Russian military pioneered fiber optics drones. There are limitations on their use, but they have some advantages and they can't be disabled by electronic means.

The New Drones Boosting Russia's Advances On The Battlefield In Ukraine

Russia's transition to drones directed by fiber-optic cables, which makes jamming ineffective, is giving them an advantage on the battlefield as Kyiv and Moscow gear up for a pivotal stretch of fighting ahead of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's return to office.

Well, the plan was to hit Russia with so many sanctions that Russian oligarchs and government officials will overthrow Putin. This regime change plan was pushed by the media and Russophobs in the U.S. I guess this plan is also out of the window now.

British groomed alcoholic with a guitar, who was never a celebrity in Russia, will not be missed. This is not 1980's, the use of arts by the West, as a soft weapon will not work.

How much do you have to drink to look like that at 58. Google this asshole, there isn't any record of his performances on stage. Late bloomer? Good luck singing and dancing into regime change in Russia. I think these window dives are done to send a message, there are easier and less conspicuous ways to take someone out. It's a big FUCK YOU to Western intelligence services.

Huh! makes you wonder why Putin had him murdered if thats the case, but then, murders gotta murder.

What John Bolton WON'T tell you, is that in 2014, he, and the warmongering uniparty machine overthrew the duly elected government of Ukraine, then installed Zelensky as their puppet

 

[Robin]

Unlocking and exposing that whole disgusting fiasco in Ukraine would be key to putting a shit ton of corrupt politicians in jail.
Apart from abandoning the good people of that recognized nation state.

It started with Western leaders and Western media romancing Gorbachev, taking him for a ride and stabbing him in the back by orchestrating the break up of his country. This led to about a dozen conflicts and wars on post-Soviet territory with and without Russia.

Zelenskyy Rejects Trump’s Demand for $500 Billion in Rare Earth Minerals from Ukraine in Exchange for Continued Military Aid​

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has shot down President Donald Trump’s request for $500 billion in rare earth minerals in exchange for continued military aid.​

“We are going to have all this money in there, and I say: ‘I want it back.’ And I told them that I want the equivalent, like $500 billion worth of rare earth,” Trump said in the interview. “And they have essentially agreed to do that, so at least we don’t feel stupid.”

Volodymyr Zelenskyy: “I will never accept any decisions between the USA and Russia” About Peace in Ukraine​

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy appears on Meet the Press to discuss his position toward ending the conflict with Russia. Within the conversation [04:11], Zelenskyy said, “I will never accept any decisions between the United States and Russia about Ukraine.”
President Zelenskyy represents the interests of the European Union, multinational corporations, various elements of NATO memberships, the World Economic Forum, the CIA division within the U.S. State Dept., western banks and a confab of various western intelligence operations. After that, he represents the interests of Ukrainians. This is why he will not permit elections.

The looming confrontation between President Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy, along with all the aforementioned interests Zelenskyy supports, is going to be something very interesting.
The interview is almost an hour. I am embedding the transcript below; if you are short of time, you can read and review at your leisure.

Well you dont really have to, And on that note, Zelensky signs his own death warrant. If zelensky is in the way for a peace agreement between US and Russia , they will draw straws to see who gets to whack him.

In my opinion, Putin is dragging it out buying time for a spring summer Offensive which should drive the nail in the coffin for Ukraine

Trump is being played here, The Russians have no intention of making a deal unless its on the most favorable grounds to them and meeting their goals. The British are already talking about sending in peace keeping troops which is what The Russians didnt want to begin with So thats not going to help . The Russians will stall, agree, reject, agree stall reject until they are on the Dnipro river. Unless they are willing to launch nukes on Russia and start WW3 , the Russsians are going to dictate how it goes when it goes period.

The French Germans and the Ukrainians have all failed , and the Brits will be next to fail if they start getting froggy , the Russians have 700,000 troops in Ukraine and 1 million in reserve in anticipation of a NATO conflict. Just call it a day.

Sure, try to double cross Trump. I'm sure that will go well.

Played? I doubt it. But it is the beginning of getting to the right place. What real attempts have been done since sitting still and allowing it to take place? “Don’t” worked really well I think. Knowing what one side expects and is willing to do is 50%. I understand Zalinski’s anxiety as well, but I’m guessing the both sitting across from each other right now may be a bad move. Step one, Boss to boss discussion. Step two, the other Boss to Boss discussion. There in begins a dialog. The bodies are stacked already. THAT isn’t working. Noone is making progress. In fact, Russia is having to borrow bodies. A lot of other folks are giving weapons they have trouble replacing. Only a couple small players and one big one benefits from that. The loss of accountability of money and weapons is huge right now. I’m all for coming to a resolution.

The bottom line is that the US is completely in charge here.

We will decide how this ends.

If we cut off Zelensky, then Putin can roll over him sooner or later.

If we decide Putin is done, then he's done.

If we decide to roll him back to the 2014 borders, then we'll roll up the Russian war machine like a cheap rug.

Trump is a smart businessman, he is talking to both sides to determine what is the optimal course of action *for us*.
