Again, I don't think it's as clear cut as you suggest. I think that Zelensky makes decisions as to what he does. That doesn't mean he can't be managed, just that those who manage him need to appeal to what -he- wants.
We dont have to agree on everything.

US-NATO-enabled attacks on Crimea including the Crimean bridge is the continuation of a desperate PR blitz incapable of changing the strategic reality of the ongoing proxy war in Ukraine.As discussed over the past 3+ years it is nearly impossible for Ukraine to "cut off" Crimea even if it permanently destroyed the Crimean Bridge.Remember, Crimea joined Russia in 2014, the bridge was completed in 2018, the land bridge in 2022. For years Russia sustained Crimea without either. The recent drone strike on Russian strategic bombers appears to have only yielded single digit losses.Meanwhile Russia continues advancing along the actual line of contact. Nothing the US/Ukraine has done can stop Russia's advance and the collapse of Ukraine's fighting capacity even if 100% successful.The Crimean Bridge and strategic bombers are not what's fueling Russian advances - manpower, munitions, armor, drones, missiles and rockets are.

Right, so what is the point?
We are watching racist sadistic haters of Russians getting off on hitting Russia, as the World which increasingly hates us watch.

Just finished reading an article from the Voice from Russia site on all of this. The description of the site:

Here's the link to the article:
voicefromrussia.ch
Quoting from the introduction and conclusion below:
**
Operation “Spiderweb”: Ukrainian/NATO Attack on Russia: A new Pearl Harbor? Complete Escalation? Are the Lunatics back? Facts and Analysis.
In this article, we will start by describing the locations of the attacks and the extent of damage. It is war. The reporting on Ukraine’s success and the extent of the damage is contradictory. This article is the result of extensive research by a team of authors from Western, Ukrainian, and Russian sources. We started on Sunday, June 1, 2025, and concluded on Monday, June 2, 2025, evening.
Secondly, we will assess the involvement of Western entities. It is indisputable that Ukraine could not have implemented these attacks without Western intelligence.
Finally, we provide a definitive analysis of the impact these attacks will have on the war in Ukraine, the negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, and the relationship between Russia and the US.
[snip]
Whether President Putin will escalate the conflict by targeting decision centers in Kiev or even NATO-Members would be pure speculation on his Zen-Buddhist and famous patience with the West. We shall not speculate.
The most important question does not concern Moscow, but Washington. President Trump will have a major credibility issue with the Russians. Whether he knew or not is not of great importance for the Russians. The fact, however, that the above-discussed red line was crossed may have a long-term impact on the relationship. Anyway, the obvious heterogene stance towards Russia within the Trump Administration confirms once more to the Russians, that the US cannot be trusted.

Introduction
The Ukrainian attacks deep into Russian territory came as a surprise just one day before the second round of the Istanbul talks between Russian and the Ukrainian delegation.In this article, we will start by describing the locations of the attacks and the extent of damage. It is war. The reporting on Ukraine’s success and the extent of the damage is contradictory. This article is the result of extensive research by a team of authors from Western, Ukrainian, and Russian sources. We started on Sunday, June 1, 2025, and concluded on Monday, June 2, 2025, evening.

Finally, we provide a definitive analysis of the impact these attacks will have on the war in Ukraine, the negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, and the relationship between Russia and the US.

Conclusion
The attack was a tactical success, portraying Ukraine as a force that still has a pulse, but no more. It has no influence on the battlefield, where the Russian progress is accelerating steadily.Whether President Putin will escalate the conflict by targeting decision centers in Kiev or even NATO-Members would be pure speculation on his Zen-Buddhist and famous patience with the West. We shall not speculate.
The most important question does not concern Moscow, but Washington. President Trump will have a major credibility issue with the Russians.

Another interesting article, this one from author John Wight:
consortiumnews.com
Quoting from its introduction and conclusion:
**
Russian President Vladimir Putin now finds himself at a monumental crossroads when it comes to his stewardship of Russia at a time when nuclear Armageddon has never been closer.
Ukraine’s devastatingly successful and audacious strike against Russia’s long-range strategic bomber aircraft stock marks a major inflection point in a conflict that evidences no sign of ending.
But let us not lose sight of the salient fact that Russia is not engaged in a conflict with President Volodymyr Zelensky’s Ukraine. This is instead a conflict pitting the Russian Federation against NATO, with Ukraine a proxy of the latter. And NATO is taking advantage of Putin’s caution.
No consequential conflict has ever been won by half-measures. General William Sherman’s “March to the Sea” arguably did more to break the Confederacy than President Abraham Lincoln’s famed Emancipation Proclamation. The Allies firebombing of Dresden in February 1945 and the Soviets arrival on the outskirts of Berlin on April 25, 1945, did more to break the back of the Germans than Hitler’s suicide nine days later. The Vietnamese won their national liberation with the fully-committed and symbolically important Tet Offensive of 1968 rather than all of the diplomatic machinations that came thereafter.
[snip]
As these words are being written, reports of heavy Russian air and missile strikes against targets across Ukraine are emerging. The famous quote of the French revolutionary thinker and agitator, Louis Antoine de Saint-Just springs to mind: “Those who make revolution halfway only dig their own grave.” Substitute the word “war” for revolution and this is the point at which Putin and the Kremlin have arrived. But how far can Russia go before all-out war with NATO and its potential, dreadful consequences?
Beware of small states, as throughout history it is they who have dragged the world into major conflict. Zelensky, when viewed in this light, knows that Ukraine cannot forever stand against Russia’s superior manpower and mass. He knows that to stand any chance of emerging from this conflict with a result at the end, he must drag the West into direct conflict with Moscow sooner rather than later.
World War III is the only road to victory that lies open to him. For the rest of us, it is the road to hell.

Just finished listening to the following speech from Putin, in response to a question from a reporter:
View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeF_lvjIdN0&ab_channel=RussiaNews
I thought it was quite good. I don't believe I've ever heard Putin so succinctly explain why he decided to start Russia's military operation in Ukraine.

If Putin were the only one saying these things, I too would be skeptical. But he's not. As an example, in regards to the speech I linked to in post #610, former Swiss Intelligence Officer Jacques Baud brought up all his main points in an article he published shortly after Russia's military operation in Ukraine began, backed up with copious amounts of evidence.

Alright, so your first claim is that Putin isn't honest. Do you have any evidence for this claim? As to your second claim, I think we have to define what is meant by "opponents and detractors". If we're talking about people who are trying to topple the Russian government and/or kill him, I'd say that most if not all leaders would naturally try to take out said opponents before they themselves are taken out. If you're talking of simple political dissent, then by all means, provide some evidence for your claim if you can.

So if this highly credentialized man actually believes that Putin didn't poison his detractors, I'd take note. Speaking of credentials, what is your source or sources that Putin -did- poison his detractors? We're not even getting into the fact that "detractors" is a rather vague category.
History shows us Putin is dishonest and a murderer. I do not understand anyone supporting or believing this man.
