Something about the G7’s over-eagerness to meet with Zelenskyy is suspicious.

There was a false note in it.

putin has exposed the great weakness of the west.

energy security and food security are security.

since the west has decided to shoot itself in the foot and criminalise farming and criminalise fossil fuels, they have weakened themselves .

you cant touch putin.

he is armed to the teeth, he has a vast country rich in natural resources.

sanctions wont work, military posturing wont work.

what would have worked is to "keep your friends close and your enemies closer" as donald trump was doing.

and lets quit the BS about trump being a coward.

he met kim jong with no bodygaurd . trump understood that authoritarian states have certain advantages over the west in terms of war.

if biden doesnt like it,  he can quit with the "death by 1000 strokes" that ukraine is currently suffering and front up troops.

but he wont

the left should read robert greens "the 48 laws of power" and educate themselves on how to deal with a bully.

there are more ways to kill a cat then choking it on butter


according to Robert Greene, power rests on our capacity to control ourselves, not to let our emotions show, to remain fluid, elusive, and unpredictable, not to take sides. It also resides in our capacity to exploit the weaknesses of the other, therefore to spot them, to listen, to court.

Power requires the ability to play with appearances. Deception and masquerade should not be seen as ugly or immoral. All human interaction requires deception on many levels, and in some ways what separates humans from animals is our ability to lie and deceive. Power is essentially amoral and one of the most important skills to acquire is the ability to see circumstances rather than good or evil.

Power is a social game. To learn and master it, you must develop the ability to study and understand people. As the great seventeenth-century thinker and courtier Baltasar Gracián wrote: “Many people spend time studying the properties of animals or herbs; how much more important it would be to study those of people, with whom we must live or die!” To be a master player you must also be a master psychologist.

Good post Aqua,
maybe NATO has the idea of bleeding Russia dry over a long period of time? -
maybe 5 to 10 years? -
even long enough that Putin will die of stress and his old age?

As ambiguous as it’s politically possible to be.

Ukraine and Trump has challenged the Old Cliche's of Putin wanting a renaissance of the USSR and Democrats/Biden's 'Build Back' the good old days like where his dementia is at (not in the present moment).

The world is changing, its about to shed its old skin again.
China's military will be as awesome a Supernova as Betelgeuse (suddenly flared up 50% brighter than normal this past month). But once China expends its Military might - all that will be left of it is a small yellow dwarf star.

So to is the Old Cliche of Nazis as a threat. Long gone - now its the Moslems to do to the French (left out in front by Europe) what the Germans did to the Jews. They want their 'Messiah' and Gay France will provide it for them - before they put down their Old Empire of Islam, put down the gun and begin wandering the deserts like the Jews of old, as Israel as a military 'Empire' rises.

Out with the old and in with the New.

This war was intended to be the first of many in Eastern Europe.

It’s crash through (retake former Soviet territory) or crash.

Russia will become as isolated as Putin is. In a world of its own in a room watching Russian TV as its own connection to the world outside.
Putin was told by his establishment (the Party still exists) that Ukraine wanted to be liberated and it was an easy walk in.
Like many Leaders who isolate themselves at the top - they are fed lies by those in the middle who really run the show.

well the first thing to realise is that putin is, in no way scared of nato.

if he was, he wouldnt have moved all his forces to the donbas and left his borders defenceless.

putin understands the west very well.

trump was unpredictable, impulsive, outrageous.

putin probably isnt going to take on someone with those characteristics.

putins knows china and india want his fuel and his food.

if the west was smart , they would have gone all out to frac everywhere and prodiuce so much food that vlad has no bargaining chips.

instead they followed the advice of a 13 yo autistic girl and now vlad cant be outflanked.

people have to eat and burn fuel so russia is sitting pretty.

and he's shown he is a madman with plenty nukes so he cant be touched.

game over.

give him the dombas, make friends, go back to trumps idea of getting out of nato and make the world a safer, more proserous and paradoxically safer place

I don't think Putin knows much at all these days - locked away in his isolation cell in fear of his own  establishment. They let him play 'leader' while they do what they want. I very much doubt he has any real say in any major decision these days and is pretty much a Television Muppet for the Establishment to stick their hands up his arse and make him talk.
Much like the Democrats do with Biden.

the leader of china has read the 48 laws of power.

he will get


russias natural resources AND he wont get any nukes lobbed at him AND he wont have to spend a cent on the whole affair.

but , of course, the mainstream media will paint Xi as a madman and biden/harris as super heroes  Roll Eyes
