The war between Russia and Ukraine is set to grind on as a peace conference packs little punch

Russia and Ukraine are set to remain locked in battle for the foreseeable future after an international gathering billed as a first step toward peace delivered no eye-catching diplomatic breakthrough that might suggest a coming end to Europe’s biggest conflict since World War II.

The absence of Russia and China from the two-day conference in Switzerland on the weekend and the decision by some key countries — including India, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and Mexico — not to sign the meeting’s final document Sunday meant that the gathering had little to show beyond some goodwill and pledges to keep working for peace after more than two years of war.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Monday that the conference’s outcome was “close to zero.”

The fact that India, Saudi Arabia, and Mexico have not signed on to this means they are very aware that the Deep state Globohomo’s are running the show and putting pressure on Ukraine to enact the worldwide homosexual agenda.

Just recently, the capital of Ukraine have scheduled “pride” parades. The parades where all the filthy degenerate sick twisted freaks come out to celebrate their perversion.

Zelinskyy needed to do this in exchange for military aid from the Biden regime and the Euro trash countries. Russia is the only country willing to stop this depraved homo movement.

Just recently, the capital of Ukraine have scheduled “pride” parades.

Whose permit was denied by the Ukraine City Council and condemned by the Ukrainian Church.

Organizers had faced difficulties in organizing the rally. City authorities turned down a petition to allow it to be held at a metro station, and it was condemned by one of the main branches of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.

“This action is part of a left-wing radical political movement and is aimed at imposing a political ideology, and also aimed at destroying the institution of the family and weakening Ukrainian society in the conditions of war and repelling Russian aggression,” the church said in a statement.

The “peace” conference was an obvious sham. Mainly, participants were deciding how to steal yet more money from the populace to grift. I believe biden’s several hundred million dollar moveable dock that fell apart was more successful than this so-called “peace” conference.

Exactly, a “ Peace” agreement without Russia’s involvement? Insanity, which explains the collective West’s “ leadership”, desperation.

They need to remember the Turkish Peace talks that were scuttled by Boris Johnson and England….they already blew at least two chances.

Best they go to China or Saudi Arabia as they are now the world’s leading negotiators…..the U.S. has lost its way, and is tumbling into irrelevance.

The US’s insistence on war, war, war has left the US a bumbling, incompetent embarrassment. The world simply can not trust the US anymore, I certainly don’t…..a laughing stock.

The sources of quotes can be instructive, when not included in comments. The quote: "This action is part of a left-wing radical political movement and is aimed at imposing a political ideology...."

Three sources, all reprints attributed to AP, have other information as well, and are:

"Staff from the U.S. Embassy and several European embassies attended the pride rally."

LGBTQ Ukrainian soldiers rally for legal rights, hoping their service is changing attitudes PBS, 16 June 2024 (6:43 PM EDT)

And again, "Staff from the US Embassy and several European embassies attended the Pride rally."

LGBT soldiers in Ukraine rally for legal rights Breaking News, reprinting Associated Press, 16 June 2024 ( 13:06 PM )

"Representatives from the US Embassy and various European embassies attended the pride rally."

Times of India, 16 June 2024 ( 16:54 IST )

Thus, "a left-wing radical political movement and is aimed at imposing a political ideology" is in part "Staff from the U.S. Embassy and several European embassies...." Queer, isn't it?

The working theory is that this so-called ‘peace conference’ was only to try to convince the world that Zelensky was still the leader of Ukraine - and it failed at that, given that Biden and China didn’t even bother attending.

If Trump is not elected in November, this war could go on for years until there are no Ukrainians left. Meanwhile, Biden and Blinken keep pushing the idea that peace negotiations will not be conducted with Russia until all Russian forces are expelled from Ukraine, including Crimea. Escalation is also a distinct possibility, given Blinken’s recent rhetoric.

The current administration is. This November, we’ll be back. Don’t ever underestimate the American people. We are peace-loving and slow to anger but piss us off enough and you’ll find out. Ask King George, Santa Anna, Jefferson Davis, Kaiser Wilhelm, Hitler, Mussolini, and Tojo.

🇮🇹 Giorgia Meloni: Putin's ceasefire offer is propaganda. If Russia doesn't agree, we will make it surrender.

Should be interesting.

The Zelenskyy peace plan was simply Russia withdraws and surrenders and we have peace. That would be impossible to force down Russia’s throat—even if Putin was gone. It was a PR stunt to say—”see we tried peace, Now we are forced to do WW III and use Nukes to rid the world of Russia.” Another step to World War they believe we can win in a few weeks of fighting.
