Oleksandr Danylyuk is a Ukrainian politician who served as the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, the Minister of Finance of Ukraine. Danylyuk is a co-founder and the Head of the Center for National Resilience and Development.

Sounds like an expert on Russia. Or not.

The West has been pushing this for decades.

Obviously, Moscow has no chance of winning this war.

I don't pretend to be an expert on the situation in Russia and the Ukraine. However, when I see lines like the above, I tend to discount what comes afterwards.

Depending on how one defines "winning" the war, it is not obvious at all that Moscow has "no chance" of winning it. Words like "obviously" are used when the presenter cannot be bothered to make the case with actual facts. So, no, it is NOT "obvious".

This is precisely what Trump was trying to avoid.

His whole policy was to try to wean Russia away from China, and away from Iran. DeepState’s policy has been to drive Russia ever more firmly into the arms of both.

Whether Trump could have succeeded or not we’ll never know. It looked like he had achieved some cooperation under the table, and some tacit understandings with them. But every move to realign them was met with accusations of being a “Russian agent”, though in fact it was his accusers who were on the Russian payroll (and everyone else’s payroll as we know...)

Its notable that Trump provided Ukraine with weapons while never demanding a bribe, while the Obama and Biden gang demanded bribes and never provided weapons until after the invasion.

Its possible that had Trump been allowed to pursue his policy there would never have been a war in Ukraine, no disaster in Afghanistan, and we might have succeeded in stuffing Iran back into its box.

Very interesting analysis of Pooty’s alliance with the CCP. The author did not mention the best scenario that has a chance. That Pooty gets deathly ill and croaks.

If the “news” is saying that Russia is a Chinese pawn then you can bet that it’s not.

Japan, located in between both Russia and China, is probably wishing they didn't attack Pearl Harbor.

China would probably still be Japan's whore, and Japan would probably be at least as powerful as Russia and not worry about repeats of the Russo-Japanese War.

[Kazan]

What utterly ridiculous premise.

Russia is in better shape than its been since the Soviet Union ended. Putin has freed his nation from being enslaved by West and globalism.

The dirty little secret is that West, especially Europe, needs Russian resources more than Russia needs anything from it.
