Nothing to say on first 2 paragraphs, just your opinion. As for the last: * Maximalist terms? I don't see any maximalist terms in the 2022 Istambul agreement. It was acutally very reasonable. * Removal of Ukraine sovereignty? Never seen that in any ...

Russia's Lavrov: Work on memorandum leading to ceasefire in Ukraine is at advanced stage

Yes, sure, why buy cheap what you can buy ten times the price elsewhere? European leaders are a bunch of creeps. They think like slaves, act like slaves, are treated like slaves. Of their past "grandeur," only the illusion remains, enough to drive ...

EU Commission to make legal proposal to ban Russian gas and LNG imports by end-2027 - EU...

Totally misleading and misinformative news

Trump floats tougher Russia sanctions, meets Zelenskyy for first time since Oval Office blowup

All too many people think they are just that: observers of facts. Pb is they often don't look at or have all the facts, and they generally cherry-pick the ones that suit their minds. And that leads, more often than not, to false conclusions. (I'm ...

Trump: Think Russia Will Accept Deal That Ukraine, Europe Like; Would Prefer To Answer...

That's not answering the question, or is it? What you say is true, they have an entrepreneurial spirit, etc. I have a theory, but it's only a theory at the moment. Very few historians comment on it: During WWI, the US chose not to intervene with ...

ECB President Lagarde: trade conflict will damage worldwide economy

No, not funny. Sad. He's been asking for the negociation of a European security framework, pretty much since his first term. So, nothing new. Even in december 2021. That was his last attempt to start those discussions with the US who basically told ...

Putin: We Agree To Stop Fighting In Ukraine, But Must Lead To Long Standing Peace

You're overestimating the EU. They have a big mouth, but are helpless. The only thing they can give is money, and even that is coming to an end. Plus, a ceasfire is useless. We need an end, period.

Putin: We Agree To Stop Fighting In Ukraine, But Must Lead To Long Standing Peace

If this, if that, and if, if, if, if...... Lots of ifs in your thinking. I'm convinced you're convinced by your logic, but I find it very unconvincing. I understand very well what you write, and I find it flawed. "If your country (Spain I believe) ...

Zelenskiyy heads to Saudi Arabia ahead of crunch US talks

Wow!

Zelenskiyy heads to Saudi Arabia ahead of crunch US talks

You seem to like profound comments. You're probably siding with the headlines we've been hammered with for 3yrs now saying that Russia has one of the worst armies in the world, and on the other hand, you are convinced that they are a threat to EU ...

Zelenskiyy heads to Saudi Arabia ahead of crunch US talks

TBH, Biden's "mess" resembles King Augeas' stables. No easy fix. Biden=Augeas

Trump doesn’t rule out recession while downplaying business concerns about his tariffs

Never mind

Trump: Russia provides strong indications it is prepared for peace

Do your homework. If your only starting point is wiki, there's nothing I can do for you. I repeat, all your points are false. And I have no time to develop. Instead of wiki, read or watch real historians. It's not because you happen to have a few ...

Trump: Russia provides strong indications it is prepared for peace

sarcasm, a classic way of coping.

Trump: Russia provides strong indications it is prepared for peace

So much nonsense. Everything you say is false, incomplete and distorted. And the other pal who keeps ranting the same nonsense about Crimea is helpless. You should all go back to facts and make up your opinion. Don't just repeat what you hear here ...

Trump: Russia provides strong indications it is prepared for peace

And Russia retook Crimea (who held a referendum back in early 1991, so before the fall of the USSR, which was validated nationwide, including the USSR of Ukr. They were forcefully reannexed by Ukr a couple of years later), I repeat, Russia retook ...

Trump: Russia provides strong indications it is prepared for peace

"My dumb leader", like you know. Hilariously stupid. No point in arguing with people for whom politics is religion.

Trump: Russia provides strong indications it is prepared for peace

Budapest was not a treaty, just a memorandum, which contained more than just the respect of borders, just saying. Go read it. It was replaced by a treaty of friendship, which Ukr pulled out of. Minsk accords were broken by the Ukr govt (by their own ...

Trump: Russia provides strong indications it is prepared for peace

Strange logic. The 12 trillion was a number floated by Zel last year in front of the US senate to boost their support. Some say it's unproven and may be vastly overestimated. There's not even any facility built to extract anything. If peace was ...

Ukraine agrees US minerals deal after Washington drops toughest demands - FT

A memorandum is not a treaty. It's a "memo." This one was followed or "replaced" by a treaty: the "Treaty on Friendship, Cooperation, and Partnership" signed in 1997. Do you a favour, look it up and see who pulled out of it. I won't explain because ...

Trump: Trying to do some economic development deals with Russia. Russia has things we want,...
