Lol i don't think Putin cares if anyone recognizes the objective fact that he controls specific territory. These people don't even recognize a man as a man and a woman as a woman
The interesting thing to me was that Scholz brought up the issue of a ceasefire. This obviously indicates he is looking for a way out. If Germany pulls the plug so will the remainder of the EU and without them the US and UK can't hold out alone. Putin could wind up getting what he wants without having to conquer all of Ukraine and at the same time demonstrate to them how they have been used by the West.
What Putin really wants is for the West to back down first.
He threw a challenge to the collective West. If the West backs down, he is now much more closer to being the alpha guy in the world. African countries, the Middle East, Asia will all be looking at this and thinking that the current hegemon is really kind of getting old and decrepit and we don't have to listen to him anymore.
This is why the US is perfectly willing to destroy the EU to try and stop Putin. In fact, way more willing than Putin himself, who wants to save Europe if possible because they have always been the best markets for Russian goods. Russia will only lose long-term from the destruction of the EU while the US has trillions to gain.
What about that warming Russia put out at the beginning. Putin said something like ‘anybody who intervenes will be met with swift action unlike anything ever see ‘ that’s emp talk IMO

Meanwhile Putin is clipping his toenails and mumbling "hmmm" every 2 mins.
A guy at work used to talk to customers and put the phone down his pants. Every little while he'd pull it out and go, "uh-huh".
Was his first name Jeffrey?
