Probably not very good.

But I heard a very interesting argument today to the contrary.

They said in effective that a Ukraine in NATO would have been a WWIII tripwire.

But instead, Putin is creating a neutral Ukraine right between East and West.

The conclusion was that, assuming we get through the rest of this, we might actually be living in a much safer world.

A former KGB Officer and Russian Dictator. A globalist elite and a young Klaus World Economic Junior Leader.

So Putin wants Ukraine to be neutral? Doubt that. Albeit, if Ukraine is a Russian puppet state, then Poland becomes a de facto NATO Nation right on Russia's border.

Yes. I say him at the WEF video conference.

I don't think he is part of it's He's a nationalist. He's just keeping his enemies close.

Depends on who wins and writes the history.

Ukraine won’t be the end. There’s more to come.

Do you really think Putin wants a neutral Ukraine? That would belie his own statements about Ukraine being part of Russia

If the post-CW NATO states were regularly posturing and taunting Russia and pushing boundaries I might agree. But I don't think any of that is seriously happening without pretty considerable Russian prompting/involvement.

The USA is working hard with non stop media propaganda to get the public okay with sending NATO/USA troops to war. They will show every death on tv and pull hard on your emotional heart strings 24/7. This was why Biden was brought into office, to do what Trump wouldnt do, go to war with Russia. If you have family in the military i would get them out or come up with a reason why they wont go fight Biden's Corrupt War.

Putin wanted assurances of a neutral Ukraine. That is what he asked for. And they would give no assurance.

And his ranting about Ukraine not being a real country with a right to exist that has always been inseparable from Russia? Thoughts?

Im just telling you what's being said. No assurance would be given by Ukraine or the United States.

A statement to that effect would have saved alot of lives.

By who? Putin?

Because Putin also said those other things, in the days and hours before he invaded Ukraine and started the killing.

Putin has been saying what he was going to do for decades...back to Bill Clinton...he has said what he wanted many, many times. Many people, and NATO members, could have done something.

No one listened and here we are.

To be clear, there are two types of culpability here

- The first is western style "but for our hubris we wouldn't have put an irrational actor into a corner" responsibility

- The second is the type where you actually do the killing

So yeah, there didn't have to be killing, and the person largely responsible for that is Vladimir Putin.

Hard to say at this moment.
Most likely a shrewd dictator who managed to keep power despite CIA/globalist effort to overturn him.

We'll see what moves he makes after this de-facto Cold War style Iron Curtain coming down around Russia. Uncertain times ahead.

Turn around a country nobody respect.

Let Russian people have enough food and money.

Before Putin, Russia can not feed its own people. A lot girls went to west do dark business.
