for progress, it seems they are keeping Biden out of the loop!!!

and more:

“..The French presidency said Macron’s counterproposals included an engagement from both sides not to take any new military action, the launching of a strategic dialogue and efforts to revive the peace process for Ukraine’s conflict.

It also said an agreement would ensure the withdrawal of around 30,000 Russian soldiers from Belarus at the end of joint military exercises later this month.

The Kremlin insisted it never intended to leave the troops permanently on Belarusian territory.

The West faces a tough task trying to convince a wary Zelensky to accept any compromises.

Kyiv has laid out three “red lines” it vows not to cross—no compromise over Ukraine’s territorial integrity, no direct talks with the separatists and no interference in its foreign policy....”

It’s a charade, cooked up to give Demented Joe a positive media storyline.

They only reason the Europeans are now actually trying diplomacy is because our usurper n chief practically begged Putin to invade, hope to distract the rest of us form the continued destruction or our country.

Now they are forced to deal with war on their doorsteps, thanks again democraps

If Putin was never going to invade and was using it solely as a negotiating tactic, then he has WON if we think all this has stopped an invasion and the negotiating provides him any of the outcomes he was insisting on.

I can see the CNN schmucks now and look ahead to the Asspress ramblings. “Biden’s turnaround is remarkable. He solved the Ukrainian crisis, cured Covid and is now working on cancer, and he lowered gas prices through effective planning around the federal gas tax. With redistricting wins, Democrats should gain fifty seats.”

Maybe Putin moves his armed forces around to accentuate his point, his demand. We in the US have moved our Naval battle groups to strategic locations for the same reasons over the years. - just saying....

Freakin’ hilarious.

Smoke and mirrors “diplomacy” solves a strawman “crisis”

Stop insulting our intelligence, you bozos.

You’re going down. Bigly.

from the article it seems the European leaders are leaving Biden out of the negotiations - merely keeping him partially or fully informed. I suspect they tell Biden just enough and then keep him far away. They know, as we know, Biden screws up everything he touches.

Keeping Biden out of the loop was the first steep in resolving any conflict. The Democrats want a war to distract the American people.

After the disastrous Biden presser with Germany, they had better keep him out of the loop.

Putin has done exactly what he wanted to do. He has broken NATO. Germany, by not immediately agreeing with Biden’s threat to the pipeline, gave a terrific wedge for the eventual breakup.

France and Germany have agreed that the US is not the major player in energy despite the US ramping up supplies of LNG to OUR DETRIMENT in the USA.

Brandon and Blinkin were disasters in the Obama regime and worse now.
