Article 3 of the Putin series
Article 3 of the Putin series was finished —and I was editing and proofing.
And then I realized something was missing!
I am working on that now. So, it will take a bit more time—but I think that it will improve Article 3 a lot.
What is missing? Wait until I finish. I might find more. Writing is a process of discovery. It is something that people rarely consider or investigate despite it making all the difference to our perception and understanding of geopolitical events and the people that that make those events happen.
It’s “pithy”. That’s pissy with a lisp.
And - there is also the issue of Putin’s “mistakes”.
Are they actually “mistakes”?
Or are they sound judgment in terms of final outcomes? The proof is in the pudding.
Although this particular issue is pertinent in Article 3, I will probably have to deal with it in Article 4, when I get into Putin’s character and background.
I had hoped to mail Article 3 tomorrow – but it will take at least until Sunday.
Apologies. I know, I know — I am a bit obsessive
Gaza
As I wrote the other day, Hamas has offered to cede control of Gaza to another body or organization and release all the remaining hostages in return for a ceasefire, but the Israelis will not take them up on it, sensing weakness. The Zionists are – according to my sources – preparing for a second Nakba as a result of a major offensive with the aim of intimidating the Palestinian population enough that they will flee Gaza . The Israelis can’t kill everyone. This is as much a terror campaign as it is a genocide.
However, Hamas is fully aware of Israeli intentions and will be ready. Do not write them off yet.
Ukraine
Russia launched some of it most intensive strikes with missiles and drones against targets in Ukraine on the 23rd and 24th.

Trump condemned Putin for launching an attack on Kyiv early Thursday, which killed at least eight people, urging the foreign leader to agree to a peace deal to end the three-year conflict in Ukraine that his country started. The Trump administration recently put forward a ceasefire plan that would involve a “freeze” of most territorial lines, Vice President JD Vance said Wednesday, and reports of ceding to Russia’s annexation of Crimea. Ukrainian officials have previously dismissed calls to compromise on territorial integrity.
Trump looks just incompetent. He has no plan for anything at all.
Putin has made clear their would be no ceasefire, without a comprehensive agreement with guarantees. The Kremlin as repeated that over and over again. So why is the White House repeating a demand which it knows will be rejected? Are they stupid or what ? I go with stupid.
Russia is doing what it will do.
Zelensky repeats the same tired lines - as instructed by his neo-Nazi “Deep State” . He’s not stupid— just craven.
To all those how bought coffees recently — THANK YOU! It helps a lot. If you are in a country such as China and cannot access my Google Drive, just let me know — I will get the “special articles” to you another way.
"The Israelis can’t kill everyone".
Wanna bet? I actually see nothing to stop them, unless the factories just can't produce enough munitions.
The great and the good are just watching, smiling.
Trump can't help himself. He knows the acceptable terms. But he is programmed to always make an unacceptable low-ball offer and then prepared to walk away. That is used car dealing 101 and that's all he knows. He thinks he softened up the mark (Putin) with comments about his stupid war that nobody wants and there's nothing left but a junk pile. Trump is doing him a big favor just taking it off his hands at a fraction of the price. Trump even sets a deadline.
Sell Now!!! Before this offer expires!!! In geopolitical terms between superpowers, this probably works about one time out of a billion.
