The issue here as I see it is that Trump has got no inkling of knowledge and understanding what he is dealing with. He is just repeating what his advisors told him. He speaks in two or three words.

I am in complete agreement with your guest that no agreement signed by Trump's people is trust worthy. I will even go further to say that even holds regardless who is the president of the Executive branch. The US cannot be trusted regardless who in power. The English too cannot be trusted.

The consequences of the absence of trust by the rest of the world of the Collective Western States is the dilemma of international community.

I am certain Putin is much clever to be blind-sided into an agreement that is not worth the paper it is written on.

Rachel you raised a vital point about the US wanting and claiming a slice of Ukraine natural assets with its presence in Ukraine as a threat and concern for Russia peace and security. . ..

If you change the conditions of the battlefield landscape after an agreement is achieved, you have change the nature of the agreement. Therefore the agreement is null and void.

As long as they don’t give them to Russia, as they are under their controlled territory!

I enjoy exploring violence and its roots!

DON THE OLD IS A HOLLOW PUPPET WHO IS MOST LIKELY GIVEN PEP TALKS ABOUT HOW GREAT HE THINKS HE IS. daily before opening his flapping gums. its hilarious that his "advisors" aka whisperers tell him he is a capable potus. he is up against a true leader ,putin, and is similar to a chihuahua barking at a bear.

Feb. 20 2025, Meeting with Chief Rabbi of Russia Berel Lazar and President of the Federation of Jewish Communities of Russia Alexander Boroda

Vladimir Putin met with Chief Rabbi of Russia Berel Lazar and President of the Federation of Jewish Communities of Russia Alexander Boroda in the Kremlin.

+--+

Putin expresses a positive attitude toward Jews.

He once warned Arafat that an attack on Israel would be an attack on Russia, since there are a million of his citizens living there.

He told me several times about the Jewish family that shared an apartment with his family while he was growing up in Moscow. It was the parents of the Jewish family, not his own parents, who made sure he got out to school in the mornings.

He considered his Jewish high school wrestling coach to be a father figure to him, and had such good feelings for his Jewish high school German teacher, who showed him special care, that he bought her an apartment in Tel Aviv in 2005. The woman has since passed away, but Putin still owns the apartment.

And, of course, he has close ties to many of Russia’s Jewish oligarchs and to Chief Rabbi Berel Lazar.

Putin was able to use his good relationship with Russia’s Jewish community to boost his country’s economy.
