It's almost as if 'peace negotiations' involving the Americans and Russia is a cover for Trump and Putin to get together to work out ways to carve up their respective neighbouring coutries. Like, 'I scratch your back if you scratch mine'.
Meanwhile, China just sits back and makes hay either way.

Peace negotiation news: a year of never-ending peace negotiations resulted in ever more brutal drone & missile attacks in Ukraine amid extreme cold weather. People
of Ukraine have electricity for 4-6 hours per day. Some have no heating & water. 🇷🇺 keeps killing Ukrainians.

I was saying back in '22, repeatedly said it since, and say again now, Ukraine's allies, especially all those in Europe, should get planes in the air and boots on the ground.
Russia must fail in Ukraine. Spectacularly so.
And let's have NATO2, a reformed org for all free & democratic nations.

The two most effective ways to help win the war against the double threats facing us in Europe: donate to Ukraine and boycott US products and services (even when they are slightly better, you don't win wars without sacrifice).
Some Danes, offended by Trump’s claims on Greenland, are boycotting U.S. goods. A Facebook group that offers tips on avoiding or replacing everything from Kellogg’s Corn Flakes to HP printers has gathered nearly 100,000 members.

France is perhaps the one European country that has not relied on the Americans for defence, making most of its own weapons, including nukes & subs.
Successive British gvts have foolishly gone down the road of contracting out our defence industry to the Americans.

Russia is deliberately destroying the Ukrainian town of Dobropillia. Putin’s forces are striking residential neighbourhoods, forcing the town to live under constant threat of shelling. Civilians become targets; this is no longer about the frontline but about a sustained assault on urban life itself.
