Remember when Putin admitted that it was a mistake to wait 8 years and engage in those 5D chess shenanigans? You should, I wrote about it recently.

Now another revelation has come to light. Merkel decided to brag about how she used Minsk I and II to bamboozle Russia with promises that Germany never intended to honor and, instead, used the time to arm Ukraine.

Did your “naive” Putin commit suicide after this? Did he resign? Was he overthrown? No? And why not? By the way, I wrote dozens of analyses on this topic, but you will simply ignore them because they just don’t fit your “Four legs (🇷🇺) good, two legs (🇺🇸) bad” narrative.

Merkel reveals the Minsk Agreement was a stalling tactic that allowed the West to militarize Ukraine as an anti-Russian proxy and fortify it for an inevitable war. I’m struggling to find any coverage or analysis of this remarkable confession in English language mainstream media. https://t.co/5oeSvcQinl

Somehow, the naive and good-natured Kremlin never figured out the ruse (lol).

Никола Миковић / Nikola Mikovic @nikola_mikovic

But poor, naive Putin didn’t know that. He was yet again deceived by his dear Western partners. Thus, Putin is a political dilettante. Or maybe not? What if he knew all that, but consciously helped his dear Ukrainian partners to prepare for a large-scale war?

Angela Merkel admits that Minsk II was a time-buying tactic to allow Ukraine to strengthen and prevent more Russian territorial gains in 2014-15 In effect, an attempt to freeze the conflict when Ukraine was militarily unprepared

The Kremlinites are clearly too pure and good for this world. Trusting naively in their “esteemed Western colleagues’” promises only to be duped again and again. You know, the same people who were biting and clawing and poisoning and strangling each other for the last 30 years to rise to the top of the Kremlin hierarchy – yeah, they were simply too naive and trusting in the end.

Lol. LMAO even.
