Putin Landslide Victory West Furious; Ukr Lines Collapsing; Rus Captures Villages; Schumer Netanyahu (Alexander Mercouris)

Western pressure against Russia has undoubtedly led to Putin staying in power. Russia has been under attack by the neocon led West for many decades. Putin has acted to protect Russia, although he had long tried to have better relations with the West which were rebuffed. The Russian people understand this truth which is why they continue to support him. Also, Russia, as a country, is slowly improving economically, despite the sanctions, which helps boost support for the Government. 

When it comes to the battlefronts the Ukrainians are building defensive lines further and further back, seemingly in expectation of a withdrawal. Certainly attrition must be playing a role on their ability in holding their present positions.

In the USA Senator Schumer is calling for Netanyahu to step down. This is likely an opportunity for Schumer to have a crack at someone who he does not like politically because Netanyahu once supported Trump? Alexander considers US officials interfering in the politics of other countries, despite the Gaza conflict, to be inappropriate.
