-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

This is one of those deals that will signal to Russia that peace without victory is off the table. Once the US has a reliance on resources in Ukraine it'll go to war to defend them, no different to the Article 5/NATO red lines given by Putin many times already.
Of course he can't decree what deals Ukraine signs under Zelensky, but as long as the war carries on the deal cannot materialise fully. As long as the deal cannot materialise, Russian troops can continue their slow march to Kiev and eventually topple the Zelensky regime.
They have been gaining like 0.4% of the land area per year as of late and are rapidly running out of weapons reserves used to sustain this growth. The war will go on but it's comical to suggest Russia will get to Kiev.
This is assuming Ukraine can sustain its current effort. With the US pulling funding and Ukraine's military suffering from high desertion as well as the growing unpopularity of the Kiev regime, that's far from being guaranteed.
