“Two years of war for Russia has plunged the country ever deeper into darkness”

“Two years ago, when Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, I was among the many long-time observers of the Kremlin who got it wrong.

Few could fathom why Vladimir Putin, Russia’s calculating leader, would embark on such a risky military adventure, especially when the mere threat of a Russian invasion was already yielding results.

In June the previous year, as Russian forces massed near Ukraine, US President Joe Biden met Putin at a superpower-style summit, describing the US and Russia as “two great powers” elevating the Russian leader after previous US administrations had sought to downplay Russia’s influence.

In the days before the 2022 invasion, Washington offered a “pragmatic evaluation” of Moscow’s security concerns, signalling openness to compromise.”

Those days are gone. No prominent politician can risk being seen shaking the blood soaked paw of Internationally hunted war criminal Putin.

There is no way back for him, and he will drag his enslaved Russia along with him, to his doom.

Vladimir the Disastrous.
