Russia is at war with the Ukraine. By proxy and an agreement between dictator Vladimir Putin and the dictator of North Korea Kim Jon-Un, North Korea is actively taking part on the side of Russia in the war in Ukraine. By virtue of Iran’s supply of drones and other weapons to Russia, Iran is a participant to the war in Ukraine and has sided with Putin’s Russia. Belarus, the most prominent European country to support Russia has more in common with Russia than a mere border. Many troops entering Ukraine came from Belarus and Russia has major trade ties with the country. It is not merely Russia against Ukraine but it is the calculating mind of Putin that has put Russia where it is today.
Many may think that this growing war of brinksmanship and carnage began as a Russian invasion of Ukraine three years ago. It’s not and the diabolical mind of Vladimir Putin is what has led to this world problem. I wrote about Putin over nine years ago and it was apparent then and is apparent today that he is one calculating and brilliant man capable of anything. Much of what he has done led to world leaders being duped into believing that he is sane and plays by the rules of a normal civilized leader.
