“The U.S. ambassador to NATO has said Russian President Vladimir Putin has a “sick and twisted and probably not logical” mind. “
That could explain how he let Zelensky outsmarted him.
Putin is dumb. Does he really think President Trump will be scared of another failed Oreshnik test launch at the Kasputin Yar test site before August 8th?
The Russians have a very simple plan - run the Ukraine out of people and weapons.
It's working
Zelensky and his EU and US are backers have a very simple plan - hold up peace negotiations and wait until the Ukraine runs out of aid money and weapons to force a crisis that compels President Trump to intervene and take responsibility for their disaster in the Ukraine and destroy his presidency.
That's not working out so well for them. Trump is Europeanizing the war and forcing the NATO countries to fund the war in Ukraine by buying US weapons.
I guess to Washington DC in London she probably does look insane.. He has a consistent logical message and doesn’t bounce around from day today. He doesn’t lie and keeps his word. And he doesn’t like Nazis. I guess that does look pretty insane to Washington and London
