The word "peace" to Vladimir Putin means "opportunity." Not an opportunity to end deaths and suffering. Not at all. It is an opportunity to prepare for greater and worse barrage of death and suffering. That is the case across the board. All the pomp and circumstance around any signature of Putin's is nothing more than placating The Free World. It is a photo opportunity. It is a way of putting false hope in place to allow the Free World's politicians to attempt to tred water to those that elected them.
That is part of the strategy. Whether it is an arms treaty or one of peace in a war zone, the signature of Putin simply is a propaganda tool for both Russia and the Free World. The signatures of those from the Free World are weighted heavily in having it all work. That is part of the strategy. Let the Free World play hero to their people and Russia gets to be as deadly and dangerous as it wants behind the back of those dedicated to hope and a world that has peace.
