He was buying time with Trump. He was never serious about the ceasefire.
After all, he was a KGB Agent. Naturally, he was being manipulative.
I seriously do not think it is him in control anymore. It would actually explain quite a few recent anomalies... We knew it would happen sooner or later because of his health. Would they tell us if this was the case? I bet not, they would put the blame Putin as long as they can.
We can’t say it’s not possible...
“After all, he was a KGB Agent.”
There’s the appearance Putin is no different than a CIA operative. Appearing to do one thing, saying something totally different about it, creating a cover story for it, while actually doing something else. It all boils down to lies and distractions to cover up something illegal.
Wars are no different. Afghanistan being a perfect example.
Back to the Uke war. Russia appears to have no interest in a peace agreement. With that said, it’s now more important than ever for those slimy EU countries to step up to the plate and start funding and supplying their own war, which is the Ukraine war. And with Russian escalation, there is still no reason for us to fund it or to deplete our own arsenal just so the Europeans can kill themselves.
