putin must withdraw from Ukraine completely BEFORE there can be serious negotiations
So the US is going to withdraw it's military hardware too?
That's what started it all.
Its all part of the plan—This is the way I sees it:
1. Putin talks peace. He tries smiles and lets do a talk all during Russian Christmas and New Years. The fighting slows in the Donbass.
2. Once the hangover from New Years is gone, comes the massive air, artillery, rocket and sabotage attacks hit for 48 hours.
3. Then a three pronged Russian invasion to surround Ukraine Army in Donbass. With air support. Bad fighting.
4. Attack from Belarus towards Kiev to take the capital and force Mr. Z. to relocate his government towards Poland.
5. USA and Poland must chose to enter the fight or give Russia the victory. If we step in “for Humanitarian Reasons” It means WW III—That or talk peace (really Piece of Ukraine).
6. Prediction: No War. All over by March 2023. Then the TRUTH will come out in bits and pieces. Then will start the rebuilding.
7. Big Victory Party in Moscow, Putin dies and gets a nice monument in Red Square. He may even be sainted.
