Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that the United States was wading deeper into the Ukraine conflict and making a mistake by providing Kyiv with long-range ATACMS missiles.
He told a news conference during a visit to China that he had briefed President Xi Jinping “in some detail” about Ukraine. He said “external factors” and “common threats” served only to strengthen Russia-Chinese cooperation.
Doesn’t he have blood cancer or some shit? If so, all he had to do was “retire” to his multiple mansions, and billions in the bank, and be toted as a hero of Russia when he dies. Now, regardless of what he chooses to do, he’s fucked. If he doesn’t find a way to save face, something will eventually remove him from power; his people or his body.
