Putin Recognizes Donbass Republics, Sends Russian Military to 'Denazify' Ukraine

[SasaM]

If it is true he behaved like spoiled child that got irritated because of his ego not being stroked and of truth, his ignorance of other countries history, but it is no suprise for most politicians and general populus, especially US, for them basic formal history is another dimension, and you should sometimes get informed about basics to get some understanding why and how, but for those types it is too much to ask and understanding is not part of agenda, there is only self interest involved, so what is the point of talking altogether, you only talk when you have reasonable parties on both sides, and in the west there is little of that left.

FWIW.
The Financial Times is a British media outlet that would have its own agenda, as in UK's and EU's interest, in 'reporting' that Trump and Putin had a fallout in relations. More so, it would paint both of the leaders in more or less exactly the way the impression of that 'news story' conveyed.

Yesterday's NewsReal presented much more realistic and probable interpretation of Trump's actions and publicly displayed statements/behavior, Putin's stance and in general the kind of diplomacy the RF has been conducting, than most of the news and analyses in the Western media.

Zelensky is ready to launder money for three more years.

Truth be told, as he appears to be and probably really is, with so little not to say nothing in his head, as conscience and soul are most certainly nowhere to be found in him, that caricature of a humanlike creature "is ready" to launder money for the rest of his days, which he very likely wishes, almost surely mistakenly though, to last much longer than just three more years.

Russia's stalling tactics have shown time and time again that Ukraine is the only party serious about peace. We can all see that Putin continues to choose violence and destruction.

We must ramp up the pressure on Russia's economy and its defence industry, until Putin is ready to make peace.

Macron is preparing to send 2,000 troops to Ukraine, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) said.

Ukraine does not want journalists to report about the "real picture" on the battleground.

The Pentagon has given the White House the green light to provide Ukraine with long-range Tomahawk missiles after assessing that it would not negatively impact US stockpiles, leaving the final political decision in President Donald Trump’s hands, according to three US and European officials familiar with the matter.

The assessment buoyed the US’ European allies, who believe that the US now has fewer excuses not to provide the missiles, two European officials said. Trump also said just days before meeting Zelensky that the US has “a lot of Tomahawks” that it could potentially give to Ukraine.

Something is needed to avoid attention on the catastrophic military situation for Ukraine. Will it be related to a different conflict, though?

This story coming out now on CNN just feels like direct Deep State pressure on Trump to escalate the situation. Putting him on the spot.

Is it too far fetched to think that the Putin in Budapest saga (I want to meet, I don't want to meet), and the stock shortage excuse Trump is delaying/diverting from the fact that the crazies calling the shots in Ukraine will complicate things for the Peace President if allowed to have the symbolic Tomahawks launched deep into Russia?

To expand a little, it could be said that the Putin in Budapest meeting was more of a move by Trump to get the Europeans out of his back by using the meeting as a bargaining chip. It didn't seem like they had anything new to talk about after Alaska, so why meet again? All of a sudden?
