Putin is content sitting in a heavily fortified defensive position, allowing Ukraine to run into their front, waiting until Trump returns.
Putin does not need to advance. Why waste lives and resources, when he can just outlast Ukraine and make a deal with Trump in a year? Trump wants to uproot Ukraine also. It’s a Deep State proxy, and Trump knows it.
In the meantime, Russia can methodically demilitarize Ukraine’s future fighting capability by forcing Ukraine to exhaust all their vehicles, equipment, ammunition, etc., while sustaining as few casualties as possible by fighting from the largest defensive front assembled since WW2, as opposed to trying to take land and expending a higher casualty rate.
Then when Trump returns, they can make a deal to end the war, stop US meddling and proxy control of Ukraine, “denazify” and fully demilitarize, and agree to Ukraine’s neutrality from NATO. Oh and of course, prosecute everyone responsible for this calamity, which would include the violations of the Biological Weapons Treaty.
This appears to be Putin’s plan. The Deep State cannot have this, as it would mean their extinction. The race to keep Trump out of office is on.
A game of thrones.
Exactly and the fact is there is much common ground between them. We’ve been programmed since the ‘artificial’ Cold War that all things Russia is evil....watch any old war movie and you’ll see the predictive programming.
Both men know without a shadow of a doubt that the biological weapons treaty was deliberately violated in Ukraine and likely the majority of the remaining +- 200 labs DoD has established around the world, in bed with the CIA and other 3-letter corrupted agencies.
Cornered like rats.
