No one knows where the critical tipping points lie for social, economic, political and military/conflict systems.

Or is that the plan?

I believe that the candles burn all night in Kyiv as Ukraine IS coming up with a counter proposal. Zelenskyy today announced his team to deliver it to Trump and his capos. And the team includes 'the Buda': Kyrylo Budanov, chief of Ukraine's Military Intelligence. That's good! Very good.
