65. We know there is ratfuckery afoot. We just don't yet know the nuances of it.

Putin needs Trump to hand him Ukraine and start pumping US dollars into Russia's economy.
Xi needs Trump to give him cover/permission to invade Taiwan and good trade deals.

Both Russia and China have major oil investments in Venezuela
which has the largest oil reserves in the world. They will want a cut of the oil action.

Is Putin putting some pressure on Trump to make a Ukraine deal?

What talks are going on behind the scenes with Russia, China, US?
