One of the reasons for the sliding oil price is supposedly a potential peace in Ukraine. It appears the entire world has gone mad. Is it really only a few of us here, we who have followed Russia for a long time, who understand there will be no peace with Russia?

Meanwhile Ukraine is being asked to surrender its sovereignty in exchange for “security guarantees” from this same US administration.

I suspect any security guarantees will be the opposite of robust

There is no such thing as western security guarantees. These will be please go away and die quietly guarentees

I think its too late to stop now. Maybe if the Russian economy collapses and the country breaks up it won't happen. But lots of countries will want nukes so the world will be less safe. This is just my opinion by the way

My daughter is three and a half years old and she learnt already at age two that putting her finger on a hot surface hurts, which is why she doesn't do it again. But negotiate and trust Russia, hey let's burn ourselves over and over again.
