Full Ceasefire Possible Only If Ukraine Pulls Back Troops, Holds Elections: Moscow

Update(1319ET): The Russian and Ukrainian delegations didn’t have a whole lot to talk about in Monday’s Istanbul meeting, apparently, given it only lasted for about an hour – but they did reach agreement for another major prisoner swap.

Russia’s RT has said it has gotten hold of Russia’s newest and full outline for permanent settlement. The state-funded outlet has summarized in the following points:

  • Crimea, Donbass, Kherson, Zaporozhye internationally recognized as Russian 
  • Ukraine doesn’t join NATO or any military bloc 
  • Ukraine holds ELECTIONS 
  • Withdraws troops from new Russian regions 
  • BANS Nazi propaganda

But expectations are low at this point, and it seems that the Kremlin is patiently weighing its options to Sunday’s assault, rather launching a hasty retaliatory attack. 

Zelensky, feeling confident and emboldened, is warning Russia there’s more to come as US and European weapons are ‘better’ and Kiev has a full arsenal of them. Clearly Zelensky attempted to establish leverage with ‘Operation Spider Web’.

A Cogent Question

Trump

The attack on Russian airfields, bridges and trains came as a surprise to President Trump. This leaves Americans with two choices:

  1. The Deep State is still in control.
  2. Trump is lying.

I voted for Trump as I said before the election because it was a possible chance to improve our future. It did not take a lot of time on my point to vote. I did not believe that he would succeed in the restoration of the Republic and am still surprised at how much he was able to accomplish in a short time.

The reality is that WWIII is upon us. Europe has descended into darkness and its leaders only have war as their final option to stay in power. Even if it is to rule over the ashes of civilization. Where does this leave our country? Even if Trump is in control and did not have any foreknowledge of this attack that was eighteen months in planning, he has to recognize that the West has gone too far. The proxy war with Russia has taken us to the brink of a nuclear war. If anyone thinks that a nuclear war will be “limited”, I suggest the you buy more Kool-aid and potassium iodide tablets.

On a positive note, God is still in control and Mt. Etna may be an unexpected sign of His divine power.

The Widening Gyre

Do you hear those alarm bells ringing? Looks like June is bustin’ out all over, as the old Broadway ditty goes. Bedlam is in the air, and in more varieties than Heinz has pickles. Take your pick: civil war blooming in France and the UK, maybe even Germany — if it can shake off its psychotic stupor. World War III flutters over the continent like an answered prayer coming in for a landing. And here in the USA, genuine insurrection ripens with the summer’s peaches.

The Champs Elysees was a battlefield Saturday night as a soccer celebration went all Jihad, leaving two rioters dead and hundreds arrested (unreported in The New York Times, of course, because. . . reasons). The two Alexanders at The Duran report that a plot is underway in London to deep-six (not eighty-six) Labour PM Sir Keir Starmer, who enjoys the lowest poll ratings in the history of British polling. Ol’ Keir likes to throw grannies in jail for rude Facebook posts while Islamic rape gangs do their thing and knife attacks multiply on the indigenous population. Not a good look. Perennial nationalist irritant Tommy Robinson was released from prison the other day, too, and you can expect fury arising around — and at him — as the sceptered isle day-by-day disappears under a burqa.

Will Russia’s Retaliation To Ukraine’s Strategic Drone Strikes Decisively End The Conflict?

I’m guessing Russian retaliation will occur after and perhaps depending on the results of today’s meeting in Istanbul.

From Zerohedge:

Ukraine carried out strategic drone strikes on Sunday against several bases all across Russia that are known to house elements of its nuclear triad. This came a day before the second round of the newly resumed Russian-Ukrainian talks in Istanbul and less than a week after Trump warned Putin that “bad things..REALLY BAD” might soon happen to Russia. It therefore can’t be ruled out that he knew about this and might have even discreetly signaled his approval in order to “force Russia into peace”.

I’m so happy to have ended my twenty years of non-voting in Federal elections to cast my vote for Trump (sarc – extreme sarc).

Two Bridges ‘Blown Up’, Trains Derailed, In Russian Regions Bordering Ukraine, Killing At Least 7

A lot happened in the Russia-Ukraine war on Sunday, and as the dust settles from Ukraine’s major drone attacks which struck airbases and destroyed strategic bombers deep inside Russian territory, details of other parallel, devastating alleged ‘sabotage attacks’ are emerging.

Two bridges have collapsed in Russia’s western regions bordering Ukraine on Sunday morning, which derailed trains and left at least seven people dead, and dozens more injured

Railway authorities said of the Bryansk incident that “illegal interference” was the cause, with regional governor Alexander Bogomaz saying a bridge had been “blown up”.

CNN details that “The bridge came down in the region’s Vygonichi district, about 100 kilometers (62 miles) from the Ukrainian border, crushing the moving train and injuring at least 66 people, including three children, Russian authorities reported.”

Russian state media is giving ‘sabotage’ as the reason for the train derailments
