Vladimir Putin has no desire to halt Russia’s almost 4-year-old invasion of neighboring Ukraine and thinks he can “outsmart” the United States during talks with Washington about how to end the war, a senior European intelligence official told The Associated Press.
Kaupo Rosin, the head of Estonia’s foreign intelligence service, said Moscow is playing for time in the talks with Washington and “there is absolutely no discussion about how to really cooperate with the U.S. in a meaningful way.”
Rosin, who spoke at an online briefing with reporters ahead of the publication of Estonia’s annual security report on Tuesday, said the findings were based on intelligence his country gathered from “Russian internal discussions.” He did not elaborate on how the information was obtained but said the discussions showed that Russian officials believe that Washington remains Moscow’s “main enemy.”
Outsmarting Trump, Vance, and the rest of their ghouls doesn’t exactly take an advanced degree. A roadside puppet show would do.
Reminds me of the quote its difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on him not understanding it.
Of course he can. The US president is a senile narcissist with the intelligence comparable to his average voter.
IQ of 130
√130
You may need air-quotes around that number. I don’t think Mr Trump consistently presents as a 130 IQ.
Its just a lie ,🤔
I do not think Putin is smarter than Trump. He is dumper actually. Trump was a failed billionaire in New York, while Putin was a KGB apparatchik.
You were wrong more times than the number of sentences.
Tbf, their first four words were 100% correct. Only when omitting the rest, though.
Sloth from the Goonies could outsmart the current administration, let’s be honest.
Hey, you guy!!
I think a clever, malicious child could outsmart the USA nowadays.
Trump was at a pre-teen cognition level priorly, and now the dementia has made this far worse.
you’ve misspelled “toddler”
Also though, the US does not actually support Ukraine. The president doesn’t have the juice to overturn that huge part of foreign policy right now, especially as they are focused on stealing elections and can’t piss off the military they plan on using for martial law. The president is not on a different side than Putin is the thing.
A potato could do it
Wdym 4 years old? They started annexing in 2014 - it is a decade long war already
I think it’s a pretty safe presumption that Putin can outsmart the US at this point.
Pretty sure I could out smart Trump, he’s not known for his intelligence
Differentiate between conscious-strategy vs unconscious-strategy, then:
Hamas’s conscious-strategy wasn’t: it was sheer ignorance, self-delusion, & making-believing, from what is publically-visible.
Their unconscious-strategy was psychopathic, & brilliant:
Sacrifice Palestinians & Palestine in order to get Netanyahu’s “Israel” to display its narcissism/machiavellianism/psychopathy/sadism ( full DarkTetrad ), & then in mere-years, the entire-region would no-longer be DETERRED, because it wouldn’t care what damage they took: annihilating the rampaging-psychopath had then become a NEED.
Comically, their own prophets ( Jeremiah & Isaiah ) identify that when Israel turns against its god, then its god … waits a bit, then TORCHES their establishment.
So, there are 2 of THEIR prophets who identify that Netanyahu’s “Israel” is going to get torched.
Matt 24 also does, in the Christian bible.
They holocausted the Hittites, & others, according to their Deuteronomy. 6 nations explicitly subjected to the final solution, in that book.
No matter: ideological-rabies won’t know any objectivity or correct-reasoning: so that pending annihilation’ll happen, & then the world’ll be rid of a portion of it.
I’m sad/hurting for the real-Jews, however, as this is being done in their name, & they’re too frightened to protest in Israel, now, & have piped-down elsewhere, too…
They’re going to be devastated when Israel gets annihilated.
( there was a substack linked-to from c/world, which identified that the world is now constructing a different narrative, ditching Israel, as it isn’t necessary anymore, & that means that … oh, well, something will happen to it, but everybody/the-world will have turned-away from it, so … too-bad, so-sad… )
So, that’s a taste of how unconscious-strategy can be genius, even when conscious-strategy is … utter trash.
