11. No way to run a country . . .
Sat May 4, 2024, 09:09 PM
May 2024

Putin's death wish is less and less likely to be shared by the people of Russia.
Only a matter of time before Russia runs out of man power and weapons.

Russia is ready for a rethink and a rebirth, but not while Putin is around.
Or those who enable him.

Who will help rebuild Russia once this futile war is over?
Not the West.
Ukraine will get help from the West in rebuilding, Russia will not.

This has been the traditional Russian strategy for centuries JoseBalow May 2024 #1
