Agree, but remember, it could have been prevented: Minsk 2014-2015, presuming, of course, that those agreements had been honored, but Angela Merkel admitted otherwise.
Regarding cost, the cost of all that "aid to Ukraine," aka US and other Western defense contractors, was more important.
The Minsk agreements involved the US, Britain and the Europeans and was a scam from the get go.
The March '22 negotiations were between Russia and Ukraine,with no outside interference, when it seems Zelinski realised that he might have bitten off more that he could chew and was not sure of the Empires' support.
'Course, the axis of evil could have scuttled any agreement after it was ratified, instead of jumping in straight away.
:) Not to my knowledge, but he could certainly be regarded as a veritable poster-boy for what name-calling indicates about character and personality.
I should have noted the evidence law principle of res ipsa loquitur: "the thing itself speaks," or "the thing speaks for itself," and my mother's advice, when I was called names and bullied, "Consider the source."
Who knew you were such an optimist, Scott? By the way, in the translation of President Putin’s remarks about Trump’s “peace council” that I heard were some strong words about Palestinian rights as a condition for the $1 billion Russian buy-in. Do you mean to suggest that the Russian president was not serious about that conditionality? My impression has been that Mr. Putin says what he means and means what he says. Did we receive different translations, perhaps?
It's very clear to me that Putin's decision to buy into Trump's "Board of Peace" is not madness. Without him and a few other rational world leaders, the Board would be a disaster.
I do hope Putin prevails. The world is teetering on the brink...
I'm also pleased about Canadian PM Mark Carney's speech at Davos.
A few sane heads in the world can hopefully reverse the current dangerous course we are on...
Indeed Margaret, now that the Canadian Prime Minister has said the quiet bits out loud, a few other leaders might grow a backbone, but I'm sure our P.M. Anthony Albanese, will be one of the last to jump ship.
He'll have to pull his head out of Trumps' backside before he can speak.
"Denazification"? Really, Scott, a very intelligent person like you does not know by now that that claim is Russian progadanda? But then, if President Putin said that Earth is round and revolves around the Sun, there are those who would call it Russian propaganda.
Denazification of Ukraine is NOT Russian propaganda! Far right and neo-Nazi groups were involved in the U.S.-orchestrated coup in Ukraine in 2014. There's plenty of information to back this fact up.
Look up the Azore Duvision in Ukraine and the Right Sector... and there were others.
(at 5:20, but the whole video is worth watching) If you do not already, you might consider Jimmy Dore's show; Scott has been on it, most recently with the de-banking issue.
Yes. Very good! And if Putin gets into the driver's seat, putting an end to Ukraine as big money-laundering opportunity too, then even better. I wrote a note on my table, indicating that the UK oligarky's Ukraine interest is to enhance and hide their military profits.
But, are Russian oligarks any different? I doubt that. We are keenly aware today of the threat of global capitalism, operating across all national borders, aren't we (at least some of us)?
Great Article, Scott. Those Ruskies are pretty slick and Vlady there is quite sharp, too. I wish that we could have a President like him. I can hardly wait for Zionism to die off. That Fourth Reich Zionist gang is going to fight hard and dirty on the way out though. Remember, Jesus wins in the end.
BABYLONIAN-Revived Roman Empire of Daniel 2 and Rev 19, talk and act as gods. They are driven by INSATIABLE LUSTS to *manipulate stock markets, to *start lucrative wars, to *kill Christians, to*destroy all that is Godly and good, to *control global currency, to *excel in the trade of luxuries, to *trade humans (Rev 18:13 slaves, children, prostitutes), and to *poison individuals, ethnicities, and nations by way of sorcery = pharmakeia in Greek in Rev 18:23.
LEVIATHAN: Trump has caused GLOBAL CHAOS in trade route OCEANS, which has awakened the Job Chapter 41 LEVIATHAN SPIRIT that is king over all the children of PRIDE. It is a MARINE SPIRIT that operates out of the water realm to cause CONFUSION & CHAOS. It is the Rev 13 & 17 SCARLET SEA BEAST.
JEZEBEL: The Satanic POLITICAL ruler QUEEN JEZEBEL, has been ruling Washington DC & London since 1914 Balfour Declaration when the demonic power of the religion of Kabbalah Zionism hijacked them.
WAR in the HEAVENS: The invisible Revelation 12 WAR is in play. Satan/dragon has been cast down to Earth. 6000 years ago, in the Garden of Eden, Satan the fallen cherub who tried to overtake the Throne of God and was cast out of heaven, was just a serpent. Today, Satan the “prince and power of the air” is seen as a dragon and is causing global chaos. SPIRITUAL WAR: Eph 6:12: Our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against the rulers, authorities, world forces of this darkness, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.”
LIFE is in the BLOOD (Leviticus 17:11-12): In these last days before Christ returns, Satan’s team both demonic and human, have like vampires, been super-empowered by the increased shedding of innocent blood by abortions, human sacrifice, genocides, regime changes, unjust wars, and random bombing of fishing boats. This is Satan's last chance to rule the planet before Christ returns at #R1919 Rev 19:19 Armageddon to reclaim and restore His creation. Rev 12:12: “Satan having great wrath knowing his time is short”. Redeemed believers who REMAIN as a branch in the Christ-Vine of John 15, are sealed for eternal life by the BLOOD RITE of the LAMB. (Rev 5:9).
If President Putin foolishly joins Trump’s Board of Peace (which has been declared in the Court of Heaven (Daniel 7: 9-14 & Rev 20:4,11-15 ) to be Babylonian, then Russia will also receive God’s wrath of plagues and consuming fires in Rev 18.
And to think, they could have ended it in March '22. So.... how many lives has it cost, to get to this place?
Thanks Amerika.

