Putin’s Message to Ukraine, Europe and Trump: I Won’t Back Down
With escalating airstrikes, the Russian leader appears determined to demonstrate that he will dictate the terms for any end to the war.

…After staying largely silent on Ukraine in the weeks after his Aug. 15 summit with President Trump, the Russian leader returned to the subject as he spent hours before the cameras during his trip this month to China and Russia’s Far East. His comments there, taken together with escalating Russia’s airstrikes, looked like a fresh attempt to demonstrate that Russia is determined to dictate the terms for any end to the war.
To Ukraine, Mr. Putin’s message is that he is convinced that he has the upper hand militarily. To Kyiv’s allies in Europe, Mr. Putin’s warning is that they face danger if they follow through on their plans to eventually deploy troops to Ukraine. To Mr. Trump, Mr. Putin is signaling that he will not compromise on his core demands even as he claims that Russia is still ready to make a deal...

Frustrated GOP senators blow steam on Russia: ‘Sick of’ Trump, Vance ‘love affair’ with Putin

Senate Republicans are growing increasingly exasperated over President Trump’s refusal to give them permission to move tough bipartisan sanctions legislation against Russia and countries that buy its oil.
Trump pressed European allies over the weekend to levy harsher sanctions against Russia, but he has dragged his feet on the bipartisan sanctions bill, which Republican senators were hoping to get done in July.
The failure to act is fueling growing disillusionment among some Senate Republicans that Trump is not serious about helping Ukraine…

Trump know sanctions haven’t crumbled Moscow like we hoped. They actually forced the Russians to because more self reliant.
If we’re true to ourselves we’d admit that
Doing secondary sanctions on other nations is the reason why BRICS is a thing.
India never was leaning toward Brics like their now.
Many folks viewed them as iffy member, just because they kept that solid relationship with Washington and didn’t like China.
I won’t be surprised if Qatar start strengthening ties with Brics nations soon.
No way Israel & Washington should’ve attacked any freaking square inch of that nation.
