One with a wanted war criminal and his syndicate, the other a "statesman" and a man who should receive the Nobel Peace Prize. Putin starts War in Donbas/ annexes Crimea/ launches illegal invasion. Other just defending themselves vs Russian aggression. Putin order his thugs to target hospitals/ apt bldgs/ daycares/ shopping malls/ and his drone guys to wage human safaris vs innocent civilians UKraine just hits military/ oil/ gas refineries/ pipelines/ shadow fleet tankers/ electrical grid. Ukrainians treat enemy POWS with humane care/ Russian shoot POWS/ torture them. Zelenskyy keeps wanting a just PEACE/ Putin wages a genocidal War, and if he keeps getting whacked, threathens WW3 Media keep harping about Ukrainian corruption scandal, I guess you never see Russian media exposing same. To do so= death or the gulag. Everything in Russia is owned by Putin and his criminal cabale. Just wrote this so all the "Putin" lovers in US came hang their heads in shame. Mr. Witkoff?
You shouldn’t worry yourself too much, JK. Putie’s feeling it more than he lets on . . . https://www.kitco.com/news/article/...sell-gold-reserves-cover-budget-support-ruble
Coin collectors are never blinded by the rhetoric and absolute bull crap coming from the Kremlin. Two points from a strategic viewpoint. 1/ Ukrainian fighters have to fight as hard as the Waffen SS fought vs Reds in 1941-45. If they can kill 8X as many enemy soldiers and fight a brilliant defensive war, like in past 12 months the where the Russians only gained 25 sq kms of land. At that pace it would take them 7 yrs to conquer Donets at best. But their economy will crash before 2026 is over. 2/ Kill the Russian lifeblood (oil and gas refineries/ pipelines/ tankers/ rail transport) If they can't sell their product, no $$$$ for their war machine. Putin living in his fantasy world is not being told the truth by his Generals, they boast about great victories that are make Him believe in fairy tales. All economic indicators show how the whole Russian economy is tanking, all their money is going into military spending, leaving none for basic social programs/ maintenance of infrastructure/ running the state. The key to victory will be sinking all of his "shadow tanker fleet". Three have been hit, soon with no insurance to cover losses, no tanker will go near any Russian port. So far in the war, since Russia invaded, the materiel losses are jaw dropping, in trillions of US$. Putin has sold 3/4 of his gold reserves, after that whats left to sell? 3/ Thank God there will be no "capitulation Peace Deal". Rubio the only person with brains and a decent man said, we must insure that any Peace is fair to the Ukrainian people, and there must be 100 percent guarantee of their prosperity and sovereignty, which mean zero threat of another invasion by Putin. However, that can only be truly solved by a powerfull Ukrainian armed forces and NATO membership, screw Putin and his childish tantrums.
