People in Britain who think they are governed by fools should take a closer look at the Russian and US presidents. Vladimir Putin is systematically ruining his country. His war of choice in Ukraine is an economic, financial, geopolitical and human calamity for Russia that worsens by the day. For his own murky reasons, Donald Trump, another national menace, offered him a lifeline last week. Yet Putin spurned it. These two fools deserve each other.
On the table in Moscow was a “peace” deal that, broadly speaking, rewarded Russia’s aggression by handing over large chunks of Ukrainian land, compromised Kyiv’s independence and weakened its defences against any future attack. The Trump deal, if forced through, would have split the US and Europe; ruptured Nato, perhaps fatally; reprieved Russia’s pariah economy; and probably toppled Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s government.
These are key Russian war aims. But Putin, suffering from neo-imperial fantasies and legacy issues, said “no”. He reckons he can get it all, and more, by fighting on. He has persuaded the idiot Trump that Russia’s victory is inevitable – and that scheming Europeans are the real warmongers. Yet his premise is fundamentally flawed. Hard facts confound him. Almost four years on, he’s still trapped in Donbas mud and ice. And at home, things fall apart.
Russia still has plenty of customers for their exports and they won’t lose any territory after this is over.
Hey Fizz, comrade, have you heard the news??? The mighty midget, Pootang, is raising the cost of vodka by 30% in January !! What will you have for breakfast now that vodka is too expensive? That’s what you get for tolerating a dictator with a tiny penis !
Its so cringe to assume any realistic comment is Russian. Its clear from your comments in this thread you have no idea what’s happening. You must get only feel good stories like the one op posted.
Lol. Only so long as they do not annoy China. ALL of ruzzia’s east is looking shakey, and even if China refrains from taking back what is rightfully theirs, there are a few repressed little republics that don’t want to be part of shitty ruzzia any more. There’s an excellent chance that ruzzia will lose Siberia as a direct result of their military shitiness having been exposed. And I REPEAT: NO-ONE wants shitty ruzzian weapons any more. And, Ukraine will finish peeling off the few countries that keep supporting ruzzian oil exports as they keep sinking more and more of ruzzia’s shadow fleet. Once the ruzzian oil fields shut down, ruzzia won’t have the expertise to start the oil flowing again, for decades. It sucks hard being a ruzzian now, and it will only get worse for you, Yuri ! You will never have plumbed toilets, ever.
