What a hilariously worthless statement given how many of his promises Putin has ever kept: Zero.

Yeah right. And meanwhile he'll still be running the bot farms, relentless disinformation campaigns and killing people he doesn't like on foreign soil.

Respect is earned.

“I swear, this is our last imperialist incursion into another sovereignty if you respect us by giving us the land we encroached upon and other economic rewards for having done it. Pinky swear!”

Putin is on the back foot.

As if Putler can be trusted.

In 2004 Putin said: We have settled all our border issues. What this amounts to is full and absolute recognition of and respect for Ukraine’s sovereignty, not only as concerns its land borders, but also its sea borders. Source: http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/transcripts/22661

Die already you murderous twat

Liar tells a lie.

What about "special military operations" which is what Putin was calling his invasion of Ukraine?

His words are worthless.

"I will not attack any countries after Austria Georgia and Poland Ukraine." I think I've heard this song before.

He also told us he wasn't invading Ukraine.

On 5 December 1994, at a ceremony in Budapest, Ukraine joined Belarus and Kazakhstan in giving up their nuclear arsenals in return for security guarantees from the United States, the UK, France, China and Russia.

This aged like fine milk.

Yeah, as long as the world regularly respectfully cedes land, resources and slaves then russia won't go to war at all with anybody.

No more wars? But Ukraine isn't even a war. It's a special military operation. He needs to promise no more of those.

I'd never show Putin what men like him believe respect to be. It's never short of complete submission.

Lol no

I'll take this into consideration if you withdraw to your own borders in the current war your started...

But, Maldova, Poland, Estonia, <..and more> are really already part of Russia if you think about it. And Russia needs to protect it's borders, so if you have a border, abutting Russia, you're really already part of Russia. Mirroring the circular logic justification for Israeli settlements.

Bully tactics. Why are mental children in power everywhere currently?

Oh, well if you pinky promise. /s

I think the most interesting thing here is the trajectory of Russian demands. They've really moved closer and closer to an actually reasonable ask over the past few months. It makes me think they know exactly when they're going to run out of stuff.

Not trying to be funny, but I thought this was The Onion at first glance.

Here he goes again with impossible requests. Nobody is going to respect Russia for a looong tine.

Just special military operations, obviously. Not wars. Wars are a bad thing.

Buddy, you're clearly angling for a takeover of Belarus openly. Try not to have your next target picked out when you make shit up about respect.

You will respect me at the point of this gun.

What a joke of a person. Wish he starts burning in hell yesterday.

PTP (Putin or Trump Promises) = wipe your ass with it.

And by "respect," he mans capitulation and servility.

I'm surprised he didn't demand thanks for the restraint Russia has exercised by not having defeated Ukraine yet.

"Trust me, bro!"

then be respectable and hold legitimate elections you Nazi piece of shit.

Liar says what

Just like he promised after stealing the Crimea in 2014?

We did and you started wars. First end those wars and start acting more respectable.

So... give us what we want or we'll take it by force, in other words?

Lol

Respect the criminal.

lol

Why does his hands look like gloves made from a corpse

What about special military operations tho?

How about a nice Christmas tree branch up putin's ass? Which side in first?

I believe him...........

Before the war, ordinary Russians were slowly getting fed up with Putin. As per the dictator's playbook, Putin is stoking the base tribalism of the citizens to distract them from his government's own corruption. The world respects Russia, it's only that the world doesn't respect him.

When did Pootin' become the evil Rodney Dangerfield?
