He is like Trump in that way.
The latest from Putin is that he is increasing the military. How? Sanctions and tanks that kill their personal. Where is he getting the materials to reconstitute his hardware and where are the soldiers coming from?
It isn’t just the materials and equipment, without the USA’s stolen knowledge the expertise isn’t there. That reality plays interestingly into the files at Maralago. Putin and Trump planned to conquer the world. The USA coup was just the first step.
I think Putin alliance with Trump was more than protecting Russian sovereignty with USA know how, it was a much bigger picture. Putin knew he had only one shot at this and it was Trump. Trump bought into it.
Ukraine is not Syria. He got away with killing and destroying infrastructure in Syria because those that opposed him were fighting a primitive war. Ukraine is not a primitive war. Putin is out of touch with reality because those that surround him are afraid of prison and death. To keep Putin happy is to assure them their lives. Putin needs to be told the reality of Russia’s military inferiority and decline since his invasion into Ukraine.
It is okay for Russia to admit it is failing. It is a good place to face reality and find peace. No one is looking to invade Russia to take it over and commit genocide of the people. The world is not interested in that. He needs to stop complaining about NATO expansion as if Ukraine is not Russian expansion.
