"... Putin doesn't want to end the war."

Shocker!

The only one who doesn't know that, or doesn't care, is Putin's Poodle DJT.

Putin is getting a little heat at home because his Winter Operation was a total failure... and he's having to enlist 30K Russians a month just to keep the stalemate.

There is a traitor living in the White House. If you think he's afraid of what's in the Epstien files I suspect that when the MAGA idiots learn what Putin has on him those stupid red hats will be symbols of stupidity.Trump shares the guilt for the deaths of thousands of Ukrainians with his owner; Putin.

Ah yes, of course, Trump is being used by the Russian fascists...but make no mistake about it, today's Republican Party is about Trumpianism, in spades. They want to have a pretend democracy, like Russia has, where taxes are cut until they are barely noticed by the oligarchs and the corporate boardrooms where American business is really run, who it is run for.

Intercepted phone calls and messages from senior Russians ridiculing Trump have been shared by the British with the Americans. We have continually shown them intelligence that shows the Russians are lying,' a senior security source revealed. The Russians are privately mocking Trump over his naivety about Putin's intentions. Putin doesn't want to end the war.'
-hearsay garbage deep into the article, which is more about Starmer's incompetence than about DJT/Russia

Russians ridiculing and mocking Trump.

Of course. Russia invades another country and Trump blames the other country for it. Putin's a good guy. Canada, Europe, Denmark, Greenland and NATO are the real enemies.
