She said that the Russians can continue the war a lot longer, while Ukraine can't. (This is what I pointed out a while back: in a war of attrition, Russia wins.)
LOL, why would Putin be stalling with the peace negotiations if it is going so great for him? Why not just conquer Ukraine if he's such a great warrior and has such a great army? Why waste time with these shenanigans?
Putin is stalling because he's in trouble and needs more time and more money that he doesn't have anymore because of the sanctions.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
