      Alexander, you don’t get it. Russia’s advance has stalled around Pokrovsk. Ukraine has had months to fortify its defenses there and beyond. With a steady supply of weapons and the ability to mobilize young men (18-25) if needed, Ukraine can hold out for years. Russia won’t achieve its goals. Putin should agree to a ceasefire now, or Ukraine will grind them down, as the advancing army always suffers greater losses than the defenders.

    38:35 What I don't understand, Alexander, is why you think that the Russians would regard the US as mediators, and accept them as such, when the US are the main antagonist of this war? The Russians don't need a mediator in the US. They would like to negotiate a settlement agreement with the US, and failing that, they would like the US to be as uninvolved as possible in the rest of this conflict.

      The US are not mediators but they are the main sponsors of both UA and NATO. UA is of course nothing without them and can't negotiate for itself without them. Hence, the US has to be directly involved.
      But, ironically, the way to get peace is to have Zelenskiy (not the US) as uninvolved as possible, and then present a US-RU bilateral peace plan to new UA political parties for them to fight an election on the basis that they ratify the plan.
      If the UA civil population didn't vote such a peace-seeking party into power, I would be astonished

IF it is similar to the "leaked " information it will be a non-starter to Russia and Trump/Kellogg will appear humiliated, and open to severe criticism from most of those leaders who wish to see Trump fail in any case. Surely a confidential meeting with Putin first (even with summit "sherpas" paving the way...as it used to be done...remember?) would be more likely to bring progress.

    Though it appears as though USAID is being closed down on the surface, but in actuality it is merely being restructured to exist under the state department.

And let's not be naive, these neoliberal players were not giving any humanitarian or other types of benevolent aid but all bribes to as Alexander is saying,, buy the media in these Target countries and buy local politicians and business... This is the same type of stuff John Perkins was talking about in his book and documentary "confessions of an economic hitman",, except the targets of usaid are much lower in the feeding chain than the national leaders and national oligarchs that Perkins dealt with on a daily basis....

      If the State Dept provides aid, that's fine, because that will be aligned with government priorities and goals. And we can do away with this lie that USAID supports "independent" journalism, which was a key element of the regime change and destabilization infrastructure.

    My understanding of Kellog's argument was that the Biden administration's mistake was to engage in a war of attrition with Russia, that past wars have shown favors them. Kellogg implied that at the outset, Biden should have supported a full-on war with all requested military aid, for a fast victory. I am bothered by Kellogg's persona: his looks, personality and the way he expresses himself, will remind Russians of the detested Anglo-Saxon - a person who does not like them and underestimates them. I agree that the entire Trump approach is simply to freeze the military war until new economic war is adopted. The new security European order the Russians are looking for would require long negotiations - possibly eating up the four years of the administration. Trump has already decided he does not have time for that.

    • @gingerfox7143
      @gingerfox7143 Час назад +1

      Kellog is a military man. Hammer and nail mentality. He is not a skilled and seasoned diplomat. He is very unsuited for the role he is playing. But...America has no diplomats and does not think in a diplomatic way. This is why China has surpassed them as the richest country in the world.

    • @IcemanTheRed
      @IcemanTheRed 11 минут назад

      Freezing the war is one of the most unlikely paths. If the US pushes this, Putin simply keeps on going.
      Once you get Zelenskiy out of the way, I don't think the security order negotiations need to be particularly complicated. And, if Trump is genuinely pulling out, he won't care so much about the details, which will also make discussions easier

    These other sources have been introduced over the years specifically to deflect attention away from US interference, not because US interference actually ended.
    The fact this isn't even being talked about by the administration supposedly dismantling this system is the most obvious indicator a shell game is being played under the guise of reform.

    I think it's obvious to recognised that the hatred of all things Russian has attracted to Ukraine a large foreign mercenary force. Also anti Russian sentiment still prevails in the upper echelons of European political society. Russia needs to turn it's back on Europe until such times that, caught between Trump and hard times, they come crawling cap in hand back to Russia for assistance.
