“...former US ambassador to Germany John Kornblum and German journalist Rudiger Lentz claimed that the secret talks are intended to find a way to provide Russia with a “face-saving exit” from the crisis. “

If you consider Russia getting its fists constantly hit with Ukraine’s face losing, I suppose this artful story line of providing Russia with a face saving exit makes sense. If, however, you are sane and can see what is obviously happening there, the face saving is strictly reserved for Ukraine to save the piece that Russia has not taken and for Western Europe to get back to sucking up Russian gas again.

Wonder how much US citizen taxpayer money will now be used to rebuild the country formerly known as Ukraine and how much US citizen taxpayer money (minus the vig for NATO, oligarchs, DerpState, US Congress, the Big Guy, and the M.I.C.) will be used to buy the Russian Federation a completely new weapons wardrobe to replace the tattered shit they started with?

Guessing more than enough to make all accounts paid in full, except for the US citizen taxpayer (of course).
