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

Silicon Curtain

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. ---------- SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISER A project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's frontline towns. https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras ---------- NEWS SOURCES: https://www.ukrinform.net/rubric-polytics/3932396-zelensky-putin-seeks-to-escalate-so-that-trump-cant-end-war.html https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/1982490/Trump-Putin-MI6-Europe-Ukraine-war https://www.indiatoday.in/world/story/vladimir-putin-russian-president-donald-trump-us-president-elect-ukraine-assassination-threats-2642092-2024-11-29 https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/russia-ukraine-war-map-live-uk-putin-nuclear-threat-b2656716.html https://www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/putin-sends-chilling-warning-to-trump-over-his-safety-as-he-threatens-kyiv-with-oreshnik-missile-strike-101732841021860.html https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cdj3kmel349t https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1982318/ww3-fears-russia-ukraine-war-latest-vladimir-putin https://kyivindependent.com/putin-threatens-to-target-decision-making-centers-in-kyiv-with-oreshnik-missile/ https://www.newsweek.com/vladimir-putin-nikolai-patrushev-donald-trump-russia-1984360 https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2024/05/22/how-patrushevs-paranoia-consumed-the-kremlin-a85198 https://www.politico.eu/article/russia-putin-ditched-security-chief-nikolai-patrushev-conspiracy/ ---------- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain ---------- TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND: Save Ukraine https://www.saveukraineua.org/ Superhumans - Hospital for war traumas https://superhumans.com/en/ UNBROKEN - Treatment.
