“So, do you think Putin would be right to dismiss President Trump?”
Russia is going to fight this war to the end, and fight any other country, to its end, if needed.
It’s not complicated - they are tired of being tricked and lied to, time after time, by the West.
Who's this Russia you speak of that will fight to the end? Do you mean the Russian people who can't ever imagine themselves as anything except peasants to some Tsar, Communist Dictator or Oligarchs who abuse them? The Russian peasants will protect their homeland to the last man like Hitler discovered, but will half heartedly follow a dictator when invading a neighbor. The Ukrainians on the other hand have not forgotten the Holomodor and will fight the Russians to the last man, because they realize living under Russian rule is death.
