A burned-out leader of a country cannibalizing its own economy to fuel a war machine. Two allies gone. Empty coffers. The game with the Americans worked for six months — but the painful correction now crushes any illusion that Russia can still win this war.
Putin rejected President Trump’s earlier liberal proposals. Now he faces:
A Ukraine armed to the teeth
A booming European defense industry
Internal decay from within
What lies ahead for Russia may be worse than the collapse of the USSR. It's more like the chaos of 1917 — civil war, breakdown, and years of darkness. Don’t expect China to plug the holes either; the cost would be too high.
And Ukraine? No longer fighting with Soviet leftovers. That 40-year arsenal is nearly gone — wiped out in just 40 months of war.
So the question is no longer if Putin and Russia will fall — but how?$TRUMP
A parallel: 1944 in WWII. The end of the Axis was obvious, but brutal fighting continued. Dictators rarely surrender. They fight to the bitter end.
And now, the real question:
How long will the Russian people continue to follow Putin into inevitable defeat?
