Ceasfire?
The reaction to the ceasefire is: Putin politely told the United States basically go shove it we want to talk we're interested in ceasefire, but we've had conditions and those conditions were laid out in June of 2024. I'd written and publish them extensively at my website sun2c. The first first requirement is that Ukraine has to withdraw all forces from Russian territory, and the Russians consider zapar IA heran luhans and detet as Russian territory. That's the first step. They have to renounce going into NATO. They have to stop attacking people making it illegal to speak Russian. They're going to have a new election because Vomir Zelinsky is an illegal president. Those are the conditions that Putin laid out almost a year ago, in June of 2024. Since then every single senior official in the Russian government has reiterated those positions.
They [Russians] don't take Europe seriously anymore, or as somebody that they need to engage, because what does Europe bring to the table other than problems. They don't bring natural resources. They don't bring Financial wealth. They don't bring military power.
I hope that Europe wises up and realizes that is a losing proposition. Just get this war off the table so that we can get back to some semblance of normality and lower if not remove the chance of any kind of clash between the west and the East that everyone will lose. f that happens to include the Russians to include the Europeans everybody will lose if we go down that path.
