    Always has been the enemy and always will be the enemy certainly as long Putin remains in the Kremlin.

      I hate to tell you this but this won’t end when Putin leaves Kremlin. Putin is simply acting on behalf of Russian capitalist owners much as European and American leaders act on behalf of their capitalist owners, particularly in geopolitics and international affairs. If you don’t remove the system behind Putin/Trump/Von Der Leyen, they’ll just change the face at the front and keep the shit they’re doing in Ukraine/Venezuela/Palestine.

        While Putin was likely acting on their interests, the current situation has gone completely pear shaped on that front. Putin is stuck. If he backs down, he’s dead, if he doesn’t win, he’s dead. He’s currently riding the limbo between those situations, hoping for a 3rd option.

        If he died, the powers behind him would likely take the chance to disengage. The current situation is bad for business, and plans need to be re-thought. It wouldn’t fix things long term, but short term, they would likely back down.
