Thank you, Cathi.
Very interesting video so far, not done watching it yet.
Ritter says Russia was negotiating in earnest to resolve conflict and avoid war back in April. US and others walked away and behaved as though Russia wasn't serious - this was stance of MSM.
But now Blinken wants to negotiate in earnest. Sudden interest in negotiations occurred in the west once Russia committed 1% of their reserve forces (300,000 troops) to the fight.
Here's a good quote:
.....this war ends when Russia decides this war ends and I believe Russia's
decision is going to be governed by demilitarization the total eradication of the Ukrainian Army by the way now
that NATO has over committed and formed it into a NATO military so it's the total elimination previously Russia was
willing to have him stand down cleanse out the NATO and let the Ukrainian Army exist the Ukrainian Army will now be
totally eradicated and Ukrainian government will be totally eradicated and that's the end so that
means Ukraine is done uh so blinken sort of got it right except that the negotiation uh will look less like what
Russia was willing to undergo in Istanbul in April and more like what took place on the USS Missouri and Tokyo
bay um in September of 1945. the unconditional surrender of Ukraine
unconditional surrender that's all it's going to be unconditional surrender people need to get used to that term
because I think sometime in the summer of 2023 Ukraine is going to surrender
unconditionally....."
Wow, that’s a long sentence. Exactly how crazy people talk.
