Putin is first and foremost cunning. You can tell by looking at his fox eyes. A real fox is far better.
Former Prime Minister Abe was also foolishly tricked into giving up Sakhalin's LNG investment permit, pretending that he might return Japan's Northern Territories.
Putin believes from his background that he can control everything with direct force, phony and terrorism. But Putin can't grasp the minds of the people, because he's no different from the mafia or gangsters. Few people in the world would follow him, except for some stupid, medieval Russians
Very interesting to note that as of this moment all the invasion in Ukraine is the Invasion of the Donbas Peoples Republics by the heterogeneous forces of Kiev.
For eight years they've fought in the trenches to keep Kiev away and they've still not succeeded.
It is interesting how the world has been conned into seeing this situation and believing that the reverse is the truth: that Kiev Ukraine is invaded by Donbas Ukraine.
Similarly every Donbas Ukrainian who owned land or property STILL owns it. His Republic still stands and his rights are respected. The only Donbas Ukrainian who's lost has lost to Kiev who've taken and plundered. Might even have taken his life.
Yet the world - at least the gullible stupid western world - believes somehow that Kiev Ukraine has lost land and property.
The truth is that ALL Ukraine STILL belongs to Ukrainians. The only places with doubtful situations are where Kiev has invaded.
Yet somehow the western world believes Ukrainians have suffered some great loss.
The only great loss they have lost is their integrity and reason. Both surrendered to the USA.
And the lives and health of hundreds of thousands.
Somehow, in this stark reversal of truth and blatant insanity it is believed that further progress down this same track will somehow remedy these losses.
More deaths and injuries will somehow replace land and property that hasn't been taken.
More deaths and injuries will somehow replace the dead and injured to date.
The USA objective is clear and they make no bones about it: Destruction of anyone and anything that could possibly be a threat to their profits. This means principally Russia, then Europe and Ukraine itself is positively inconsequential, merely a handy tool.
The Kiev objective is equally clear and unambiguous and they make no bones about it: conquest and occupation of the Donbas Oblasts and of Crimea, too.
This is a clear civil war of ethnic cleansing.
What a prize for the brave Kiev soldiers to work and fight towards!
They can exterminate all their Ukrainian brethren, hand their lands and property over to the State, meaning the politicians and criminals in Kiev and then disband from the army and go back to their fields and towns and look for a job and work the rest of their lives trying to rebuild and pay off the American loans.
A Kiev Ukrainian would be a fool not to be totally entranced by such a future and we see that few of them are fools, they all subscribe to it totally.
I note only one thing: no one calls for peace. No one sees peace as an answer. No one care for the lives of Ukrainians. Not even Ukrainians. Who knew? They are all poets and dreamers. Willing, keen, eager to die for 'glory' and 'honour' and 'the state'. Die and leave family and friend bereft. How noble. Only right. What a beautiful picture, tearful relatives and friends around the grave of the noble hero who died for 'The State'.
I am crass. Mercenary. Cowardly. Materialistic. Pragmatic. Etc. I would rather live. I would rather my friends and family live. If the State organises things such that thousands of us die and thousands more suffer and property is destroyed everywhere I say time to dispense with the State or leave the State.

Keep your organ music and your tearful funerals.
I'm off.
I wouldn't fit in Kiev Ukraine. Not one bit.
