Despite the lack of military breakthroughs Putin still talks of Ukraine’s imminent defeat. On what basis does he do so? Latest post considers his theory of victory. (£/free trial) open.substack.com/pub/samf/p/p...?

Putin's theory of victory

The war between Russia and Ukraine is more likely to end with a negotiated ceasefire than with a sweeping military victory though neither seems close.

The drive for rearmament in Europe comes from an ‘extreme centre’ that wants us to believe simultaneously that Russia weak enough to be defeated outright by Ukraine , yet strong enough to pose an invasion threat to EU/nato countries

This is part of a good 2023 Russian joke during the Sweden / Finland accession issue. When God heard that all Russians automatically go to heaven, heaven applied to join NATO. (Brits & Russians do share a certain sense of humour).

More nuclear threats from the Russian propagandists should Ukraine get Tomahawks.

Solovyev has said that "they [the West] will die but we'll go to heaven" at least three times in the past couple of weeks.

How #Zelensky and #Europe partners have maneuvered Trump away from support of #Putin

The key? Flattery and manipulation of Trump ego.

Putin's theory of victory

The war between Russia and Ukraine is more likely to end with a negotiated ceasefire than with a sweeping military victory though neither seems close. Donald Trump’s peace process has petered out but, perhaps flush with the praise he’s getting over Gaza, he might try again.
