Asian Times: Russia Invasion of Ukraine is a joke. Since US lead Color Revolution, Ukraine rotting from the inside, consumed by fear, loathing and poverty, will remain in limbo.
What Putin really told Biden
Russian and US leaders dropped their respective rhetorical gauntlets but nobody really expects Russia to invade Ukraine By PEPE ESCOBAR DEC 8, 2021
What Putin diplomatically told Team Biden, sitting at their table, is that Russia’s red line – no Ukraine in NATO – is unmovable. The same applies to Ukraine turned into a hub of the Pentagon’s empire of bases and hosting NATO weaponry.
The root cause of all this drama, absent from any NATO narrative, is straightforward: Kiev simply refuses to respect the February 2015 Minsk Agreement.
Putin demanding from the US – which runs NATO – a written, legally binding guarantee that the alliance will not advance further eastward towards Russian borders is the game-changer here.
Team Biden cannot possibly deliver: they would be eaten alive by the War Inc establishment. Putin studied his history and knows that Daddy Bush’s “promise” to Gorbachev on NATO expansion was just a lie. He knows those who run NATO will never commit themselves in writing.
