Most Russians want their government to massively retaliate against Ukraine. From Pepe Escobar at unz.com:
This was the mood in informed Moscow – only a few hours before the renewed Istanbul kabuki on Russia-Ukraine “negotiations”. Three key points.
- The attack on Russian strategic bombers – part of the nuclear triad – was a US-UK joint operation. Especially MI6. The overall tech investment and strategy was provided by this intel combo.
- It’s patently unclear whether Trump is really in charge – or not. This was confirmed to me at night by a top intel source; he added that the Kremlin and the security services were actively investigating all possibilities, especially who issued the final green light.
- Near universal popular consensus: Release the Oreshniks. Plus waves of ballistic missiles.
Predictably, the Istanbul kabuki came and went like a tawdry spectacle, complete with the Ukrainian delegation in military fatigues and Defense Minister Umarov incapable of speaking even mediocre English at a messy press conference after the brief 1h15 meeting. The Turkish Foreign Ministry epically described the kabuki as concluding “not negatively”.
Nothing strategic or politically substantial was discussed: only prisoner exchanges. The mood in Moscow, additionally, was that top Russian negotiator Medinsky should have presented an ultimatum, not a memorandum. It was, predictably, interpreted as an ultimatum by the Beggar of Banderastan; but what Medinsky actually handed out to the Ukrainians was a de facto road map memorandum, in 3 sections, with 2 options for the conditions for a ceasefire, and 31 points, a great deal of them expressed in detail by Moscow for months.
Vlad is the restrained one who loves law, just wait until Ivan the Terrible gets in.
A good stockpile of popcorn is on hand as Vlad won’t take the WWIII bait.
The methodical precision way of killing on the battlefield by RF is almost scary.
How’s that generations of weeding out all masculinity working out for Europastan and the fading banana republic replacements welfare colony FUSA? (honk, honk)

I don’t have a clue about what’s going on. IDK if the Trump/Musk fued is real, IDK if the globalists will blow up the world to destroy Russia, IDK what’s up or down, black or white.
