Niall returns to
NewsReal to share some impressions he gleaned of life in Russia, where he recently spent time in Moscow and St Petersburg. Some of what Western media tells you about Russia is accurate, much of what it tells you misses nuances, and most of what it tells you is pure fiction. The short of it is: Russia is booming, and Russians, generally unaffected by the war, and mostly supportive of it, are prospering and getting on with living life.
In the meantime, of course, Putin flew to Alaska, formerly 'Russian America', to meet Trump on US soil for the first time, in what was clearly a surprise move instigated by Trump, the quirky American president who continues to confound everyone with his 'deadlines'. It's clear the urgency to end the war is coming from the West, not Russia, which can continue doing this slow-burn proxy war in Ukraine for years to come if need be, so what is compelling the US to wrap it up ASAP?
Is it incipient realization that the US will look to the whole world like it lost to Russia if Ukraine continues losing territory and its puppet regime collapses? Is it to free up military resources for the next 'military theater', perhaps a return to 'smacking Iran' for Israel? Or is it simply that Trump really,
really wants that Nobel Peace Prize?!
