US special envoy Steve Witkoff called weekend talks in
Florida rCLproductive and constructiverCY as officials from
the US, Europe, and Ukraine worked to align positions.
President Donald Trump pushes for a quick end to the nearly
four-year conflict, but Russia wants to keep seized Ukrainian
land.
. . .
Putin doesn't want the war to end ... he LOVES being
Fearless Leader, someone with the power to send millions
to their deaths without fear of even critique. What an
an ego trip !
Putin wants ALL of Ukraine - and a LOT more - and will
keep threatening and blasting and intruding for as long
as he lives.
Don't get happy, the NEXT Fearless Leader could be WORSE.
Russians are hard-asses, it's bred-in at this point. You
either meet hard-ass with hard-ass or Russians take over
absolutely EVERYTHING and then apply the whips and
firing squads and throw children to wild dogs.
That last one, WAS an olde-tyme Rus entertainment ...
