I caught the 'who is running the government' and Putin 'it's the same people'. And if Putin says this, the rest of the world know this.

Think more on 'The History Lesson' and historic lands, and all that stuff on Hungary and Poland. And how a break up settlement could 'save face' with NATO claiming a partial victory with land going to Hungary and Poland. And maybe Russia getting Odessa and Kiev as well. And a little left over rump state of Ukraine. ??? (Not suggesting certainties. Only possibilities.)

I don't know anything for sure. But there is a reason why The History Lesson was included. And as I said elsewhere, it's not only the American public being prepared, but what happens has to be acceptable to the people of Russian. And all this with the world being prepared for whatever comes next.

Tuckers really tricky on 'we thought he was filibustering' but now we are convinced that he (Putin) was sincere. Something like that. My! This certainly takes the cake as disclaimer as to inclusion. Kind of takes the breath away!

Rump state is right. Ukraine must be seriously depopulated what with all the young men killed in the war or run off trying to escape getting drafted. And the civilian population also leaving to escape the war consequences. Without young men, no point in the young women staying. Have to move to look for a mate now.

Yes, we forget that we are not the only audience. Putin was sending a message straight to his people.
