It was obvious from the get go that this last NATO domino, 300 miles from Moscow, was a hill Putin would die on, if necessary. The only way to expel Russia was with a direct AMERICAN effort. Ukraine realized this early on and was in serious negotiations through the Turkish mediation effort. The dirty corrupt warmongers in DC subverted the process. The longer this continues, the more blood accumulates on the hands of the scum in the White House and Capitol.
You have a good memory.
Yes the Turks did try their best to end this early on.
Maybe they realized how bad the situation would be for the world economy, and Turkey is certainly suffering from poor economic conditions.
But London and Washington didn’t want Turkish peace efforts to be successful.
