I’m starting to think that Putin doesn’t give a sh*t what Trump thinks of him. He’s just another murderous, freedom-hating Communist bass turd.

Is this why the general officers have been called together?

Will shaming Putin actually work? Nice job if it can be finessed.

Even the general Russian populations has to be questioning Putin’s motives. For sure a number of the other Russian Federation leaders are grumbling a bit among themselves.

Dear FRiends, Our FReepathon is our next concern. We still need to raise approximately $13k before the end of the month to meet our goal! And I think we’re gonna need a little

prayer here. Thank you very much and God bless you.

Must be someone else who said that just a couple of days ago.

A big problem for the secret police cabal that runs the Kremlin is the low quality of the personnel in their army in Ukraine.

I strongly suspect the Kremlin realizes they cannot achieve any more major territorial gains unless they mobilize. They need young, healthy, intelligent, motivated soldiers.

But if they mobilize there is a high risk it will be a political disaster for the regime, if they try to force a large number of ordinary Russians unwillingly into the meat-grinder in Ukraine.

On the other hand, if there were some event that changed the political feeling in Russia, such as a conflict with NATO that the Kremlin portrays as a threat to Russia, that might motivate young men to be willing to fight.

I think this may be why the Kremlin has been baiting NATO countries with drone and warplane incursions in NATO airspace. The Kremlin may believe NATO shooting down some Russian aircraft over the Baltics or Poland or Romania may spark more domestic support for the war in Ukraine which might support mobilization. I’m not sure they’re right about that, though.

I see the low intellect keyword crowd is at it again.

So sad that they can’t argue the point. But they know their limitations, so it’s all they have.

Trump may be disappointed in Putin but the Putinistas on free Republic sure aren’t.

Ukraine doesn’t have the manpower to defeat Russia without NATO troops on the ground. There’s no popular support among the EU or the US populace for this to go forward unless they try and fool us with some false flag attack. If this goes on to become a world war the EU would be forced to institute a draft. Attempting that would likely cause the fall of EU governments. Outside of special forces I doubt Trump will be sending US troops there either because much of MAGA would rebel against him. So Trump probably sees this as a negotiating tactic although I’m sure the neocons in his administration have other plans. Hopefully Trump resists them.
