The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Vladimir Putin says Ukraine must surrender after King Donald called Thursday's discussions with Russia "very good and productive" and said there is a "very good chance that this horrible, bloody war can finally come to an end" and then taking to Truth Social claim: "AT THIS VERY MOMENT, THOUSANDS OF UKRAINIAN TROOPS ARE COMPLETELY SURROUNDED BY THE RUSSIAN MILITARY, AND IN A VERY BAD AND VULNERABLE POSITION." King Donald then asked for their lives to be spared.

After spreading Russian propaganda yet again, Putin responded: "[In] the event of a ceasefire and surrender, they will be guaranteed life and a worthy treatment in accordance with the norms of international law and the laws of the Russian Federation."

The general staff of the Ukrainian armed forces then said, hang on: "The reports about the supposed 'encirclement' of Ukrainian units in the Kursk region are false and are being fabricated by the Russians for political purposes and to put pressure on Ukraine and its partners. The threat of encirclement of our units is absent," it added.

Has King Donald done anything that has not weakened Ukraine's position in favor of Putin and Russia? Howe often has King Donald spread Russian propaganda?

The claim that Ukrainian forces are surrounded was also shot down by defense analyst Michael Kofman, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment who focuses on the Russian and Ukrainian militaries, who called it "simply untrue."

We have a Russian agent as our president.
