pcr has never been in favor of the putin war moves/strategy; 

 

In his latest Dances with Bears, John Helmer reports Putin’s commitment to Israel, genocide notwithstanding:

President Vladimir Putin declared that Russia and Israel make “a true common family; I can say this without exaggeration. Almost 2 million Russian speakers live in Israel. We consider Israel a Russian-speaking country…Without any exaggeration, I can say with pride that probably there has never been such a high level of relations between Russia and Israel, if, of course, we don’t go back to the very first months or maybe the first couple of years of the state of Israel. The positions of Russia and Israel, the peoples of our countries coincide….”  https://johnhelmer.net/empire-fighting-counting-the-ways-of-doing-it/ 

As Helmer makes clear in his discussion with Rasheed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oh1cdTlyVN4 , there is no reciprocity in Israel’s attitude toward Russia, which is hostile. Just the other day Israel, at Zelensky’s request, placed an embargo on Russian delivery of grain to Israel on the suspicion that some of the grain may have been grown on Russian conquered Ukrainian land in Donbas.

Putin did absolutely nothing to deter the Israeli-American attack on Iran.  He asked only that Israel not attack the Iranian nuclear reactor where Russians were working.  Clearly, Putin did not want any Russian deaths that could force him into supporting Iran’s ability to withstand the Israeli-American attack.

Putin, like Trump, seems to be more under the thumb of the Zionist state of Israel than under the thumb of  domestic citizens.  Everything is for Israel. Nothing for Americans or Russians............more............
