Putin: ‘Russia is ready to keep fighting until the last Ukrainian dies.’

Russia has zero interest in peace. Calling Kremlin demands for Ukrainian surrender ‘peace talks’ is just another way of spreading their propaganda.

If these people are shocked its because they have not been paying attention, MAGA-world antipathy to Europe has been blindingly obvious. Its just that doing something about it it is hard and costly.
Trumpworld’s loathing of Europe has become a charge that centrist leaders are “betraying Western civilisation” and don’t deserve to be defended by US. Shocked European officials fear a schism in the West, with Putin a likely winner. My column, The Telegram

Brexit is the crisis. The economic crisis, the social crisis, the political crisis in the UK are all the direct consequence of Brexit. Only reversing Brexit and rejoining the EU will put an end to the crisis the UK is in.

We are unable to convince Ukrainians that our terror will stop if they surrender to us, because it will not. Thus they keep fighting.
