Pretty good synopsis from Putin.
Your lips to G-ds ears, my friend. I hae a really good friend in the UK — he’s an interesting story — blue collar, old school punk rocker/Goth, factory worker. A grandfather, and to his surprise, he’s now a far right conservative — as are most of his friends. They’re all terrified at what’s happening to their contry, angry that their guns were given up years ago, and getting really riled up at the invading hordes destroying their civilization.
Putin may be right but I suspect the reason for his blunt statement is to force the elite to fight President Trump harder - to prove Putin wrong.
In other words, sow additional discord to minimize the possibility of the west unifying.
Ha hah hah!
Putin is learning to troll the Euro-trash elitist. Fantastic. They Euro-trash deserve pain. Lot’s of pain, and Trump is going to deliver it.
Well done Donald Trump
BREAKING: NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte just agreed with President Trump on Greenland and is calling on Denmark to immediately begin negotiations.

You don’t survive for as long as Putin has survived in Russian politics unless you are smart and ruthless.
I’ve heard great professional athletes say that “game recognizes game”, IOWs great players recognize other great players even if they are totally different personalities.
Putin recognizes that Trump is the real deal, the tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China only reenforce this idea in Putin’s mind and other world political figures that Trump means business and if he will hit Canada a NATO member with 25% tariffs there is no limit on what he might do to other countries.
“Russian Leader Putin: Europe’s Elites Will Soon Stand at Donald Trump’s Feet and “Gently Wag Their Tails”
I’m surprised they started out with the chest thumping. Not a good idea to piss off Trump, not at all.
“But Trump has better ideas about what is good, what is bad, including in gender policy...”
You should have excluded this part - it’s really going to TRIGGER the Zeepers.
lol!
” Putin may be right but I suspect the reason for his blunt statement is to force the elite to fight President Trump harder - to prove Putin wrong. In other words, sow additional discord to minimize the possibility of the west unifying.”
I don’t blame you or others for saying the above, but maybe Putin wants a civilized Europe that he can work with, because he sure as hell is telling them what they need to do (jettison Globohomo, don’t shutdown nukes, and stop population replacement).
I don’t think it’s 4D chess, I think he’s actually scared of having a Taliban-run Europe facing off against him.
I knew I liked Putin. Brilliant phrasing. Bet Trump is laughing his head off. Their meeting is going to go very well.
Putin also wants Trump to knock China down. He knows they are his biggest threat as well as ours. Biden was owned by China along with 1/3 of congress.
What is a “Zeeper”????????????

“Putin also wants Trump to knock China down. He knows they are his biggest threat as well as ours.”
I’ve known that since 1990, Russia has known it hundreds of years. But the Republicans got rich off of China, which had the added benefit of destroying the labor unions (something I completely agree with, by the way).
Now, thanks to the Neocon War in Ukraine, it’s very late and possibly impossible to pull Russia completely away from China...the best we can hope for is Russia in the middle, but that’s likely a pipe dream now.
Ouch, that’s gotta leave a mark.
Zelensky is already pushing tha American forces be in the Ukraine for the ceasefire rather than European forces intimating they are useless. Too bad. Germany and France need to get off their asses and police the cease fire. We have better things to do than to baby sit Europe.
Nobody said Putin isnt observant of foreign policy of the united states and the EU. He only really seems to have drank the kool aid on russian history, but a a child of a fallen empire you will have that. Did not really get himself all the entangled in OPEC for the past 25 years and got his nation to being a reasonable exporter of energy and the products of heavy industry. If he would stop worrying about NATO and the EU and join the modern economy, the russian people would rejoice and he could retire to a house he would never see every room in.
“In other words, sow additional discord to minimize the possibility of the west unifying.”
Amazing. The same idiotic parlor game of finding out how every act and word of a Russian, especially Putin, is actually some Byzantine plot. Putin could say he admires his mother, and people would find a way to explain how it was some dark political motive.
Meanwhile every Euro leader is wise as to the ways of the Russians and aren’t easily fooled. The only sin a Euro leader can have is not pushing for all out war.
