Putin is effective leader when you consider he got a leftist Soviet bureaucracy from republics that keep it in conflict with Israel and Gulf Arabs for longest period of time. That Israeli vote against Ukraine is not a minor accomplishment when this Lavrov is hardly welcome in Israel.Sure.
I think people grossly overestimate Putin. He was finessed by Merkel & Hollande. He was finessed by Erdogan. His image as a wise and cunning leader is totally unwarranted IMO.

Slava Ukraine!
Don't slander Comrade Trump!Know how Trump operates this is a very bad move. Concessions only embolden him, and he will push for more until there is nothing more to concede.
I think I figured out why Trump has been escalating assault on Zelenskyy.
Trump's plan was:
(1) Sing an agreement between US and Ukraine on $500B minerals. Not free because US would have to invest first.
(2) US will send troops to protect the mineral areas as DMZs.
(3) The result would make de facto US military presence in Ukraine.
(4) Russia would have to come to the negotiation table with something they want/need: US withdrawal.
(5) US would have a better bargain than as-is on the ground today.
Trump sent Vance and Bessent to meet or call Zelenskyy. Vance was at MSC and thinking he had a deal with Zelenskyy. Zelenskyy openly contradicted US narrative, which means he would not buy into Trump's "art of deal" on Ukraine peace process. Trump needs a bigly win and thought he would have one with this Ukraine plan, which Zelenskyy refused to cooperate. Trump is done with Zelenskyy.
Joke or conspiracy aside, there is one factor on the ground: I am fairly certain Trump lacks big bargaining chips vis-a-vis Putin. Any agreement that makes Putin an obvious winner will produce very bad optics for Trump in the eyes of the west. There was one legitimate crack and Zelenskyy trashed it because he could not afford that agreement domestically.
A dilema. A quagmire. A conundrum ...... That was the number one reason Trump wanted to meet Xi ASAP ......
Foreign Ministry: China urges Canada to immediately reverse wrong decision
BEIJING, Feb. 25 (Xinhua) -- (Reporters Ma Zhuoyin and Cao Jiayue)
In response to Canada's announcement of sanctions against Chinese entities, Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said on the 25th: the Canadian side's approach is unreasonable, very wrong, China firmly opposed, has made solemn representations to the Canadian side in this regard.
The day of the regular press conference, a reporter asked: February 24, Canada issued a statement announcing the implementation of sanctions against 76 foreign entities and individuals to Russia to provide military and civilian dual-use items support, including more than 20 Chinese entities, may I ask the Chinese side of this comment?
Lin Jian said that China has always opposed unilateral sanctions that have no basis in international law and are not authorized by the UN Security Council. The Canadian side's sanctions against Chinese entities are unjustified and very wrong, and China firmly opposes them and has made solemn representations to the Canadian side in this regard.
Lin Jian said that China has always maintained an objective and impartial position on the Ukrainian issue, is committed to promoting a political solution to the crisis, never provides lethal weapons to the parties to the conflict, strictly controls the export of dual-use items, and has the most stringent scope of control and measures for the export of drones in the world. Like other countries, China carries out normal economic and trade cooperation with Russia on the basis of equality and mutual benefit, which is reasonable and beyond reproach.
“China urges the Canadian side to immediately revoke the wrong decision. We will take necessary measures to resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises.” Lin Jian said.
