You assume I didn’t click on your link. You assume I have not read similar articles and speeches with the same POV. You know what happens when you assume?. You think if you give me enough links, i will come around to your opinion. Maybe. Maybe not.
It’s a logical fallacy that if I don’t engage you, If I don’t provide information that contradicts yours, then I’m wrong, then I don’t have that information. There are other reasons for me not engaging you on the topic of Ukraine.
It almost seems that there is so much going on that the profound predictive nature of this one is getting obfuscated. We sort of already went through this last year. Maybe the Russians will be handing out loaves of bread to Europeans this winter. Probably no gas, though. That’s alright. Insulation; it’s a thing.
Maybe a multilingual initiative with lots of printing on the plastic bags holding the bread… So much truth to get out there…
Meanwhile the Americans can hand out slices of American cheese!

The war continues to escalate, even as it seems to be petering out.
As regards the information war: I take the laughing stock side of it, but like a bully with a big bat, the NATO is equipped with more than low-grade propaganda. As the lies spill from their lips and their lips lips, and their lips lips lips, and you can imagine the sorts of sounds that are coming out, the bat is circling in the air, and the posture is of one that is ready to swing. If Russia pitches a fast-ball will they strike out?
Or will they change the rules? Ahhh… you forgot about this last option, didn’t you?
I already explained it perfectly. There is an information war that they are losing, and some of us are laughing. Of course, great apes may laugh before they go into battle, too, so to take the term too lightly would be a mistake. Now Niger is on the horizon, and I’m wondering to what degree is the action in Niger a direct result of these SCALP cruise missiles being sent into Ukraine from France? Clearly they are an escalation in the war, and now the war has a new front… in Africa. It must be far more complicated than Niger suddenly being a Putin puppet state. What is most impressive is that Niger and Putin have the truth on their side.
Here we can witness the consequences of the thick aroma from the Western media sources; no doubt saturating the airwaves in Africa as much as anywhere else. Their pile on the carpet; their noses shoved in it, and they lap away as if it is quality food. This is what makes a laughing stock.
Still trying to sort this out. Putin feels that the West is trying to encircle him, and might put bases in Ukraine, so he attacks. That sounds like he is taking the EU and its allies seriously. Ukrainians decide to fight with tractors and drones and some pretty good pilots. Putin is forced to take them seriously. The rest of the world takes them seriously and joins their fight. Russia is in a quagmire like they were the last time their regime collapsed. Still trying to find the “NATO is a laughing stock” part.
NATO did not suggest anything. An official of NATO made a suggestion of a possible settlement, without any hard facts to base this on.
Asked whether it was NATO’s official position that Ukraine should give up land in order to join, Jenssen said: “I’m not saying it has to be exactly like that. But it can be a probable solution.”
> Jenssen was careful to stress NATO’s official line: that it was up to Ukraine to decide how and when to engage with Russia.
But, even so, his comments were swiftly dismissed by a top Ukrainian official as “ridiculous” and an “appalling indulgence of murderers”.
“Trading territory for a NATO umbrella? It is ridiculous,” Ukrainian presidential chief of staff, Mihaylo Podolyak, tweeted.
> Podolyak added: “That means deliberately choosing the defeat of democracy, encouraging a global criminal, preserving the Russian regime, destroying international law, and passing the war on to other generations.”
Did he mention any offers by Russia?
Suppose Zelenskyy says yes, What do you think Russia would do? Use that keen mind of yours to extrapolate the situation where Ukraine pledges to cede territory to Russia in exchange of Russia allowing Ukraine membership in NATO, when Putin has vowed never to allow a NATO country as neighbor.
Best not to make any hasty conclusions without any indication of reciprocation by Putin.
Yes, the ONE and ONLY voice against a CHORUS of critical voices.
You still are trying to lay blame on Ukraine, NATO, and the US, instead of placing blame where it belongs .
The blame for invading Ukraine is Putin’s burden to carry. He needs to pay for his actions, not rewarded.
