Putin is going to the land of the Native Americans. I don’t understand why, since he and Trump know that he needs to meet the Israelis to know what is happening in the land of the Native Americans.
My prediction is that Putin will either not go, because some crazy demand is put on him by the Israeli stooges, or he will go and be kidnapped … which will turn him into a national hero in Russia and allow a smooth transition to his chosen successor, or Putin will sit at the table repeating the same red lines he has always had and then will go home, having done nothing except show a readiness to talk … when the Israeli stooges have something worth talking about.
There is absolutely no reason for Putin to give ground one inch. The longer the conflict goes on, the better the Russian position.
At this point, I suspect Putin wants to keep the war going indefinitely. That he wants to keep putting the pressure on the west, and keep putting the pressure on Ukraine, because that is one way to achieve his objectives. Peace is not necessary.
