The US and Ukraine have finalized a ‘temporary ceasefire deal’ during the Jeddah talks, which were meant to be a kind of conciliatory round two chance for Ukraine to amend for Zelensky’s faux pas.

This article seems to be based around an assumption that the entire story of what is going on in Ukraine is obvious on its face. What is obvious is that the level of smoke and mirrors employed in this situation is on a generational scale. There are adults who were not alive to witness the last time we witnessed this level of obfuscation, control of the narrative, and use of the age old tactic of distraction

Besides all of that, this article seems to pick and choose its obvious points and disregard many others

All of that is to say that this is part of the overall effort, a position which is further supported by the fact that this article is printed by the esteemed simplicius. You know, that renowned author of insightful commentary that we all know so well

Cool Pravda Propaganda, Ivan.

It’s not a stretch to say Russia has extended enough ‘good will gestures’ in this conflict. In short, the US is asking Russia for a big favor.

Lol. Lmao, even.

I don't expect the invader to accept a proposal to stop their invasion. Hopefully Trump realizes this soon and surges support to Ukraine to force Russia to stop their invasion.

Trump immediately announced all previous restrictions on weapons aid and intel sharing to be lifted from Ukraine

Seems he is half-way there in doing what needs to be done to stop Russia's invasion.

and surges support to Ukraine to force Russia to stop their invasion.

How? Ukraine will need troops from additional armies in order to win against Russia.

So did Viet Nam, right?

@BombOmOm@lemmy.world I doubt very much that the USA could stop the Russians, even if they wanted too.

The boxer on the ropes and his trainer deciding to have an extra time-out.
Surely the other boxer must accept or he is clearly not of good will.

And the exact same "ball in Russia's court" tweets LOL
EU crying about not being taken seriously and demanding respect.
Here they are again reading what the note says dictated by their US masters. Pathetic clowns
