Is he seriously just realizing Vlad doesn't want to end the war? I really can’t tell when he’s an idiot or colluding these days
Vlad wants to end the war. On his terms though, cause he knows he can get it.
With Trump yes his chances have certainly increased. Though the EU looks more willing to help Ukraine than I expected, which is great.
There was literally no scenario where Russia could possibly lose this war. Anybody who has an even minimally functioning brain understood this long before the war began.
It's not even a war according to Putin lol
Imagine being so historically ignorant as to try and draw comparisons between the two.
Ah yes, the fall of USSR when millions of people had their lives ruined of course would be the day somebody like you would celebrate.
🤡
Chances have been looking good for russia. I don't believe Europe has the capacity to deal with russians by themselves, they'd really have to ramp up manufacturing.
What is the strategic advantage for Russia for continuing the war?
If I had to guess (my knowledge is a couple of geopolitics books), I'd say Russia wants to create a rift between East and West that is beneficial to China as well. China helped Russia build a quantum computer recently and there are more clues that they're getting even closer together. I think Russia wants to shake the current world order.
Why does maintaining a war, which consumes resources, laborers, and focus/attention, and also creates security threats, be beneficial to Russia for shaking the current world order?
In his mind he's ~6' 3", ~230 lbs with an IQ of 150.
He truly thinks that world leaders look up to him and that he's playing everyone else.
If you can't tell whether Trump is an idiot, then sorry I can't help you.
The issue is figuring out whether any given statement is due to stupidity or maliciousness.
No no he is an idiot but not everything he does is because he’s an idiot.
