Russia has told Ukraine it is ready to halt military operations “in a moment” if Kyiv meets a list of conditions, the Kremlin spokesman said on Monday.
Dmitry Peskov said Moscow was demanding that Ukraine cease military action, change its constitution to enshrine neutrality, acknowledge Crimea as Russian territory, and recognise the separatist republics of Donetsk and Lugansk as independent states. More
But how can the Big Guy make his 10% if there isn’t war?
Ukraine won’t accept any conditions until the primary condition of Hunter on Russia’s oil & gas board is included.
Putin said a week ago that Russia did not intend to occupy Ukraine, yet every armchair journoral has been insisting that the Russian army was shockingly slow, bogged down, taking massive casualties and failing miserably in its objectives. When that narrative no longer was operative, they told us that Russia’s army of occupation would be facing a fierce insurgency, the likes of which has never been seen on the face of the earth. This insurgency, combined with the muscular international sanctions, would turn the Russian people against Putin and bring regime change to Russia.
Now, it’s looking like none of that pipe dream will happen. Instead, here we are with Putin having achieved his military and geographic objectives, ready to force NATO and Ukraine to accept the neutrality Russia demands. And all of the pissant sanctions and symbolic displays of solidarity with Ukraine will soon evaporate into the Spring air. And Germany will renege on its vow to increase its military spending before Summer.
Suck it, NATO and Atlantic Council. You are the textbook definition of Paper Tiger. Your arrogance is infuriating, and your uselessness is embarrassing. You should have stayed in your lane.
From the article:
What would we do as a country with proper leadership (not the current feckless admin that want us destroyed to give us to China) if the major nations (Russia and China) started giving military equipment and weapons to Mexico near our border? Don’t you think we would put an end to that?
I’m not saying that Russia is innocent, but you know that Ukraine is not innocent, either. If Ukraine doesn’t come to the table with Russia, that will prove that they are not being led by a good leader. With the US and British (and who knows who else) hold over Ukraine, I don’t think they have a chance.
It’s all about money, power, money and control. Yes, money twice because Ukraine is mostly about money laundering.
Rope-A-Dope
Thirdtwin! You scooped my “headline” by mere minutes! Great minds, ya know!
Tough guy Lindsey Graham has Putin on the ropes.
Russia’s police action has forced all of the poisonous snakes out of their holes. Some are Nazi, some are mafia, some are communist and all are corrupt and fasist. The dirty, greasy side of the political world is exposed for those that choose to see it and it is horrible. I pray that this cleansing is deep and complete and frees us from this satanic mess.

How can we be freed? By another? From the evil we worship?
We can not wash our hands, that we refuse to bloody.
