Lavrov and his illusions are more scary Putin I think. I sometimes feel like he is the main person behind the manipulation of the Russian people.
Lavrov can go jump out a window. >

Molotov on the other hand lived till 1980s. >

The reason he is so hard nosed about this is bc everyone that has backtracked from Putin’s stance has “fallen” to their deaths. >

Nobody wants to die "mysteriously" I guess. >

I wonder if Russia realizes exactly how unscary they have become. >

I dont think you understand how scary Russia has become.
An unstable radicalized Russia with one of the largest nuclear stockpiles in the world is scarier than their previous image of semi-stable strong military mafia state. >

Wow, two failed despot authoritarian regimes are potentially collapsing and you think it’s the rest of the worlds fault you’ve pushed yourselves to the edge of no return? Get real. >

Smells like death throes of dwindling empire. >

What reason is there to continue?
Is victory possible? Probably not. They would have to ride out another 2 years with Biden and pray someone like Trump replaces him. And even then, still, probably not.
If they keep fighting will it persuade Ukraine not to join NATO? Not a chance. Not unless it comes with a peace deal which includes the return of Ukrainian territories, along with reparations. And even then, probably not.
The only reason I can fathom is to satisfy Putin's ego. >

Nah, its about the money now. They poured too much of it into this war to back out becuase if they do they will have to admit defeat and have no gains at all.
You can see it on the frontlines. Right now Ruzzians are on the defensive, with exception of places where they eliminate unwanted groups of people like criminals and minorities. Isn’t that curious that none kf the places where tbey have made any gains have ant famous or even regualal military units making said gains? Look it up and you will see its mostly mercenaries and mobiks pushing the frontline in the south East.
First of all they want to get some gains to declare a Phyrric victory and prevent republics of federation from breaking free, as well as keep their bootleg NATO alliance still working, second they want to prevent economic collapse by getting profit from gas and oil, and increase their internal influence by jailing every opposition, eliminating unwanted oligarchs, and making locals even more pro government by brainwashing them into thinking the economical crisis and 100k dead Ruzzians are western and Ukrainian fault, not theirs.
This is why they are fighting tooth and nail for Crimea. If they not make any gains, its bad, but if they lose territory that took them 10 years to control and expand, who knows what may happen. 
How will they lose the war? By losing all territory, and even if they dont pay reparations, losing Europe as client will be like a shotgun shot in the knee. And if sanctions keep up for the next 1 or 2 to 3 years they will turn into North Korea with 60% of population in poverty, relatively big but poor army, and nuclear weaponry being the only reason why people even Remember they exist.
Or they will go nuts, lose their minds, declare a total war, call Serbia China Iran North Korea and some other countries to help them and will have to be put down like rabid dogs they are. >

Nyet Lavrov
Nyet Lavrov 
You lie even more than
Once did molotov >

Lavrov flaps face-sack and more shit flies out. >

Doesn’t rule out a forced retreat with your asses handed to ya Lavy’ >

Eh, if he wants to fight I'm down to keep funding it. >

Bucket of blood for Lavrov at table zero >

Iran doesn’t have nukes they’re not exactly under the same protections as russia i dont get why they’re involved. >

Iran and the west have been at odds for awhile. Given the improving ties between Russia and Iran and the worsening ties between Russia and the west it makes sense Russia would politically support them.
One of the reasons Iran is a major concern for the west is while they don't have nuclear weapons at this time they are actively trying to develop them. >

The ones who are really scaring the world are you and your master, Lavatory! >

Hey Lavro? That window next to you looks shaky 🤣 >

To be fair, Lavrov saying "yes to withdrawal in Ukraine" would induce an immediate defenestration.
