U.S. sees no evidence Russia is interested in ending Ukraine aggression - Blinken

The United States will consider every means to advance diplomacy with Russia if it sees an opening, but at the moment Moscow shows no sign of willingness to engage in meaningful talks, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Friday.

"Every indication is that far from being willing to engage in meaningful diplomacy, President Putin continues to push in the opposite direction," Blinken said at a press conference with his French counterpart Catherine Colonna.

"We consider and will consider every means to advance diplomacy if we see an opening to advance it by whatever means, of course we'll always look at it," he said, but added that Moscow was instead "doubling and tripling down" on its aggression.

Comrade Putin has no interest in peace, unless NATO allows him to rebuild the Soviet Union through conquest with impunity.

The corrupted little beggar Zelensky has no interest in Peace unless Biden and the West allows him.

We shall see most assuredly a sudden change after the coming elections….” down to the last frozen Ukrainian “ is beginning to get very old with the Ukie populace.

My word as a Biden.

Great, another Biden apologist.

Meanwhile in the real world (as opposed to taking Biden regime comments with complete gullibility), the oligarchs on the Potomac have been undermining and scuttling diplomatic efforts at every turn.

If Putin were trying to recreate the USSR you'd have seen plain evidence of it in the first 20 years of his rule. It's laughably obvious that he has other priorities, neocon delusions notwithstanding.

Blinken making such statements only makes things worse (but this is the current administration’s policy)

A lot of Americans don’t know this, but Ukraine is right on Russia’s border. Literally on the opposite side of the globe. And the US govt. is arming Ukraine to kill them, having overthrown the govt. before this one.

(Heads up to you Ukrainians, or citizens of former Ukraine as it may be, every country that has gotten help from the US since WW II winds up totally destroyed.)

As an American, the best advice I can give to foreigners is, never, under any circumstance, follow the advice of Americans. You’ll be sorry.

Not true. There have been TWO presidential elections since February 2014, the most recent in April 2019, when Zelensky was overwhelmingly elected.

And even then, there was NO overthrow in 2014---Comrade Putin's toadie Yanukovych abandoned the presidency in the middle of the night and fled to Russia, after which the Ukrainian parliament removed him from office and held a new election that spring.

Be sure you show images of that Ukrainian military hardware with varying Nazi insignia on them, propaganda peddler......

Hey, do you hear or read why Israel is not sending Ukraine military hardware?

“I was shocked hearing the #lviv oblast was declaring 2019 Stepan #Bandera year”

A series of letters, from the #Polish and #Israeli embassies in #Ukraine protesting the #Zelensky governments decision to pass laws commemorating #Nazis. They were sent only 2 years ago.”

You might want to check your information again, Comrade Cranked.

Israel's Netanyahu says he will 'look into' supplying weapons to Ukraine if elected prime minister, could serve as mediator

Blinkin is merely an element in Biden’s 100% failure guaranteed teem. The entire team has to carpool brain cells in order to reach a two-digit IQ. Complete failure has been and will always be their goal. Thus far, they have met their goal. One could replace Blinkin with a failed vacuum tube and achieve better results.

Putin has to balance the ultra-nationalists who want to reestablish the Soviet Empire against the moderates who want peace and prosperity. If he were to engage in peace talks, he’d face a revolt from his ultra-nationalists. Right now, the other interests in his government have less power than the ultra-nationalists.

Also, Putin has to somehow keep the people from revolting. He has an internal security force which as I recall is about three hundred thousand. He could, theoretically send them to Ukraine as they are well armed, trained and already on duty. But doing so might cause them to overthrow him. Leaving the ultra-nationalists in charge.

Essentially, Putin’s hands are tied by the competing interests. By taking personal control he owns the war. If he retreats or loses, he’s finished.

Zelinsky is similarly tied. The Ukrainian nationalists want all of Ukraine back. This includes Crimea. There are other interests who just want peace at any price. But if Zelinsky wants to stay in power he has to win the war.

The war will stop when one side simply can’t go on. Or, when one side realizes it has been definitively beaten. A negotiated cease fire right now will only allow Russia to rest and recover. Meanwhile, the Ukrainians are rotating their front-line troops out of the fight every three days, according to one source. If so, it will be Russia who folds first.

From what I’ve gathered, it’s the US/NATO that are not interested in discussing peace.

The Military Industrial Complex has no interest in peace.

“...Moscow shows no sign of willingness to engage in meaningful talks, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken...”

And therein lies my problem with this Russia/Ukraine war. Why would Putin engage with the US to end hostilities?? The US has not declared war with Russia. Biden/Blinkin chose to take leadership in a war in which we have no dog. They are burning up US assets and bleeding this nation dry.

No, not like your little pics. Actual evidence of trying to rebuild the USSR would consist of going beyond his stated and consistent goals of protecting Russia and Russians from external threats. Wake me up when he invades Kazakhstan, or Estonia or annexes non-Russian majority areas of Ukraine, for example.

He's not hard to figure out and has been very consistent, but people like you keep lying to justify your delusional warmongering.

If elected.

You live in a basement circulating propaganda based upon “IF” - still does not change that 2019 was the year of Stephan Bandera - still does not change that Israel and Poland sent letters of protest to the Kyiv neo-Nazi influenced regime under ZelenskyyIdiot over their continued support of Nazis’ and Nazism.....
