The Ukrainian people are like that if Americans.

Ukrainians love peace, beauty, happiness, freedom, and liberty. Their constitutions reflect that, and all those characteristics are at work in the Zelenskyy administration. The people of Ukraine want peace, not war, but they are not willing to relinquish more land to Russia’s chronic annexations. As a matter of fact, Ukraine wants Crimea returned, albeit commercial access to the Black Sea.

Previous to the Minsk Agreements there existed the Russian-Ukraine Friendship Treaty of 1997, which turned into Putin’s opportunity for political corruption and internal dissension. The political corruption brought by Russia resulted in a hostile atmosphere and the rise of Viktor Yanukovych. We all know where that went.

All the hopes of the Minsk Agreements were nothing but more political propaganda by Putin. The then Former President Poroshenko did not renew the agreements because of the egregious nature of Russia toward Ukraine.

The egregious nature of Putin’s Russia was in clear demonstration when Putin initiated the War on Donbas in 2014 before the Minisk Agreements. The casualties of that  Russian invasion numbered in the ten thousands. Those casualties included more than three thousand Ukrainian civilians. St. Michael’s Monestary in Kiev has a memorial to

The war dead of the Donbas War last I read.

The War on Donbas continued and then escalated in 2022 when Russia rolled tanks into Ukraine while President Zelenskyy was engaged in peaceful economic negotiations with Russia and the European Union. That escalation served Putin’s purpose in interrupting the economic ties with the EU. See, Putin believes the Soviet Union needs to be resurrected from its wayward ashes and any economic ties with the Free World means communism is at risk. Hence, the forever fear of NATO. 

The ties with Ukraine were paused by the EU because the entire world believed Russian tanks were invincible after observing the devastation in Syria. “Wrong.” Ukrainians laughed at Russia and began single handedly destroying the Russian invasion while expecting Putin to have a rush of sanity. “Wrong.” Putin has no sanity except his own ideology about the now dead Soviet Union.

Thus, now enters the picture the most corrupt USA president in the history of the country pretending to be the Prince of Peace. There is no viable agreement anywhere on the horizon with Putin. Nowhere. How is an agreement to any form of peace between Ukraine and Russia going to manifest as Russia continues to have the highest war losses in Russian history as Putin ropes in North Korea and who knows who else into soldiers of fortune? That is a skill Putin adapted from the now dead Wagner.

Any TALKS between Putin and Trump are nothing but empty expressions of propaganda designed to change Vladimir’s image to the world view. Enter complaints about Trump and his bromance with a killer in Putin to bring REAL life FACTS to Putin’s propaganda campaign. Could the Russian investment through the NRA and Maria Butina actually pay off? 

Any meeting in Alaska might be a longing for a vacation by Putin to view the endangered Polar Bear. But, it will be nothing more than that while Putin bemoans selling Alaska to the USA. Putin is terrified the U.S.A. might actually annex Canada into statehood and where would that leave Putin’s ideology of the Soviet Union phoenix?

Where ACCOUNTABLY behind in this hellacious war.

The war in Ukraine is considered a war by most Free World countries, not a special military operation. A special military operation is mostly a single unit issue and not an entire military commitment of which has been the case with Russia.

The escalation by Russia is ignored as if Russia has a right to simply romp into a disarmed country for its own purposes. This war began with an illegal annexation of Crimea which is one of Russia’s larger annexations over the recent decades. 

I have yet to witness in my lifetime the annexation of any foreign land defended in freedom by the USA. INSTEAD, we call them allies and conduct economic and prosperity ties, the largest of which is Iraq which is self governing.

The annexation of Crimea concluded 29 March 2014. There were six deaths and ten people remain missing after the hostile Russian ac. This hostile act, carried out by the now defunct Wagner Group, completely destroyed the governance of Ukraine creating a crisis that was answered by reaching back to put past authorities in place including an earlier version of the Ukrainian Constitution.

THAT IS NOT A MINOR ACT OF SAVAGERY. 

Is it clear where this accurate depiction of history is going? It also includes past agreements along the way, shredded by Russia.

By the way, in pride of USA armed forces, the Iraqi wetlands were restored and the religious authority of the Ayatollah Al Sistani was left intact. What replaced Saddam was democracy, no matter how imperfect, and self governance. That democracy AND prosperity didn’t occur out of osmosis; the American people demanded it.

WHICH WAS NO MINOR ACT OF CIVILITY.

The death toll of the illegal Iraq invasion was ridiculous and brought on by the insistence of terrorists. The USA prevailed but at a dear cost of blood and treasure. It was a highly propagandized invasion after the attacks of September 11, 2001. The American people are very aware, even today, of the lethal role propaganda played in that invasion.

What followed the Crimean invasion by Russia were the Minsk Agreements of which both countries were prohibited from conducting war in the other’s lands.

Well, ya never know what Trump’s going to run his mouth about either.

The proposed meeting in Alaska is high level and being conducted with two of the world’s biggest propagandists. Quite frankly, it is meaningless for the amount of jet fuel involved. Quite frankly neither Putin or Trump can be trusted for whatever corruption will be agreed upon.

At the very least there should be international observers with record keeping stenographers. 

This is a high level meeting between two international politicians attempting to rewrite history. This meeting of only two parties involved in a very lethal war is normally conducted at lower levels until a desired treaty is realized. This level of meeting is usually the last step of negotiations meant to finalize the treaty; not the first. Any formal agreement between Russia and the USA that ostracizes all other interested parties with a stake in the outcome threatens international stability and the future of peace.

This meeting is an escalation of tensions, not a resolve. I would think that obvious.
