  He will start whining for the US to change dates and match up with Russia's "true, biblically accurate Christmas" on an upcoming show.

  KYIV, Jan 5 (Reuters) - Ukraine spurned an offer from Russian President Vladimir Putin for a 36-hour ceasefire over Orthodox Christmas, saying there would be no truce until Russia withdraws its invading forces from occupied land.
  The Kremlin said Putin had ordered a ceasefire from midday on Friday after a call for a Christmas truce from Patriarch Kirill of Moscow, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church.
  "Taking into account the appeal of His Holiness Patriarch Kirill, I instruct the Minister of Defence of the Russian Federation to introduce a ceasefire regime along the entire line of contact of the parties in Ukraine from 12:00 on January 6, 2023 to 24:00 on January 7, 2023," Putin said in the order.
  "Proceeding from the fact that a large number of citizens professing Orthodoxy live in the areas of hostilities, we call on the Ukrainian side to declare a ceasefire and allow them to attend services on Christmas Eve, as well as on Christmas Day," Putin said.
  But Ukrainian presidential adviser Mikhailo Podolyak tweeted back that Russia "must leave the occupied territories - only then will it have a 'temporary truce'. Keep hypocrisy to yourself."
  He said that unlike Russia, Ukraine was not attacking foreign territory or killing civilians, only destroying "members of the occupation army on its territory".
  Podolyak, had earlier rejected Kirill's for a truce as "a cynical trap and an element of propaganda". He described the Russian Orthodox Church, which has endorsed the invasion, as a "war propagandist" that had incited the "mass murder" of Ukrainians and the militarisation of Russia.
  Ukraine has previously dismissed the prospect of any Russian call for a ceasefire as an attempt by Moscow to secure some respite for its troops, which Ukraine is trying to force from territory Russia seized by force after its invasion last February.
  Russia's Orthodox Church observes Christmas on Jan. 7. Ukraine's main Orthodox Church has rejected the authority of the Moscow patriarch, and many Ukrainian believers have shifted their calendar, celebrating Christmas on Dec. 25 as in the West. >
  
  Podolyak's a sharp cookie. He's got Putin and Kirill figured-out. >
  
  Patriarch Kirill, the man of the people with Mercedes limos, who is allegedly worth hundreds of millions of dollars (maybe even billions), skims money off every donation and item sold at a Russian Orthodox Church in Russia, and wears luxury watches worth more than most Russians make in a year? >
  
  Nothing surprises me anymore about Russia. It seems to be an entire society that hasn’t been able to get over the soviet experiment where people had little to no possessions of their own and where theft was a requirement to survival. 
  The soviets are long gone but the old habits of ‘I want that, so I’m going to steal that’ never died it seems. It makes sense to me when I see everyone at the top of the pillars of society stealing absurd amounts of cash. >
  
  Russia is Florida with oil money. >
  
  That... is very fair.
  There's something there that's similar, the shared belief of "reality can be whatever I want" by the powerful and vicious.
  But the scale is not comparible. >
  
  I agree with you there. >
  
  I will say this:
  I'm not sure how aware Florida is of their problem, my experience in the south is that they generally think they're right about most things, except the younger generation who sometimes compare their world to what they see online and see something is wrong. >
  
  after attacks on new year day? >
  
  The Russians wrote "Happy New Year" on a suicide drone and sent it towards Ukraine on New Years eve. And now they want a cease fire for nearly two days because of a holiday themselves? 
  This is an obvious ploy by them to be able to point their fingers at the Ukrainians who do nothing but defend themselves. They have been using these disgusting propaganda tactics for months. >
  
  Russians shelled kherson on 24th killing 12 and wounding ~50 people. Now they want truce for their christmas eve... >
  
  Putin doesn't actually want one, he just wants to use "we asked for a ceasefire for our holy lord's day of birth but these satanic demons are heartless and relentless". 
  Using it to whip up the religious orthodox in their country. Propaganda and using religion as a weapon. >
  
  FYI they don't think that Jesus was born another day. They just celebrate when the 3 wise men came and brought the presents with them. It's the same in Spain. >
  
  Wrong.
  The orthodox church uses the old Julian calendar instead of Gregorian, so their Christmas is on January 7th while the New Year is on January 14th due to a leap year error.
  These dates will change in the next leap year. >
  
  Not like Ukraine's fighting on Russian land. All they had to do was just pull back to their side of the border for the Christmas and that would have been a ceasefire. >
  
  This is a surprisingly good point. Rather than risk losing ground, they managed to spin it into an anti Ukraine talking point. 
  Kinda wish the only response had been "We won't attack targets outside of Ukraine for the holiday season" so it wouldn't have the optics of a truce refusal. >
  
  Nah man, how the fuck you gonna try to come into my house, and then call a truce while I'm trying to get your ass out?
  Fuck out of here with that. >
  
  Good analogy. The whole thing is so ridiculous. Imagine if Hitler had called for a truce after D-Day. >
  
  Whoa whoa whoa timeout guys I wasn't in my bunker yet >
  
  Don't forget all the nasty antipersonnel mines they air dropped into that humanitarian corridor!  You know, the ones that look like toys. >
  
  Straight from the damn Hunger Games. Snow dropping in bombs disguised as aid packages. 
  “Art imitates reality” and reality is damn disturbing. >
  
  As Snow said "Oh Katniss, I thought we promised to tell the truth to one another. Do you really think if I still had a functional airship I would use it to bomb children instead of escaping?" >
  
  “Oh, my dear Miss Everdeen, I thought we agreed not to lie to each other.”
  That and the scene from Catching Fire when he visits Katniss in the Victors’ Village are my favorites. >
  
  So did we ever find out the bombs were from snow or not? >
  
  President Coin sent them in hopes everyone blamed Snow. It was one of the reasons Katniss rejected Gale. >
  
  Russia doesn't get to unilaterally call the scope of this war.
  Even if he did get all artillery to stop, he'd be mobilizing and starting an offensive during that time.  Sure a lot of Russians would get drunk on Christmas, but the trains would keep moving, shells and missiles would continue to be loaded and new recruits would be brought to the front.
  For Ukraine, a target is a target in the occupied areas.  They would be foolish to let their guard down, not take out a bunker or ammo dump. >
  
  To be fair that was a revolutionary war, not an invasion. >
  
  Give him 12 days of Himars instead. Fucking cunt. >

  If my troops were running short of supplies and ammo, I'd suggest a short "reload" truce too! >
  
  Also running short of troops. >
  
  Also if my troops were running. >

  Someone will have to first explain to him why they have a different Christmas. >
  
  He's a Russian puppet, I'm sure they already explained it to him.
