Thanks for the Kasparov link LL. Glad I didn’t miss it.

Neither Putin nor the people of Russia want peace. Putin is a warlord with many sub-warlord vassals, and the Russian people (those that have not left) are brainwashed peasants who think they have some holy duty to save the world from what the warlord told them to fear. Unfortunately, the warlord has nuclear weapons.

The only hope is to help Ukraine destroy the warlord’s economy and help the peasants understand that there is an alternative to living as serfs. But that will be very difficult as long as the Western media thinks its main mission is to destroy Trump and stop climate change!

If Putin isn’t acting like a Czar in his land grabs what is he doing different?

Gary Kasparov just said it all straight up.

I think General Jack Keane is correct when he says that Putin will ever give up his desire to control Ukraine, and eventually, the Baltic states.

It certainly seems so. Putin has thrown a lot of Russians and Norks into the meat grinder without much success. But it doesn’t deter him. I think he views Trump’s concern about all the killing as weakness. He’s a stone-cold tyrant with big ambitions, and a million casualties don’t bother him.

IMO, only economic war that beggars Russia will stop Putin. When he can’t find enough rubles to heat the Kremlin, he might reconsider his goals.

If the EU would actually step up and confront Putin, that might help. But right now, Trump is talking peace, and the Eu is still buying oil and natural gas from Russia. Not much deterrence there.

I hope I’m wrong, but I expect the war to continue for some time.

Fog of media war seems really cloudy lately in regard to Ukraine.
One video title claims there is no real prospect for “winning” a peace, so we will end up with a compromise no one is happy about.
Or a title claiming Ukrainian aircraft have blown Russian fighters out of the sky.
Or claims Ukraine is making gains in Crimea.

I suppose the 48 hour to 96 hour rule has to apply for any such discussion.
