Putin sounds like he wants peace and will do anything to get there. IMHO trusting Trump and the Empire isn't a good idea at all. As you said today's comment with Macron makes one shake his head and wonders if Trump remembers what he told Putin just the other day.

IOW's this makes no sense whatsoever from where I'm sitting, but no one really cares where I'm sitting

it’s important to know how to read Putin, particularly on the economic carrots since Russia knows that’s a Trump weak spot. The last example of cutting defense by 50% is clearly Turkish delight for Putin as Russia has the Empire whipped in the arms race, and as soon as the SMO ends, Russia will be dropping back to about 2.5% of GDP from the current 7%.

What really baffles me is how most of the Judge's pundits, plus many other left leaning people are celebrating as if the war has ended when in fact it's nowhere close to being ended.

Remember that here in amerika everything must happen immediately, anything mid to long term is beyond comprehension

Pundits on both sides have been celebrating the impending end of this war from the moment it started. But this time that belief is based on concrete statements coming from the highest level in the American government.

Wars are unpredictable and so is the American government. You could almost say they go hand in hand. So who knows where from here?

Last month the rogue US regime wanted Russia's head on an ice-pick, this month it's Spin The Wheel and Let's Do a Deal. GTFOOH!

Notice how bereft of any talent Trump's picks are, maybe this Kash Patel, FBI, Indian, is an exception, maybe. In fact, those 3 neo-con stooges Lavrov & Co sat down with in Riyadh, peaked in High School. If those 3 MoFo's ain't on AIPAC's books then David Copperfield took time off from his Vegas gig to do Building 7 on 9/11.

My only piece of advice to VVP is to keep those factory generators churning full, no, warp speed.

I can't thank you enough for sharing this interview, Carl. It's an amazing look into the mind of Vladimir Putin. He is a wonder of a statesman.

But what he said! Taken at face value he is saying peace in Ukraine is possible and that he can work with Mr. Trump to that effect. He's also inviting other governments like the EU and BRICS to get involved. That's a big deal.

Putin's comments regarding the Trump administration in general sounded very positive for Russia.
