Silicon Bites #66 - Putin and Patrushev Threaten Trump with Unsubtle Warnings - What do They Expect?

Edition No66 | 01-12-2024 - It is an illusion that Putin wants the war
to end. In fact, he needs the war not to end, to perpetuate his regime.
There are no limits to how many Russians he will sacrifice to save his
own neck, how much blood he will spill to save the 10.5 pints in his own
body. He is quite prepared to burn all of Russia’s economy and
resources, for as long as that keep him in power.

So, the determination of President-elect Donald Trump to achieve a
settlement of the war, any deal in fact, so he can boast to his
supporters that he delivered on campaign promises. As we’ve suggested in
a recent episode, it would seem Putin and Trump are on a collision
course.
