Der 28 Punkte Plan in einem Satz: die Ukraine wird dafür bestraft, dass sie von Russland überfallen worden ist, während Russland wirtschaftlich großzügig belohnt und diplomatisch vollständig rehabilitiert wird.

Die Karte zeigt es: die UA müssen bis zu 70km durch weitgehend deckungsloses Gelände zurückgehen - unter anhaltendem RU Beschuß
Das ist ein Plan zur Vernichtung von möglichst vielen kampferprobten UA Verbänden.
Anschließend kann Putin die Sender-Gleiwitz-Klausel ziehen und den Krieg fortsetzen

Was mW viel zu wenig thematisiert wird, ist der 28. Punkt:
"...the ceasefire will take effect immediately after both sides retreat to agreed points..."
Vollkommen abwegig: nicht Waffenstillstand, damit beide Seiten die vereinbarten Positionen räumen können - umgekehrt
Wozu?

I’ve been in a room with Putin. He calls Ukrainians “Russians with accents.” His real fear isn’t NATO expansion, it’s democracy expansion. It shatters his entire argument for dictatorship at home. Because if Ukrainians embrace freedom, Russians may demand the same.

One of the nice things about being able to revisit, and expand on this series has been the time to explore a bit more about how the California's crew FELT. Not just what they did.
We don't have a lot of sources on that. But we do have some. I think it's important to remember they were normal men.

Tomorrow we continue our series on the true story of Pan Am California Clipper's remarkable, forced circumnavigation of the globe in WW2.
In India, with Christmas looming, it's hard for the crew's thoughts not to turn to the families waiting for them at home. theupfront.media/the-long-way...
