Some may think that the US is the whole entire world, but Putin's sights were on the EU. In 2012 he said:

“Russia is an inseparable, organic part of Greater Europe, of the wider European civilisation. Our citizens feel themselves to be Europeans.” 

But that was not to pass. Europe rebuffed him.

To understand Putin's point of view, you may wish to read his address at the 2022

Valdai International Discussion Club meeting

So your saying that Putin's "plan" is to reduce or remove completely, US influence in Europe? Well...I think that Brandon's admin has only aggravated an already imperfect situation. 

About half of Russia is in continental Europe. None of the USA is in continental Europe. Yet since the failure of the Soviet Union, Russia has broached the idea of closer ties with Western Europe several times and been ignored. So Russia is in the process of creating its own relationships and power base. He's given up on Europe. 

If only people had listed carefully to Trump a decade ago when he was asking why the USA and Russia can't be allies.

Rebuffed, because Putin is a criminal dictator who terrorizes and murders his own people, invades his neighbors and stands against most European values.  Shocking.

Russia is in the process of floundering further and further into isolated, failing obscurity.  

Are they in Odessa yet?

The Russian economy is in complete collapse, due to the War in Ukraine. It's now at the point that we are seeing in Russia can tolerate much more casualties and economic devastation. If they cannot, the War will soon come to an end.  

 

Aside from that, it will take perhaps a generation to recover from the massive amounts of Russian casualties of able bodied men. The Russians have lost more people that at any point since World War II.

Enjoy that.

No Tweenkie-Poo. I dream of prosperity. Something Brandon was never able to deliver.

What do you dream of? Laughing at people while they suffer? Warping gender? Corrupting kids?

Referencing Russian GDP "growth" as evidence of the strength of its economy is exceptionally (but on-brand) stupid considering it's all being achieved via state-funded military spending.  The Russian trash they produced for the battlefield in 2024 counted for their GDP, but all they have to show for it now is a bunch of shrapnel and wreckage in Ukraine, and a whole lot of debt and inflation at home.  🤡🤡🤡

I don't know why you think you are in much of a position to mock him when you are his opposite on the other side of the spectrum with irrational hatred of Trump.

I must admit that I've had little faith that Trump will be supportive of Ukraine and won't throw them under the bus.  I'm tentatively optimistic by his threats of additional sanctions...

I don't think any of us are making the outlandishly absurd claims you are. 

We are quite realistic about what Ukraine is facing and what they are doing. We are not over here claiming they are going to take Moscow in a week like you are on here bragging about them taking Odessa....

I think he's referring to a topic I wrote back in late 2022, outlining why the Russian army faceplanted so hard, and predicting Putin's downfall.  

The fact that Russia's invasion was already a miserable failure even back then was lost to him, as it is now. 

The one thing I was definitely wrong about was how brainless and futile the average Russian citizen is, and how long they'd die for a criminal who cares nothing for lives.

What outlandish claims? Last spring the expectation was that the Russians would move on Odessa.

Today the Kursk fight is turning into a shooting gallery and the main front is collapsing.

Trump and Putin are soon gonna be negotiating peace terms and I doubt anyone expects Russia to just walk away from the lands they've taken.

No, this causes me no amusement at all. It breaks my heart to see people suffer. And suffering will increase under Trump.

I do not hate. My conclusions are rational. Trump is not good for the fate of Americans or the world.

Seems he's doing just fine so far.

But no matter what Trump does, you're gonna hate it anyway so...

It might broaden your perspectives if you can get out of framing everything in terms of hate.

  • Russia could run out of liquid reserves as soon as this fall, one European economist has said.
  • The nation's liquid reserves have dwindled to $31 billion, down from $117 billion in 2021.
  • Limited funds could hinder Russia's further war efforts
  • the online forum poster "Nationalist" smells funny

Well...if you call Ukraine losing ground daily and the pending prospect of a negotiated peace deal, "A different version of reality"...then yes...its different from whatever reality you seem to be caught in.

However...My "differnet version of reality" happens to be the one most people live in and with.

But you go and play with your clowns and be happy. When its all done, you can still insist that Ukraine is winning the war.
