Russia is selling oil at $34, gutting budget revenues. Deficits are funded by massive bond issuance, draining bank liquidity forcing permanent central bank support. Deposits are leaving, defaults & restructurings are rising, real spending is falling, civilian output is shrinking.

For years, many Americans treated Putin as a transactional leader you could deal with. That’s a mistake. Today, he’s driven by ideology—not logic or Russia’s national interest. If we don’t understand that, we won’t deter him or end this war.

Trump's "business deals" with the Russians are just billions of dollars in bribes from Putin to get Trump to sell out Ukraine and betray our NATO allies.

I have zero sympathy for Western firms still operating in Russia, now worried that Putin might seize their assets. They should have left 4 years ago.

Trump offered to keep Ukr out of NATO and Pu rejects the offer saying Ru will take its "historic lands," diplomatically or militarily. Imperialist conquest, not pre-emptive war over NATO security concerns. It's disqualifying for any political scientist to continue insisting Mearsheimer got it right.
Putin plans on continuing the war.Russia doesn't want peace:
The goals of the special military operation will be completed.We would prefer to do it.But if the opposing country&their foreign patrons refuse to have a constructive discussion,Russia will achieve liberating its historic lands militarily

So "historical lands" now eh'?
But NATO! But the evil west! But this and that!
This was always just imperialism and the usual Russian need and lust for war.

Putin: Russia will keep expanding its “buffer zone” in Ukraine and place the new “Oreshnik” system on combat duty by year-end. He claimed the goals of the war “will absolutely be achieved,” warning: “We prefer diplomacy, but if the West refuses, we’ll liberate our historical lands militarily.”

100% truth.
⚡ Zelenskyy: The Russians always blame others and always try to explain their wars through someone else’s actions. As if the reason for their aggression is never in Moscow but always in their neighbour's.

100% truth.
The only actual solution.
Alternatively that Russia starts seeing military setbacks. That will also make Putin interested in negotiations and on much better terms.
Expectations management: There won't be a Ukraine deal anytime soon. This is what it would take to get Putin interested in negotiations:
1.) Territorial "presents" in Donbas.
2.) Ukrainian army below 100.000 men and strict limits on weapons.
3.) No functioning security guarantees.

We have changed.
We used to buy Putin's oil, until he had enough billions to attack us.
Now we buy Trump's weapons and pay his tariffs, until he has enough billions to take Greenland "one way or the other", make Canada "the 51st state", and turn Palestine into a new "Riviera".

#Russia can’t be both a global superpower, capable of annihilating anyone at will, and so fragile that tiny neighbors are an "existential threat".
If they’re powerful, their wars are just imperialism. If they’re weak, their violence is a tool for the Russian regime to stay in power.

Holy moly, do people still think the U.S. is an ally of Europe? It is now an officially stated foreign policy goal to undermine the EU and centrist European governments that don't ideologically align with MAGA.
Europeans are waking up this morning to find the new US National Security Strategy (quietly) released. And what it has to say on Europe could not be clearer. On the „stark prospect of civilizations erasure“ for example. 👇

🇧🇪 Belgian PM Bart De Wever told La Libre that Russia “will not lose” in Ukraine and called claims of its defeat “a fairy tale and total illusion.” He warned that Russian assets must be returned post-war and said Moscow threatened Belgium with “eternal retaliation” if confiscated.

The Russian army is exhausted too. Russia is taking far higher casualties than Ukraine, and after 3.5 years has barely moved the front line. The idea that Russia is “winning” is simply not supported by the evidence. As I told DW News.
