Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson:

Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson: “The West has no strategy. They only have hope. The hope is that these sanctions will make people hate Putin. They have this hope. But Putin is becoming stronger, Putin is becoming more popular. Putin’s popularity is higher than that of Macron, Trudeau, Biden and Scholz combined. The West is separated from reality. It’s stunning.“ Of course, the West has a strategy. It was stated publicly - to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia. They want to do to Russia the same thing that they did earlier to the Soviet Union. They want to multiply Russia by zero. And for this they need an eternal war in Ukraine. But the Russians no longer trust the West and therefore the West has no chance of achieving its goal. Source: Victor vicktop55
