"Putin's Political Judo...Putin anticipated his opponent's next maneuver on the geopolitical mat," while Zelensky is "sabotaging the Americans' efforts."
The Russian media are pretty certain that everything is coming up trumps (haha) right now.

What is up with commentators who cannot accept Russian involvement in Ukraine before and during the Euromaidan protests? It's totally misleading to suggest that Russia only got involved after February 2014, yet we see this language so often.

Putin cannot stop rambling about medieval Russian history. He does it to kids in Russia, he does it to Tucker Carlson, he does it to Trump. What does it mean for serious peace negotiations if the guy has completely lost it?

First Soviet and now Russian propaganda has been telling us Europeans are desperate to move to Moscow for over 100 years.
