This isn’t news, Putin and Russia have never disappointed, they’ve always been the worse country…USA being their ally is news, that’s the horror story, why, what’s changed, why after all these decades would the USA turn its back on every single country and embrace Russia, STOP being distracted

Putin & Trump, & by extension the USA, can’t be trusted. As an American, I’ve seen it firsthand. Since Republicans refuse to exert their power, the USA is going down. The majority of us are doing what we can, but Trump & Repubs still have the power.Until that changes, every day is uncertain.

Putin is spent, he is begging for cannon fodder and ammunition from other dictators.

He is weak and wants to keep what he's stolen and to rebuild, just like every invasion he's done, that's NOT peace and the US should NOT provide it!

We know it, Putin knows it, Zelensky knows it and maybe even Agent krasnov knows it but this '30 day ceasefire' will give Russia time to re-arm and re-group ready for a massive spring offensive whilst Krasnov leaves Ukraine exposed and vulnerable (as planned). It's a sickening betrayal.
