So another round of 'talks' in Florida. Ukraine not bending, despite Trump-Vance pressure. Russia insisting on all or nothing. POTUS giving Putin even more time to bomb and kill Ukrainians. What a pathetic, bloody farce! The Hague awaits not only Putin, but also his accomplices.

Latest Moscow US-Russian embrace resulted in more stalling. Who are you continuing to kid? Trump, Witkoff, & fellow-travelers, enough is enough. Europeans move forward; Americans respond: put your house in order for your own sake and that of your friends. Finita la comedia!

AFP headline says it all: 'Zelensky calls for peace, Putin defiant ahead of US-Russia talks.' Ze. says we need lasting peace, not just a ceasefire. Putin says he's ready for war with Europe, if needed. Quite a difference! Trump & co. - are you paying attention? Do you care?
