We have heard many US generals (retired often), intelligence officers and other ex officials, now able to speak and all have urged the release of UKR from this straightjacket and most lay the blame for Putrid's adventures on western weakness, so we are not alone in being frustrated. I am at a loss to understand this now unless US elections are having an inordinate effect on the lack of backbone. Putrid will now feel even stronger.
The only hope is that they are not saying anything but have gven them the nudge, nudge, wink, wink but I am not counting on it.
