“that there’s not been more flexibility on the Russian side to bring about an end to this conflict.”
That’s because every idea proposed by the Neocons results in a cease-fire at best, not an “end to this conflict”. A PERFECT example is the following: Kellogg’s idea of letting ‘Putin’ keep what he has and then having the rest of Ukraine join NATO in 10 years, with the implication of restarting the war to get back what ‘Putin’ was allowed to hold on to.
Eventually our side will understand that and either come back with somethings that puts an “end to this conflict”, or stop wasting the time of the Russians.
You don’t understand, BobL - the Russians jammed the signals on one of their own large drones.
This means that The Putin lost the war, and now there is an end to mugasms and Special Socks.
Maybe the new troll for mucus will be The Epstein, and we’ll get 30 Epstein articles a day.
Very reasonable proposition. Its what we did with West Germany.
VS the Russian "proposal" = Ukraine surrenders.
Saying the word neocon endlessly solves everything for some people.
My President doesn’t “waste people’s time”.
It needs to be understood that the western Asiatic mind is deeply suspicious.
If the USA is only willing to talk ceasefire and not long-deal deal, then the Russians will not ‘bite’.
A long-term deal would actually be easier to get as both parties would be more willing to compromise to get the far greater benefit of long-term peace vs. short-term peace.
Putin would very much like to put an end to his foolish and costly war. A mere ceasefire doesn’t allow him to do that.
Eventually our side will understand that and either come back with somethings that puts an “end to this conflict”, or stop wasting the time of the Russians.
In other words, if those silly Ukrainians will just surrender their country to the nice invading Russians with their Kalashnikovs, everything will be just fine.
