In my last blog entry (9 July 2025) I wrote that,
"Putin and his 'siloviki' have nowhere to run to.
His current demented bombing of Ukraine's civilians signifies his Russian world crumbling around him.
He now stands quivering at the cusp of lighting the 'nuclear' fuse for WW3." (blog entry: 9 July 2025)
This is exemplified by Rebecca Robinson (left) reporting that,
"Ukraine has warned that Russia has ramped up drone production so significantly that it could launch 1,000 in just one night.
Ukraine has warned that Russia could unelash a staggering 1,000 drones in just one night after launching a record barrage overnight. Moscow has massively intensified its drone production since the war began over three years ago, putting Kyiv and neighbouring countries on high alert for future attacks." (Express: 9 July 2024) (my emphasis)
And the recent onslaught by Putin of swarms of drones dropping bombs on the civilians of Ukraine attests to the rather 'bloodthirsty' nature of Putin. (Remember the Holodomor (1932-1933) of Stalin that killed millions of Ukrainians)
Putin, it would seem, simply CANNOT divest himself of the Soviet propaganda about Russia's so-called 'Great Patriotic War (WW2), which cast Russia as the 'sole' defeater of Nazism during WW2.
Putin is steeped in this Soviet propaganda about the Russian army being the "sole defeaters of the Nazis during WW2".
He has constantly used this Soviet propaganda to JUSTIFY AND TO AMPLIFY his war with Ukraine.
Even in a meeting with his Education Chiefs, Steve Rosenberg (right) (cf: video below) reports that,
"Putin determined to press on despite threat of tougher sanctions.
It wasn't his war cabinet. Putin was meeting his education chiels. But like so many meetings now in the Kremlin, the war came up". (Video below: 9 July 2025) (my emphasis)
Putin simply cannot contemplate ANY defeat in his war with Ukraine, even to the extent of practically tearing down the Russian economy.
As John Varga (right) reports,
"Russian consumers have been hit with a hefty spike in inflation, caused primarily by an increase in charges for utilities. Inflation jumped to a three year high in the first week of July, according to new data.
…
Russian shoppers have been particularly hit hard by spiralling food costs, which has seen prices for some staple items like potatoes skyrocket by a whopping 167%. The rising costs of food has forced the Kremlin to consider re-introducing price controls that were last used during the Soviet Union." (Express: 11 July 2025) (my emphasis)
But it is not only the failing Russian economy and the old Soviet propaganda that is still infecting his mind and his 'demented' actions in his war against Ukraine.
As reported by CBS News,
"Ukraine secures over $12B in pledges from allies to help it rebuild
During a recovery conference in Rome on Thursday, Global leaders pledged to help rebuild Ukraine. The renewed vows of support come as Kyiv faces a new wave of Russian attacks." (Chris Livesay and Caitlin Huey-Burns : CBS News on Yahoo: 11 July 2025) (my emphasis)
Furthermore, as reported by Ciaran McGrath,
"More than 5,000 British-made air defence missiles will be delivered to Ukraine as part of a landmark defence deal worth £283 million, Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner has announced. The agreement – described by ministers as the largest UK export credit agency-backed deal in Ukraine – will be formally signed at the Ukraine Recovery Conference (URC), with Ms Rayner accompanied by Minister for Exports Gareth Thomas." (Express: 10 July 2025) (my emphasis)
"Countries prepared to provide troops for a post-ceasefire force in Ukraine agreed to set up a headquarters in Paris for a rapid deployment after hostilities end in Russia’s war on its neighbor. A U.S. delegation was present for the first time at a meeting of the group Thursday.
Retired Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg (right), U.S. President Donald Trump’s special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, was on hand for the meeting, which took place on the sidelines of the fourth annual conference on Ukraine’s recovery held in Rome." (AP: 11 July 2025) (my emphasis)
And now, as reported by Ciaran McGrath,
"Putin puppet claims Russian soldiers will march into Berlin 'nuclear wasteland'
Kremlin propagandist Vladimir Solovyev offered no evidence for his accusations against Germany or the alleged plans for occupation.
Vladimir Solovyev, the Kremlin’s most notorious state TV host, issued a chilling threat to Germany during a recent broadcast, gloating that Russia would turn Berlin into a “nuclear wasteland” before establishing a permanent garrison there. Solovyev was speaking on Russian state television at a time when tensions with Germany are spiking, with Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Wednesday claiming all diplomatic avenues for a resolution to the Ukraine war have been “exhausted.” (Express: 9 July 2025) (my emphasis)
Vladimir Solovyev is merely exposing the past and present nature of Soviet propaganda, in much the same way as Putin constantly used past Soviet propaganda about WW2 to JUSTIFY AND TO AMPLIFY his war with Ukraine
As his Russian world crumbles around him, Putin has nowhere else to go but to live in the 'fantasy' world of the past Soviet Union.
UPDATE: 11 July 2025: 13:37 GMT
Mallory Moench (left) and Paul Adams (right) have just reported that,
"US President Donald Trump has said he will send weapons, including Patriot air defence systems, for Ukraine via Nato.Trump told NBC News that in a new deal, "we're going to be sending Patriots to Nato, and then Nato will distribute that", adding that Nato would pay for the weapons.
His announcement came after Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke of having a "positive dialogue" with Trump on ensuring that arms arrived on time, particularly air defence systems." (BBC News: 11 July 2025) (my emphasis)
NATO is now becoming directly involved in Putin's war in Ukraine by paying for and sending Patriot air defence systems to Ukraine to defend itself against Putin's 'demented' and 'furious' assault against the citizens of Ukraine.
Furthermore, as reported by Nicole Winfield, Lisa Mascaro and Mary Clare Jalonick,
"The co-sponsors of a new bipartisan U.S. sanctions package targeting Russia briefed European allies and Ukraine on the legislation Thursday, in an effort to show continued resolve to help Kyiv and force Moscow to the negotiating table through what they describe as a “game-changer” bill.
The bill backed by Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham and Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal calls for a 500% tariff on goods imported from countries that continue to buy Russian oil, gas, uranium and other exports — targeting nations like China and India, which account for roughly 70% of Russia’s energy trade and bankroll much of its war effort." (AP: 11 July 2025) (my emphasis)
These developments represent a body-blow to Putin as a result of his bombardment of Ukraine's civilians with hundreds of drones, and missiles.
Will Putin now finally crack and reach out for the 'nuclear' button?
