#Putin consults more with #Tsar_Peter and #Empress_Catherine about territorial gains than with any living person about real, real life. Can you imagine #Putin without war? Be honest. Right now his focus is on #Ukraine and no one in #Ukraine believes he will ever let our people go.

But he will not let other #European nations go either because he cannot let go of the very idea of war. He may see himself as a #Tsar but in reality he is a slave to war.

Here's a portion of choice rants from Z-military correspondents about the #Marinera tanker

And #Putin is still silent. Just like about the events in #Venezuela and the arrest of his buddy - #Maduro.

The entourage doesn't dare to spoil the #tsar's vacation with bad news. They'll surprise him when he gets back to work.

Ukrainian ex-POWs on Russia:

“For 2 ½ years we had to listen to propaganda about Stalin and Lenin, about how Lenin built Ukraine. The guards listen to Soviet music or modern remixes of Soviet songs. They live in their own ‘red’ 20th century,” he says.

“Russians live in a world of their own and are becoming more and more isolated ... It’s becoming something like North Korea.”

They describe a political culture in which there is a relentless thirst for power and conquest.
