The US and Ukraine have finalized a ‘temporary ceasefire deal’ during the Jeddah talks, which were meant to be a kind of conciliatory round two chance for Ukraine to amend for Zelensky’s faux pas.

    The boxer on the ropes and his trainer deciding to have an extra time-out.
    Surely the other boxer must accept or he is clearly not of good will.

    And the exact same “ball in Russia’s court” tweets LOL
    EU crying about not being taken seriously and demanding respect.
    Here they are again reading what the note says dictated by their US masters. Pathetic clowns

      Lmao even the usually 0% critical about Ukraine Polish media had a little pause over this truly nonsensical pseudodiplomatic farce. Fortunately for them it was a little pause and the script was soon followed up as before with a more pressure in voice.

    I don’t expect the invader to accept a proposal to stop their invasion. Hopefully Trump realizes this soon and surges support to Ukraine to force Russia to stop their invasion.

    Trump immediately announced all previous restrictions on weapons aid and intel sharing to be lifted from Ukraine

    Seems he is half-way there in doing what needs to be done to stop Russia’s invasion.

      They are going backward WITH their weapons and have to kidnap kids and granddads off the streets.
      Tell me genius, how exactly are they going to “stop their invasion”. Are you still living in your 2022 Russia is running out of arms and gas fantasy?
      It will end when the fascists are defeated, orange man or anyone else has no say in this and can’t do shit about that.

      Amazing operation BTW from Russia going 15K in a gaspipe and then destroying and capturing what’s left of the Banderites.
      Somehow you don’t show that in your cringe combat videos.
      No wonder you live in a fantasy world.
      Is the ghost of kiev coming back too?
      🤡

      and surges support to Ukraine to force Russia to stop their invasion.

      How? Ukraine will need troops from additional armies in order to win against Russia.

    This article seems to be based around an assumption that the entire story of what is going on in Ukraine is obvious on its face. What is obvious is that the level of smoke and mirrors employed in this situation is on a generational scale. There are adults who were not alive to witness the last time we witnessed this level of obfuscation, control of the narrative, and use of the age old tactic of distraction

    Besides all of that, this article seems to pick and choose its obvious points and disregard many others

    All of that is to say that this is part of the overall effort, a position which is further supported by the fact that this article is printed by the esteemed simplicius. You know, that renowned author of insightful commentary that we all know so well
