Trump seems to be very ill informed about Russia & Ukraine .

Its economy is doing very well . Inflation is high but dropping . I believe that the official inflation figures in the West are a load of B/S as they do not include food or accommodation . The real numbers are probably similar to Russia's .

He seems to believe that Russia has a million KIA . It is probably between one hundred and one hundred and fifty thousand . Ukraine is the one with a million plus dead . Hence the panic about troop numbers and the forced conscription .

Trump is lowering the value of the target (in this case, Putin and invalidating Russia) so that when any negotiations take place, the bar will be much lower. He might then call this a victory, which will be nothing more than a face-saving device. As it stands, I wouldn't trust the US government any more than you can throw it.

Too early to say with any level of accuracy. Bad information or negotiation positioning (with Putin and/or US public) is my best guess at this time...

WHO in any Country even believes the USA anymore.

The tide is turning. This is so in Europe. The EU are dead.

Cats don’t need philosophy because they already know how to live, and they aren’t troubled by any thought of death. Humans look for meaning by telling their lives as stories, but stories can always be disrupted or ended by chance and death. Cats find meaning in the sensation of life itself.

According to Russian leaders there have been no communications between the Rabbi's team and Putin's team, so it appears our Chosen, saved by god so he can restore America's greatness, is just talking to find words. Most likely he is simply repeating something someone told him a few minutes ago.

Certainly his knowledge of Russian economics is missing several levels of thinking as I'm sure is true for his knowledge of China economics and even America's. In any event Russia will demonstrate a strong attachment to the 3 key demands it has had since 2022 and if Adelson's Boy Toy doesn't like it there will be nothing he can do.

I don't see anything changing in the USA/Russia relationship. Trump must know he's got a very weak hand, so he's simply bluffing, as usual. After a few months he will attempt to walk away from the entire Ukraine/Russa fiasco, and say - oh well, I tried to talk sense into them but they want to fight, so let them fight. As if Trump is the adult, and Russia/Ukraine are the children. When the truth is Russia is the adult, USA is the child, and Ukraine is the bedroom that USA has filled full of trash and drugs, which Russia must clean.

From what I understand, Trump is trying to arrange a phone conversation with Putin, and then--if all goes well--a face-to-face meeting. Let's see how the phone conversation goes. Should shed much light on all this speculation.
