Hi! Thx for responding. I took a look at your article, too. What do they say? Through a glass darkly. It really is hard to wrap your head around such a severe alcoholic culture, isn't it? We simply don't have an acquaintance with such a violent past, where everyone was just an actual slave to a violent absolutely autocratic regime. Putin is playing with fire. His 2 week little lala special operation completely fell apart and he didn't have the sense to just get out before it all settled into something he couldn't.

So if you read the Wall Street Journal Journal's expose on his bargaining plan with Trump, he's just - it's so crass! - offering Trump and his business buddies a $2T bribe to sell out Ukraine. Witkoff and Kushner are in Moscow today. But some European or maybe Australian intelligence agency leaked the plan and the WSJ published it. Like out of a movie, hmmm?

I don't think the plan is going to go anywhere. Rubio and the Republican Senators are now onto it. Again, out of a movie.

I don't think that Putin can manage the thing for much longer. Absolute power dictators have absolute power until one day they simply don't. I wish the Trump Administration was more together than they certainly don't appear to be. If our people were more together, Intelligence, Defense, and State would be gaming out various scenarios so we'd be ready for whatever collapse may be coming. But I don't even have to say the rest. Wow.
