removing the sanctions will be the last step of the peace process

and it won’t happen at all until the last invading Russian soldier leaves Ukraine

[adorno]

Lifting of sanctions can occur, but, Russia must pull out of Ukraine unconditionally and return all prisoners (including the abducted children) and pay for reparations of Ukraine.

Simple enough.

Now that our ‘sanctions’ have resulted in the likely upcoming death of the PetroDollar and pretty much got the OTHER 85% of the world to team up against the West (at least economically), I suspect that we’ll be lifting our ‘sanctions’ far earlier than the Neocons may wish.

Putin is doing what Putin does... trolling. Move along, there is nothing here to see!

Ukraine will never negotiate or talk to Putin now. Xi Jinping faces potential public embarrassment shaking hands with an indicted war criminal and loss of face.

The bombing will continue until moral improves.

Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova on Saturday indicated that lifting all anti-Russia sanctions and canceling all claims against Moscow in international judicial instances should be an intrinsic part of a peace settlement in Ukraine.

And people in Hell want ice water!

I think this is an example of Putin trying to make the rest of the world match the voices in his head. The Russian army is not doing well and there is a great deal of bad news around for Putin. The one thing that probably makes him feel better is to jerk people around so that he can get nice juicy soundbites that will fit his narrative and, hopefully, distract from all that bad news.

It is what it is, defeat his butt.
