Apparently, Trump made Putin an offer he could not refuse.

Now it’s the time to remind you that it’s in Russia’s interest to get a ceasefire (ideally, on most favorable terms), because a ceasefire will legitimize Russia’s territorial gains per se without the need for a peace agreement as it happened in the past. Thus, Russia has been in

I have been preparing my clients for what’s about to come for a few years now. Get yourself a geopolitical strategist or perish as a company if you don’t understand or care what’s at stake.

The big difference is that Russia will continue to make a move on Kyiv, Odesa, etc. Because the end goal is to control the whole of Ukraine. Only if this is not possible, partition will be less acceptable option.

That’s currently the base scenario. No conventional confrontation between US, China and Russia, but a lot of gray-zone warfare under the threshold of kinetic war. In addition, China is applying the “death by thousand cuts approach” to Taiwan instead of predicted military attack.

That’s a good way of putting it

Both visits were known prior to the announcement of 50% tariffs by Trump. Doval pays regular visits to Moscow too.

It’s interesting that you didn’t mention Bulgaria while this country would be much easier and quick prey than the ones you mention.

Trade is like water - it will always find its way.

If Ukraine falls, Bulgaria will be the next due to the geographic location, proximity to one of the key global choke points - Black Sea, and mostly because it represents the core of Russia’s imperial agenda of becoming the “Third Rome” based on the origin of language & Orthodoxy.