The same is true of Trump:
He got enacted his denaturalization law, but he isn’t leaning heavily into it…
Why not?
Because he’ll use it only once he’s got the Insurrection Act invoked, & he can remove citizenship from all Democrats, at once.
Then they get ICE’d.
Elegant beyond compare, in terms of successful highjackings of entire-countries, but the evidence is right in everybody’s face:
that denaturalization-law & ICE are 2-sides of the SAME coin.
Everybody’s ignoring that.
His commitment to secure Greenland also is genius, as if he snuffs Canada’s EU-lifeline, then his annexation of Canada is MUCH more likely to succeed quickly, right?
Somebody in there is a … the Christian term “satanic” approximately-fits … but I don’t like religious-terminology for such things, & there’s no more-accurate term, unfortunately … genius, in there, who’s knowing EXACTLY how to enforce humankind’s destruction.
Trump, after the tippingpoint, rampaging on the Americas,
EU, abandoned by the Americas, now prey of Putin,
Putin, economically destitute, China makes an offer he cannot refuse: he can rampage EU all he wants, so long as he accommodates China supplanting Russians throughout all Russia’s government…
Putin’ll do it.
Russian blood, Chinese gov’t & industry-mgt in Russia…
That leaves Asia abandoned: China does its own rampaging there.
Everything resolving to 4-regions of consolidation ( Middle-East & Africa being the last in this list ).
It’ll take … less than 1 dozen years for the regional-consolidations to finish.
Then I expect “Russia” & the “US” to … there’s no word which simultaneously means “partly-implode” & “partly detonate” & “fly to pieces”, but that’s roughly what I expect both to do:
Trump’s imperialism requires that he be warring on 3 fronts:
enforcing his annexing of Canada,
enforcing Civil War Part2
enforcing his imperial-expansion throughout the rest of the Americas.
Which means that he’ll be trying too-much.
Also, you may not have noticed, but the top military people are now … yesmen.
oh, yes, the “Trump class battleship” is something they’re all behind, now…
they used to speak of how idiotic that was, as a few missiles can take-out any such thing…
but not anymore.
Anyways, since both Putin & Trump have the same Negative-Sum Game strategy: make ABSOLUTELY certain that when they die, NO “greatness” would EVERY appear among the country they headed: THEY get to be The Final Word.
Same as mass-shooters, that Negative-Sum game thing…
& when people are playing that game, but everybody-else PRETENDS that they aren’t really doing that, then … everybody else is helping them accomplish their strategy.
Unconscious-strategy … can be evil, & can be genius, too.
ESPECIALLY when everybody’s only noticing the red-herrings & distractions, instead of the underlying-currents.
Viki McCabe’s book “Coming to our Senses” might be a good investment, for some, nowadays…
it’s on the difference between seeing the trees, vs seeing the forest…

Now I’m picturing him being so delighted by you pulling a McChicken from behind his ear that he gives you Iowa.
He needs Iowa to win in 2028, make it…North Dakota.
Unfortunately he doesn’t have to outsmart the US. He only has to outsmart Trump.
Oh, no problem, then.
.
🎯
And I’m pretty sure he’s been doing that for a while already.
Good luck outsmarting a very stable genius that passes multiple cognitive tests.
US is not sending their best
They’re sending their criminals and mental patients, all wrapped up in one.
A dry dog turd with stuck on googly eyes could outsmart Trump. He’d get angry when it didn’t fawn over him, and slap a 600% tariff on it, before getting Noem to send ICE to kick, mace, gas, and shoot service dogs in front of the kids at special education schools (then kidnap the kids, too, of course, because ICE likes providing pedophiles with trafficked children).
My cats could outsmart the current administration…
My cat also excels at outsmarting rats.
An orange cat could outsmart this orange president.
An average class of 7 year olds working together could easily outsmart them and be home in time for diner.
this is just cover for when Trump rolls on Ukraine. that way dumb Americans and dumb Europeans blame Putin instead of the “Idiot King”.
