Ukraine’s Kursk Collapse & Washington’s Rush to Freeze Conflict Under “Minsk 3”

As Ukraine’s Kursk operations collapse and wider fears grow regarding the viability of Ukraine’s armed forces, the US is rushing to freeze the conflict, create a European-occupied buffer zone in Ukraine, and buy time to rearm and reorganize Ukraine’s forces for the next round of fighting.

    It seems that even Putin himself is part of the plan to freeze the conflict and let his “enemies” regroup, rest and organize for the next round…

    The “ceasefire” trick is an old reheated and not very palatable meal that has been used in Gaza and Lebanon against Hamas and Hezbollah who now realize how they have been fooled.

    But Russia is not Palestine or Lebanon.

    It is telling to see that after the deadly attack by NATO/EU/US the day before the meeting between US/Ukraine for ‘peace’ talks was not even mentioned and no retaliation took place despite the “Ukrainians” striking inside Russia as deep as Moscow.

    Putin’s red lines are made of very soft rubber not of steel obviously.

    Chances are that, like in the Syrian betrayal, they already have set everything up and the rest is just theater to gain their respective population consents.

    It should be noted however that:

    1/ Dutch parliament voted No to the 800 billion wet dream of total nullity vonder lugen
    2/ Former Dutch PM and suspected pedophile mark rutte has already announced that Ukraine won;t be part of NATO (at least not in the near future), but of course, it might just be for the show as no one can trust the US/EU zionist empire of lies.
