Putin’s 3 day ceasefire, which begins in 8 days, is unrelated to the Ukrainian negotiations. The ceasefire is in memory of the 80th Anniversary of Russia’s defeat of Germany in World War II, a defeat in which the US, Britain, and France played a minor role as the casualty lists indicate. Russia bore the brunt of WW II. Had it not been for Russia, the Third Reich would still be ruling Germany. Some think it actually is as Germany actively persecutes truth-tellers and critics of Israel’s genocide of the Palestinians. Indeed, in Germany you cannot even criticize the Covid “vaccine” without becoming a political prisoner like Reiner Fuellmich.
The whore Western media and the dumbshit Western “Russian experts” have failed to note that when Foreign Minister Lavrov declares Russia’s readiness for peace talks, he defines the purpose of the peace talks to be to “eliminate the root causes of the conflict.”
The root cause of the conflict is not Russia’s intervention. The root cause of the conflict is, as the New York Times article admits, Washington’s effort to initiate a conflict that would, or could, destabilize Russia.
It was Washington, not Moscow, that overthrew the democratically elected Ukrainian government that was in a peaceful and mutually beneficial relationship with Russia while Putin sat on his hands.
It was Washington that armed and trained an Ukrainian army to retake the two breakaway Donbas republics, while using the Minsk Agreement to deceive Moscow that a solution, which did not require Russian intervention, had been achieved. Both the President of France and the Chancellor of Germany have stated publicly that the Minsk Agreement was used to deceive Putin and leave Russia unprepared for the planned American led Ukrainian invasion of Donbas.
It was Putin and Lavrov who pleaded with US Secretary of State Blinken, NATO, and the EU during December 2021-February 2022 for a mutual security agreement. The Russians were given the cold shoulder and were forced to intervene in order to prevent the massacre of the Russian peoples, who had unanimously voted to rejoin Russia from which they had been torn by former Soviet rulers and by the US dismembering the Soviet Union.
Putin’s Ukraine conflict has gone on longer than it took Stalin’s Red Army to drive the highly disciplined Wehrmacht out of thousands of miles of Russia and Eastern Europe and to enter the streets of Berlin. I am not alone in being unable to understand why Putin proceeded with a conflict that was ever-widening, drawing in the US, NATO, the EU and ever more Western weapon systems that “would never to supplied to Ukraine,” culminating in Western supplied long range missiles that now strike deep into Russia.
A possible explanation is that Putin highly values, as does much of his constituency, peace with the West and inclusion in the West. The Russian heart is not really in BRICS. Therefore, Putin has been using the intervention in Ukraine in the hopes that a Great Power Agreement, a New Yalta, can come out of it.
What Putin’s hopes overlook is the hegemonic doctrine of American Foreign Policy. This doctrine as stated by Undersecretary of Defense Wolfowitz in 1991 has never been repudiated by any American president, including Trump. The doctrine declares that the principle goal of US foreign policy is hegemony over the world. As this remains Washington’s policy, peace with Russia, China, and Iran, can only be achieved by their surrender or their defeat.
Is Putin prepared to surrender? Is China prepared to surrender? Is Iran prepared to surrender? Unless they are, war, not peace, is our future.
It is only after we hear Trump’s and Congress’ repudiation of American hegemony can we have any hope of peace.
We await this repudiation of American hegemony.

“…. the Third Reich would still be ruling Germany. Some think it actually is as Germany actively persecutes truth-tellers and critics of Israel’s genocide of the Palestinians.”
What sort of rubbish is this? The Third Reich knew full well the parasitic nature of organised jews. Methinks Roberts is a crypto!!!!
It was Washington for sure — fully controlled by jews and still is!
putin took it slow and gentle with ukraine as he wanted it back with russia
he did not want to use big weapons, this would give the warmongers a reason to attack rusia
When communism collapsed, they went after the jewish mafia
who ran to the UK and allowed in by tony blair with all their crimes to the UK
Bryan Solomons said on radio Rothschild ordered blair to take them in
Russia is playing the long game as its called
a recent poll in the UK of their favourite politician
revealed the shock that the people voted for putin
Putin didn’t and doesn’t obliterate the jewkraine because it would give the jew exactly what it wants – WW3. He’s doing exactly what he said for exactly the reasons he said, which is much harder. “Shock and awe” is easy by comparison.
Much of this is true, even if PCR uses misleading terminology, and ignores the CCCs power, which extends over Nazi Amerika.
I also believe Putin the Weak still wants a comprehensive deal, like Yalta, but history rhymes, and that won’t happen.
In the distant past, there were things to bargain on, compromises, but everything has changed, we’re in an ‘All or nothing’ game, and while Russia is a very hard nut to crack, Russia finds itself between a rock & a hard place, between one fading power, Nazi Amerika, and rising power, China.
