    @Renauda said in The Ukraine war thread:

    From today’s issue Moscow Times:

    The Kremlin said Thursday it welcomed any attempt to end the Ukrainian conflict, on Moscow's terms, a day after the leaders of China and Ukraine had their first call since the offensive.

    "We are ready to welcome anything that can bring forward the end of the conflict in Ukraine and the achievement of Russia's goals," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

    In other words, the Kremlin is not interested.

    What a blatantly ridiculous statement.

    "Give us what we want and we'll stop killing people."

    (The Kremlin, not you @Renauda !)

    Indeed, I believe the term for it is called extortion.

    Gangster diplomacy from a mafia regime.

        They keep posting stuff like this as if it is significant. The one guy was 78, the other had suffered a serious illness for some time. Innuendo.

          I concur. The only time I pause is when the deceased are defenestrated, suddenly and inexplicably go into massive toxic shock or are found dead from multiple gunshot wounds.

                                        Sooner or later China will call its mortgage. May not be in Putin’s time, but China will someday come knocking. The Kremlin, or whatever new age Fascist state is left if of it in the wake of the current criminal regime, will run to the West for assistance.

                                        We should think twice about assisting.

                                          The enemy of my enemy may not be my friend, but they may prove useful. Assuming that Russia still has any nukes that are reliable - an uncertain thing given recent kleptocracy in the armed forces, they could still inflict some damage on China. And if it’s within a decade of this misadventure it will be all they have left.
