For Putin, an outbreak of peace means certain death. Like any gangster, he has only one hope of survival, writes WILLIAM BROWDER

More than a million Russians were killed or seriously injured in Ukrainian war areas. But there is a man who owes his life to the massacres.

For Vladimir Putin, peace epidemic means certain death in an international prison cell as an assassination, overthrow and execution or war criminal.

The only reliable hope of survival in the state of Gangster, created by the Russian President himself, is to extend the ‘private military operation’ in Ukraine or to gain attention to other former customer states and other victims.

As a result, survival was Putin’s goal of launching the invasion in 2022.

In inexhaustible nonsense about history, the Russian President makes a great claim that Ukraine is part of the Russian empire – not only in the eastern regions of Donbas, Donetsk and the Crimea.

Putin claims to be the mission of bringing the old regions together while rejecting the chance to join the NATO alliance with the West.

In terms of Russian interests, they may seem logical as a logic for war.

But if the rationalities can change, Putin cannot do real, cynical motives.

The strategy of adhesion to power – and therefore to life – comes from Niccolo Machiavelli, the philosopher Niccolo Machiavelli.

Volodymyr Zelensky met a warm encounter when he met Donald Trump in February

US President Donald Trump met with Russian President Vladimir Putin, while he met on Friday for negotiations about Ukraine in his common base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, Elmendorf-Richardson.

War has taught, is an important branch of power. And the psychopathic Putin can use this arm in particular, because millions of lives are willing to sacrifice their own interests – the Russians, Ukrainians, Europeans and even Americans.

Europe is lucky to prove that Ukraine is such a bad and brave enemy. If the Ukrainians had not fought a brutal enemy many more times more times, the Putin would turn the war machine into another target – probably Poland.

The war is the reason why Russia has been ruler for more than 25 years. If he could not create distracting elements, he would be booted out of the office a long time ago.

Living standards are gradually eroded to the point that many people were worse even under the Soviet government.

Russia’s economy stopped, inflation rose to 10 percent, and even the country’s too much earned energy revenues decreased.

Corruption is a very weak word to describe the who replaces the communist bureaucracy. Russia’s final mafia state and Putin his baptism father.

I have a good reason to know. Since 2005, when I rejected the attempt to Russia, and Putin put a list of naked proposals to seize the control of my asset management company and to steal a tax of $ 230 million paid to the Russian government.

Vladimir Putin was blushed because he was bombed with the questions of the Free Press, asking him if he would ‘stop killing civilians’ during the conference with Donald Trump.

Four years later, my lawyer and my close friend Sergei Magnitsky were beaten in a Russian isolation cell to reveal this broad fraud.

The murder by the state has become so widespread in Russia that the death of an important figure is widely assassinated – typically, car bombs, poisoning or falling from a high window.

Putin is paranoid about personal security and for a good reason.

As instability increases, anti -government activists will be aware of the threats from foreign ‘enemies’ and even the power of the powerful hungry authorities in their tent.

One way or another, he will be in a coffin when he leaves the Kremlin.

Like any Gangster, Putin’s primary instinct is to survive. After that, money comes.

When he flew to Alaska for the so -called peace talks last Friday, he had two real goals: avoiding financial penalties; And he rebuilds himself as a respected international power broker. It was successful in both of these goals.

In fact, Donald Trump was already behind before touching the US presidential jets Anchorage. He celebrated himself in a corner, repeatedly boasting that he would end the war within 24 hours before last year’s elections.

When he proved to be impossible, Trump published a series of ultimatums on tariffs, sanctions and taxes if he did not accept a ceasefire. Each of these final delivery dates was fruitless.

Trump had lost most of his leverage when he stopped sending military aid to Ukraine.

And when Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky was bullying in front of the cameras in the White House in February, Putin knew he was Carte Blanche to continue the war indefinitely.

However, this did not guarantee that the delegation of Kremlin could safely thumbs their noses under Trump on American territory.

If the US president chooses, Russia has the power to injure the economy. This cannot be made with direct measures. However, indirectly, Trump can use financial apocalypse weapons.

By threatening China, India and Brazil with high tariffs, it can make it impossible for Moscow’s large trade partners to continue to do business with Russian companies. And no one would get the oil and gas or not send it to him, Putin would end quickly.

The summit of Friday was an opportunity for the Kremlin to ensure that the disaster did not occur. Putin gave Trump everything he needed – starting with praise. Trump said the war would never happen if he had been president in 2022.

Every gangster needs a falling daughter and former President Joe Biden fits this bill.

Then Putin promised that his target was peace.

The only obstacle said that Ukraine is a warrior government. This has been his disturbing position from the very beginning: If Ukrainians acknowledge that there is no right to independence, Russia can rule their countries without the need for violence.

Finally, and behind the scenes, Trump will be fully rewarded.

For example, we do not know which special agreements may be made under the table for the mineral deck of Ukraine.

Putin has to continue, ignoring the screams from the engine, reaping everyone on his way. Depicted on August 16

However, we know that Trump is a man who sees other countries as ‘real estate’ and is waiting to be exploited.

In addition, when the Qatar royal family registered with them in a business partnership, we know that he accepted a luxurious Boeing 747 with his estimated $ 400 million with gold walls and furniture.

We don’t know if Putin has found ways to overcome this.

However, even though it was ruled, Russia avoided these Armagedon tariffs.

Nevertheless, this was only half of Putin’s agenda in Alaska. He also intends to show his legitimacy as a world leader.

As soon as his plane landed, he could be arrested as a war criminal. Right now, it must be the place where crimes deserve – wearing an orange jumpsuit in a cage in the Gulf of Guantanamo.

But this didn’t have the slightest risk. Instead, he showed his strength, reminded the world that it was ‘untouchable’, but in fact – that could be.

Because Russia is a loaded juggernaut with a load that grows a steep hill that never ends.

The driver doesn’t dare to take his foot from the accelerator, because he will stop in a deadly way and drift out of his driving seat.

Putin has to continue, ignoring the screams from the engine, reaping everyone on his way.

And he will.