I think PCR is wrong to say Russias heart isn’t in the BRICS. Putin recently stated that Nazi sanctions will never be lifted, and that Russia needed to be more self sufficient, and find new trading partners in the BRICS/NFW.
We know the Nazis are trying to grind Russia down in UKraine, and so far it’s failing big time, but this is a two way street. Russia is also grinding down NATO, and this has been much more successful. NATO is fractured. Nazi UK doesn’t talk in terms of NATO. They talk in terms of the ‘willing’, or the stupid.
Apart from grinding down NATO, which is also UKraine, they have preserved so many Russian soldiers lives. The Russians have stopped recruiting, because high salaries for new recruits who might never see action, looks bad on those who actually fought in the war, but there’s no shartage of willing Russian sheeple.
The truth. Russia knows the UKrainian theater is just a battle, and the main war has yet to start.
As PCR points out very clearly, this is to the death, all or nothing. The CCCs and Wall Street mobs will either run the world, or they will die trying. As I’ve been saying. There’s no middle ground. Okay, we might have a pause here and there, like rests in a boxing match, but essentially, Russia is between this titanic struggle, and that’s quite apt, because someone, some faction, is going sink.
This is why I’ve said for a long, long time, there are no more good times. No one alive today will ever look at the world view, and say we’re in good times. It’s not going to happen.
More than 25yrs ago, they started the bubble for 2008, then bioweapon Covid in 2019. There maybe intermissions, pauses, but the trend is escalation, because China is already ahead of Nazi Amerika. The Nazis, led by Nazi UK, under Donald Hitler, then Biden, made a monumental error with the UKrainian gambit. Small minded MI6, and should have focused on China. They are very late to the Chinese game. The Chinese have been banging goals into an open net, and the Nazi can’t even cover the Russian goal.
Russia couldn’t have disarmed–emasculated–NATO and its various national militaries in just a few weeks. That takes time as does making sure people know what’s really going on. If they’d soon disarmed the west but people didn’t understand why, it’s probable our leaders would claim people are calling for rearmament–fcuk luxuries like food and warmth–and they’d put 100% into whipping them up into a fighting frenzy.
While it would be unlikely to change anything on the ground it would be a propaganda coup for western warmongers, and when their lies swamp the truth that’s always a win for them even if it is their only win.
If you want what another country has, fair trade is a better answer than war. You make friends that way, not enemies. Obviously, we should end the Wolfowitz 1991 doctrine and re-establish political sanity.
The US is a Bullshitocracy and Trumpenstein is The BLOTUS:
The BIGGEST LIAR OF THE UNITED STATES
The doctrine of Full Spectrum Dominance was publicized by the US in 2001. The world was put on notice. Only well directed violence will stop these sick bastards.
It’s an SMO .. Russia can destroy Ukraine in no time. What you see is quantum computed cgi, it looks like a replay of WWII.
Because it is not total war. It is. SMO . With a relatively small campaign force . Compared to the red army’s dozons of whole divisions with an ideological bent to spread Marxism’ far and wide Europe itself smoldering after years of war and fluid borders and occupied nations etc . Apples and Pears Robert you Americans just don’t get that the everybody else in the world do not think like you
Putin, dont liste to the western scum !
GO FOR THE POLISH BORDER ! its all yours .
@SMOKEY LONESOM

covid, Ukrain, Gaza
natzis ? natzis ?
have i missed something
“Had it not been for Russia, the Third Reich would still be ruling Germany.” And we would all be better for it and supports the belief that Russia should have been incinerated into smouldering oblivion in the early 40s. But, alas, the dangerously stupid and suicidally gullible “Allies” were too-easily conned into fighting for The. Wrong. F*cking. Side. in that shit-storm engineered by frothingly maniacal Jews.
Chabad Vlad Pukin’ has been taking it reeeaaal slow on the Jewkraine front because that was in the script he was handed by his drooling, reeking Chabadnik rabbis. And Chabad Vlad, just like the “leaders” in the rapidly degenerating west, is going to do exactly as told by Shlomo, Shmuley, and the Tribe from Way Down Under….or else those photos and videos of them raping children and guzzling adrenachrome squeezed from their victims get put into general circulation.
Paul Wolfowitz….sweet weeping Jesus on the Cross…that criminally insane sawed-off shit-stain should have been viciously beaten then gutted and strangled with his own intestines around, say, 1975. If his wretched mother is still alive, she should be flogged to death for birthing such an evil little demon.
Bertrand Cole ?
take no notice this guy carl jones is a mental case
he thinks we are still fighting ww 2
with his stupid natzis
ignore him, we do
