Putin has always believed that Russians and Ukrainians are one people and that Ukraine can thrive only in partnership with Russia. It was Zelinskyy’s comments that Ukraine wanted to join NATO that was Putin’s trigger to begin the annexation, similar to how Trump feels about Canada. Apparently, oligarchs think alike.

Do you actually know what an oligarch is? I don't think you do. An oligarch is a person or small group that controls a government or business in a secretive manner. Trump is the most un-secretive guy on the planet. Wanna know what he's thinking? Ask him and he tells you. If not go to his social media account and you'll find even more. You know just like Xi, Putin and Biden right? Everyone know what they're thinking! lmao

So when do we militarily invade Canada? And Z's comments about joining NATO was pushed by Biden when the world knew that Putin would react negatively to that but we kept pushing and look what happened.Was it worth it? And please don't give me that crap about a free country can do what it wants. Cuba was a free country in 1963 and we didn't let them do what they want. Iran is a free country but if it want to get a nuke we'll blow them up

The press wanted to know what he was thinking when Trump isigned the order to deport the Venezuelans to El Salvador and he said he didn’t sign it. But when he was shown the order with his signature on it, he replied that he ment to say he didn’t sign the 1798 law that authorized the deportation. Typical of how oligarchs twist their responses to cover their lies.

You may not want to believe that Trump does not secretly control business; however, the Trump Organization is controlled by his sons under a trust which owns the Trump Hotels and golf courses, where Trump houses his Secret Service detail when he travels and houses visiting ambassadors While in office, Trump has visited his properties over 500 times to meet with his contributors.

Also, do not forget that Truth Social is run by Jr.; Laura Trump Collection is run by his daughter-in-law; the Trump Winery is run by Eric; Trump owns his meme coin - Strump, and Jarod, his son-in-law, secured $2bn in Saudi funds for his investment company.

So we start off with peace at least in the Black Sea. Well that's a start. Not a coincidence it starts there as Russia's Black Sea port they consider vital. In fact is was so vital that in the agreement to be independent Russia was promised free access to their port only to see that access hampered from 2010 on and I am sure we had something to do with that.

To me, the American-brokered deal for a maritime ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine looks little more than a dream Kremlin wish-list and another example of President Trump‘s handing more concessions to Putin, such as lifting cyber operations against Russia; welcoming Russia back into the G7; disbanding the FBI’s foreign inteligence task force; pairing back enforcement of the Foreign Asset Registration Act; and voting with Russia at the UN against our allies on an amendment to condemn Russia’s aggression in Ukraine.

Trump on Tuesday said Putin was "playing with fire" by refusing to engage in ceasefire talks with Kyiv as Russian forces hit Ukraine with the war’s deadliest drone and missile attacks while not moving forward on ceasefire efforts. Apparently, Trump has finally come to realize Putin is not such a good friend after all.

Russia launched one of its largest air strikes on Kyiv in over three years of warand struck a maternity ward in the southern city of Odesa in attacks that killed at least three people, officials said on Tuesday.
The overnight strikes followed Russia's biggest drone assaultof the war on Ukraine on Monday and were part of intensified bombardments in what Moscow says is retaliation for attacks by Ukraine on Russian bombers last week.

Ukes continue to fight seem to gradually geting more of the air control .

Would love to know the actual inflation rate in Russia ,last time US economists took a real look it was circa 26% . I suspect over 30% now .

So Turkey has survived with high inflation but then they are not fighting a major war .

Trump and Putin were on the phone yesterday and Trump commented he was not happy with the results of the conversation. Russia recently launched its hardest areal attack to date on Ukraine and the Pentagon has halted shipments of some air defense missiles and other precision munitions to Ukraine due to worries that U.S. weapons stockpiles have fallen too low.

The Ukes claim that they won more land than thay lost in August . Rus attacks infantry heavy the Rus seem to lack equipment , the Ukes contesting the Air more and more as their air power grows . Euro support grows as US wanes /

Ukes continue to improve their position . The Russian economy is unlikely to recover this centuary and Russia itself may not survive in it's present form /borders .
