Your double standards are quite fascinating. When you post something about the other side, you present it as undeniable fact—and here, you even added your own commentary. Well done, Fish.

The Washington Post:
The Trump administration lifted its pause on military
and intelligence support for Ukraine on Tuesday
after Kyiv endorsed an ambitious U.S. ceasefire proposal
aimed at initiating an end to the three-year war.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/national ... sia-talks/

Now we'll see if the Kremlin accepts the ceasefire terms.
Let me guess: no, it will not.(*) And what will Trump
- whose ego is bigger than the Himalayas - do about it?
We'll see.

(*) Why not?
1. for substantive reasons - the Kremlin will recognize
a possible ceasefire or best of all, an unconditional
surrender of Ukraine, only on its own terms. The Kremlin
has not been preparing for this war for many years
to give up / end its conquest so easily now;
2. for reasons of ambition - how can the Kremlin, aspiring
to the role of a global superpower, accept terms agreed by
the clueless Americans with the Ukrainians it despises?

Main town Sudzha in Kursk has fallen to the Russians.

Meanwhile Ukraine has agreed a ceasefire deal and the US go to Russia next.

Seems odd but Trump is really going for it in spite of the Russians saying constantly they were not interested a short pause, especially when things on the battlefields were going so well for them.

Of course none of us know what's actually in the deal yet.

Ukr minimum demands were, no ceding of land and need military guarantees.

Russian minimum demands were, no NATO for Ukr and ceding of the 4 oblasts to Russia.

One would have to suppose that Ukr has agreed some land loss, no NATO, and security guarantees by US commercial interests (minerals deal).

Ukraine also got continuation of aid though it's the last of the Biden package and Trump has, as yet, made no move to congress for a new package.

Russia will need to agree to less land than they have already taken, if they actually want a ceasefire.



3 possible outcomes:
- Zelensky does his usual trick of pulling out at the last minute.
- Putin decides he's better off getting what he wants on the battlefield.
- Deal agreement.

Which one is the most likely ??


*** Once again western media repeats the Ukraine propaganda that Russia's Kursk gains over the last 3 days have come at a terrible cost in Russian lives.

Again clearly, demonstrably, this is untrue.

Hundreds of videos show Ukraine troops fleeing the battlefields being hunted down by Russian drones and artillery. Except for the first few hours there are no Russian troops in sight at all.

Exactly the same as all the other major battles of the last 2 years.

LOL, Zelensky already walking back on agreements made to the Americans just days ago for a ceasefire deal.

The Ukraine delegation, having told Rubio that Ukraine was willing to cede territory to the Russians, now Zelensky says ''"We are fighting for our independence. Therefore, we will not recognize any occupied territories as Russia's. This is a fact,"

'As for Zelensky's new proclamation that he won't cede territory, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters just after the Ukraine-US talks in Saudi Arabia that discussions with Kiev's delegations included "territorial concessions" as part of a negotiated settlement. The suggestion from the US side is that Ukraine showed openness and willingness on this question. So either the two allies can't get on the same page (which is no surprise), or else Zelensky is trying to tank these negotiation efforts before they ever get off the ground, also as the White House has pressed Kiev to hold new presidential elections.'

Oh dear, the Zelensky 'Kursk card' suddenly disappears just when Zelensky actually needs to play it. What an unfortunate coincidence

And it looks like there is now an agreement for a ceasefire between the Ukrainians and the Americans, but that can't be right can it?


Regardless of what's happening on the battlefield, reading the joint statement from the Saudi negotiations, it looks like the Trump team are following in the footsteps of Biden and the Europeans.


You decide amongst your allies what the Russians need to do for peace on your terms and then present it to Putin as a list of demands (the balls in your court).


As this strategy has failed to work the last 10 times it was tried it's not going to work this time either, which was why Yermak was so keen to sign up to it in spite of the Ukr not wanting a ceasefire deal either. He knows Putin will just say no.


Russia will say the ceasefire must come after the end of negotiations, not before the start of them.


Putin will say there's no point in allowing the US time to rearm it's proxy while pretending to negotiate.


Putin will also say that there is no point in Trump banging on about saving lives. The Russians have shown they are very willing to make sacrifices to bring to a permanent end to what is an existential threat.


Propaganda aside, Russia are losing far fewer men than the Ukrainians and the Ukrainian lack of man power will put an end to the conflict sooner rather than later anyway.


Trump really should have been better advised before embarking down the same pathway that has already failed 10 times previously.

"Russia will say the ceasefire must come after the end of negotiations, not before the start of them."
"Putin will say there's no point in allowing the US time to rearm it's proxy while pretending to negotiate."

Couldn’t agree more. As the saying goes, 'Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.' Only those blinded by propaganda and hysteria would now scream, 'See? Russia doesn’t want peace! They just want to keep killing innocent Ukrainians.'

It’s astonishing how short people’s memories are. The Minsk 1 and Minsk 2 agreements, meant to establish ceasefires, were exploited to further arm Ukraine. Now, the West expects Russia to fall for the same trick again. How delusional—or willfully ignorant does one have to be?

After the Kremlin's refusal to ceasefire, which (refusal) everyone expected,
the USK(*) is imposing sanctions on the purchase of oil from Russia.




(*) the USK = the Kingdom of the United States

How is it that the EU continues to buy oil from an "undemocratic, dictatorial" regime like Russia? I was under the impression that the EU didn’t need anything from Russia.
Perhaps it’s time we start investing in medication for bipolarity
