As you know Putin refused Trump’s offer to stop hitting Ukrainian energy-infrastructure and actually doubled-down on attacking Ukraine.
Thus, Ukraine responded accordingly.
The Kremlin is crying now. They just had to follow Trump’s idea. But they refused. Sad.
Some of this is surely propaganda, but I would suggest more of it is just being vested in their earlier arguments/debates.
If Russia attacks Ukraine and 4 and half years later they still have not met their objectives, it doesn’t matter, they are still winning. If the US strikes Iran, and 6 months later have not met their objectives, it is proof Iran is winning. Why is that bar so much higher for the US?
