On November 6th, Putin Gave the Kremlin Staff the Day off
The word is, he was so happy that he even did a few shots of vodka.
Vladimir Putin isn’t a drinker. It is water whenever we see him sipping champagne at events or downing shots of vodka with his “heroic” killers from the front. Putin is afraid of losing control because then his fear of everything increases. He is also afraid someone will try to poison him.
By noon on November 6th in Moscow, it was obvious that Donald Trump would be the next president. Moscow is eight hours ahead of the U.S. Trump’s victory is one of the most positive and long-awaited developments in Russia’s losing war with Ukraine. Unable to defeat the Ukrainian army on the battlefield and incapable of weakening the Western alliance, Putin needed “one of his own” in the White House. Donald Trump’s victory was comparable to the United States Expeditionary Force joining the French side in World War I. The introduction of so many fresh troops, “the Doughboys,” in 1917 was the blow that convinced the German general’s victory would not be realized. From the moment most of the two million men were in place on the battlefields, it would be months before the bloodiest war the world had seen up to that moment would be over — November 11, 1918.
