'm so glad we no longer have his lapdog as President. Fuck you too, GOP, you fucking traitors.
People that are winning normally dont whine... Orcs seem to be crying a lot and pointing fingers..
John Fucking Kirby. Love this guy.
I can't help myself. But this one applies. Do stupid things. Win stupid prizes. It's one thing for Putin's advisors to underestimate Ukraine's military response to Russia's illegal invasion. It is entirely another for Putin to not retreat when he could not take Kyiv. It is now a stalemate with no quick solution. I take that back. There is a solution. Send a full scale assault with every Western military aircraft available like they did to rescue Kuwait and run the bastards out of Ukraine.
What’s Putin gonna do? Cry about being attacked on foreign land? GTFO Putin you dumbfuk.
Attention Russians monitoring this subreddit: your government is using you as cheap sunflower fertilizer. They are feeding your generation to American and European munitions because Putin is embarrassed about the size of his phallus. Act accordingly.
100% correct. Right now RU troops are effectively crash test dummies for world wide arms manufactures in the testing ground of Ukraine defending their country. I want Russia to save face but I don't see that happening.
Why do you want Russia to save face? That would just guarantee Take Two some 10 years down the line. They must be put in place properly, otherwise they just keep going.
They have been getting denazified for 2 years straight now on a seismic scale in 4k quality. Both Ukraine and Russia should want peace, but it will come purely at Russia's expense when that time comes.
Anyone with half a brain left. On average they have been only getting worse. Being from a neighboring country, the only good and permanent solution would be dissolution, unfortunately chances of that happening are pretty low, no matter how badly the war will end for Russia..
Right now the only part of the body muskovits can hope to save is their ass
That’s why we sent the weapons in the first place, to kill orcs in Ukraine.
Fact…
I loved when Kirby was in uniform at DoD during the Obama administration because most of the international reporters at DoD asked serious well thought out deep questions. But then some right-wing American hack would ask a bullshit political question that as a military service member he wasn't allowed to answer even if he wanted to, and he would just stare at them like idiots.
It’s funny he had to explain that.
Listen to the nice Rear Admiral, Putin. He's pretty good at military strategy.
Kirby for President! Fuck magas and pussy liberals
Vlad’s only way out besides all out war with NATO is a Trump victory and negotiated borders to current lines of control.
Fuck russia. Thinking they willingly will leave is appeasement. Step it up give Ukraine more than necessary to get the job done. Three years too long! This never should have happened. Crimea should have never happened. Faltering foreign policy’s of the USA historically speaking; waiting for bad shit to happen doesn’t work in our favor.
How to solve a problem by literally anyone.
Not sure if orcs have enough IQ to understand this… 🤷🏻♂️
This is impossible. How else will Putin maintain his power?
Thats so right! You cant take those guys in Russia seriously. When they complain about western allies to stand with a souvereign country, just fucking leave it. "Just fucking leave" needs to be the message to Russia. And of course western weapons deliveries more and more until he fucking leaves.
if they don't leave, they are legitimate targets. and we should destroy every single last of them
If only he could have this moral clarity with israel, its like he's two different people
Ukraine has become a bear trap for putin he cannot get his foot out
Now that's what I'm talkin bout
THIS IS THE MYRUCA WE NEED 🗣🗣🦅🦅🦅🗣🗣🇺🇲🇺🇲🗣🗣💯🔥💰
Russian orcs consent to getting killed by staying where they do not belong.
I appreciate Mr. Kirby being concise, and not making that response word salad vomit.
FINALLY! A U.S. Government official just says it! RUSSIANS GET OUT!
Well said
And it's as simple as that !!
Duh.
…Or more simply : GTFO NOW !
And Russians can kill Ukrainians with North Korean and Iranian weapons?
Putin knows his days are numbered. 3 2 1 revolt.
So, the Russians sent arms, even pilots, to Korea and Vietnam, cause USA and Allies many losses and the freedom of both Nations. One in part and the other completely and we are somehow supposed to show them some kind of dispensation in Ukraine. The Russians can go jump off a bridge. Payback’s a bitch.
You have to remember they are ruZZians and they are slow to understand!
From what ive seen i really like this guy, why cant the US have a president like this guy?!
He’s under a 186 years old. Not allowed /s
They really miss the opportunity at these press conferences to point out they’re simply extending to Ukraine *exactly* the same assistance they provided to *The Soviet Union* when it was under attack by an aggressor state. Therefore they’re being entirely consistent. Russia would have a hard time countering that reality… especially as it’s something they try to play-down or cover up.
Why so respectful when referencing Putin? We should all be calling him Putiboy.
Because Americans don't have to talk shit because our military can back it up. Putin threatens alot and trash talks but deep down inside he's a scared lil girl.
As a veteran, true.
Messages should be delivered like this all the time in politics
"also, Putin, stick your head in a giant sack of dicks and motorboat"
He either gets out now or gets out later. There’s no other outcome. The choice he has to make is whether he wants to control the exit or have someone else control it for him.
This will only end horribly for Russia. The best i outcome for Putin is for him to be alive.
God I love John Kirby so much
Concise
[That end face deserves this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ag1o3koTLWM&ab_channel=ThemeGuy)
So true!
But 2014!!!!!! /s
based
Fuckin savage and I love it
Did he say this AGAIN? Or is this an old clip?
This was yesterday (May 6th, 2024) so probably said it again. ETA: [Full Video of press conference starting at around 28:25](https://www.youtube.com/live/BoShvJ7uEiI?si=ZDHert1kqDUcvCNb&t=1705)
Putin doesn't want to know this one simple hack.....
I mean, he’s got a point.
Clean and simple. Russia can leave if it fears calamity and escalation. They are the ones invading and bombing civilians to steal land from the neighbors, in a bid to revitalize their fading imperial past.
Unfortunately, Putin has no way out, lose the war and he will be deposed and killed like every other dictator from Saddam, onwards. He has to win, like they did in Syria. 😢
Never complain about the US military. In a world of crazy and unreliable people…. We got your back. Back to back World War champs!
It’s sooooo easy!
Nice & Simple & Corret! go out Putin
I’m glad Kirby caught on , Ukraine has been saying for 2 years end the war and leave. Then the reparation payments and war crimes trials can start. russputin has really put himself in a spot.
Amen That 🙏🏼💥
Someone needs to toss him out a window already
That's the FIRST REASONABLE STATEMENT THIS MAN HAS MADE. SINCE HE FIRST STARTED WORKING FOR OBAMA!!
Who asks these stupid questions though?
Why do they call him “Mr.”? Fuck that guy in particular!
Does this mean Ukraine is allowed to use US weapons on Russian ground?
Simples. [https://i0.wp.com/transformationhq.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/simples-e1475486094820.jpg?fit=219%2C300&ssl=1](https://i0.wp.com/transformationhq.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/simples-e1475486094820.jpg?fit=219%2C300&ssl=1)
No to war.
Basically, it's the same thing he says to Palestinians getting bombed. This guy's a cunt who happens to be on the right side of one conflict.
“Stop hitting yourself” energy.
Stop the war. It's plain and simple.
