    In India Putin just repeated his stance on 'Novorussiya'.
    So far no reaction from the US...

      No surprise, but then it is not likely anyone is left in Washington other than possibly Marco Rubio who knows what Novorossiya means or even implies.

        Just another bullshit but deeply felt justification. A riddle wrapped in an enigma...

          All part of the twisted mythology making Russia up as the third Rome.

              Plausible autocorrect when you make a mistake trying to type Dr. Phibes.

                Plausible maybe, but what I wrote was deliberate and not without malice.

                  I wonder if Witkoff understands that Putin is just thumbing his nose at the recent US attempts to stymie his cash flow from oil exports:

                  “Russia is a reliable supplier of oil, gas, coal — everything required for the development of India’s energy,” Putin said Friday as the two leaders met for their summit focused on energy, defense and trade.

                  “We are ready to continue uninterrupted shipments of fuel for the fast-growing Indian economy,” the Russian president added.

                  Modi thanked Putin for what he called Russia’s “unwavering commitment toward India,” noting that energy security remained a “strong and important pillar” of the relationship.

                    We’d be hard pressed to do much about shipment to India, and their need is huge. That’s even before the lower transportation costs.

                      I really don’t know how to describe my ill feelings about this:

                      Russia has welcomed US President Donald Trump's new National Security Strategy, calling it "largely consistent" with Moscow's vision.

                        Sounds like an abdication of American leadership in the west.

                        Putin’s advocacy for conservative values is utterly self serving. We need not think he’s committed to them. They just sell domestically and now apparently here.

                          You could say the same about the other guy in the photo too.

                            Neither demagogue can remotely claim ownership to much of anything conservative, let alone the values associated with conservatism.
