#Putin will never settle for less than "everything" he was after by invading #Ukraine in the first place as long as he can continue to convince #DonnieDumbass that *Ukraine* was the aggressor and must pay for THEIR aggression against #Russia.
@w7voa Umm, no.
“He has three advisers,” Lavrov replied, according to the oligarch. “Ivan the Terrible. Peter the Great. And Catherine the Great.”

I'm just getting through the Muscovy/ Russias section of the excellent @empirepoduk , and good gravy, these people were *brutal,* especially Peter the Great. Great as in MAGA. Greatly horrible, terribly brutal.
I think that any cease fire will be considered a pause.
I'm hoping Ukraine achieves victory, but America's defection is going to be hard to survive. Putin really does see himself as an emperor / caesar / czar / military and political leader, and he longs to stitch Russia back together. History is helpful, here.

This was long before #putin had anything like the power he has now. In those days he was part of the administration/'machine' in #stpetersburg .
JD Vance’s cousin fought for more than two years in Ukraine as part of the "Da Vinci Wolves."
47-year-old Nate Vance, a former U.S. Marine, joined Ukraine’s forces in 2022, saying he "saw history being written."
"JD is smart, but what they did to Zelensky was a dishonest ambush. Being relatives doesn’t mean I’ll accept him aiding in the killing of my comrades,"

"Just days ago, a Russian official strongly urged America to stop sharing intel with Ukraine. Trump complied."

If Trump is not stopped soon, he’ll no longer be necessary to Putin.
Give that a think.
The poison spreads like a spider’s paralytic.

Huge article on #Wirecard CFO who is now confirmed to be running spies for #Russia within Europe.

Wirecard collapsed and then #crypto began to rise within under a year... which I'm sure is just totally a coincidence.

"Trump’s loyalty to himself to the exclusion of all others is well-known. But he has a master he cannot afford to displease. The upshot of that is that Russia has untold leverage over the United States and Europe.
It took all of twenty minutes to turn the world upside down. It will take years to repair the damage."

"The country that once stood against the fascist Axis in World War II now operates on the opposite side of the ideological spectrum.
That dynamic has to change, or America simply dies."

"Many watching the antics of Trump and his vice-president, JD Vance – and the subsequent cheerleading from their far-right political allies – will have been sickened by what they saw: an American president channelling the words of Vladimir Putin and the Kremlin. In the cold light of the day that has followed, the world – and Europe in particular – has woken to the most uncomfortable of realities."
