pcr has been repeating his complaint about the putin since early in 2022, and here he goes again;

US Opens a Third Front Against Russia

Paul Craig Roberts

The problem with President Putin is that he never finishes anything. He has let Russia’s conflict with Ukraine, which should have ended in three weeks go on for three years and talks about ending it with negotiations, in which he will again be deceived.

He does nothing while the US tries to overthrow the Georgian government and establish a hostile anti-Russian one.

He never finished clearing Syria of hostile forces.  Consequently, he left  Syria and Russian interests exposed to the current US/Israeli coordinated mercenary attack on Syria, which has overrun Aleppo, Syria’s second largest city, forcing 280,000 Syrians to flee. This is a massive defeat for Syria and Russia. How is it possible that such an obvious thrust was a surprise?  Has the inability to perceive threats become a Russian hallmark?

Will Putin ever understand the consequences of his inaction, his tolerance of endless provocations, of US hegemonic intentions against Russia, Iran, and China?  What factual basis exists for Putin and Lavrov to think that Washington’s hegemonic intention will fade away? Is Russia’s foreign policy based on hope or on reality?.......more.......