i agree
I suspect even the Russians knew it was a scam....but played the game just in case it wasn't....
we all see now what the insane powers of the West think.:
- protesting genocide is treason.
- protesting the peace coalition of turning Gaza into a resort with Palestinians their surfs is treason
-expressing you noncompliance with their "executive orders"/rulers...treasonous.
they all gotta go dear comrades or their autocratic rule rule us all and our liberties usurped.
Fight back...
Resist oppression
Resist fascism.
**RESIST**
Minsk was a charade...move on comrade
When one must resort to name-calling, and outdated name-calling at that, enough has been said. https://www.ei-magazine.com/post/name-calling-a-sign-of-low-emotional-intelligence; https://neurolaunch.com/psychology-behind-name-calling/
Was their study carried out on Trump? :-)

My Mum always said 'Ignore them and they'll go away' but I don't think will hold up in todays reality.
Excellent article, as usual, Scott

I believe Vladimir Putin also said that the Palestinians would be equal citizens in a one state solution. At least that is what I heard on a podcast.
It's very clear to me that Putin's decision to buy into Trump's "Board of Peace" is not madness. Without him and a few other rational world leaders, the Board would be a disaster.

Thank you Scott, but it obviously depends on whether Russian assets in U.S. are released, and Russia will insist on Palestinians at the table.
"Denazification"? Really, Scott, a very intelligent person like you does not know by now that that claim is Russian progadanda? But then, if President Putin said that Earth is round and revolves around the Sun, there are those who would call it Russian propaganda.
BTW: by definition, propaganda does not have to be false: https://www.britannica.com/topic/propaganda.

I am aware of all that. I was being ironic, but unfortunately irony seems to be a lost art, at least an unappreciated one.
Sorry! I should have picked that up. I am very pro-iriny, and I agree it's a lost art. Nobody gets ironic jokes anymore.
It's OK! Scott is good at the irony thing. Speaking of irony:

After WW2 British government welcomed thousands of Ukrainian (Galicien) SS OUN/B members. And many remained.
Yes. Very good! And if Putin gets into the driver's seat, putting an end to Ukraine as big money-laundering opportunity too, then even better. I wrote a note on my table, indicating that the UK oligarky's Ukraine interest is to enhance and hide their military profits.
But, are Russian oligarks any different? I doubt that. We are keenly aware today of the threat of global capitalism, operating across all national borders, aren't we (at least some of us)?
Without Palestinian representation: FU Trump and any other nation joining building this conc camp.
Great Article, Scott. Those Ruskies are pretty slick and Vlady there is quite sharp, too. I wish that we could have a President like him. I can hardly wait for Zionism to die off. That Fourth Reich Zionist gang is going to fight hard and dirty on the way out though. Remember, Jesus wins in the end.
😀 😃
Who wrote this?
US “mediators” for Ukraine are — three Zionist Jews — this in itself is scandalous in the middle of US genocide in Gaza
Putin should not be involved with any of Trump's schemes. Trump is a dishonest man, a liar, a thug. He is absolutely untrustworthy.
PUTIN with BOARD of PEACE? GOD FORBID!

Assuming the US Deep State knows all about this will Putin be barred from joining the BoP?
