Not a word about peace process, unless I missed it.

Top of the line, front and centre, block bold capitals at all times should be the current state of peace negotiations.

What is on offer. What is being declined. What alternatives anyone can think of.

Not a word.

Not. A. Word.

Only loving iterations of condemnations of Russia and Russians and loving accounting of the pouring in of inflammatory materials meant to escalate and perpetuate the war - and deepen and strengthen the certainty that Ukraine will become an American satrapy.

When you sup with the devil use a long spoon. Too late. Ukraine is sitting on the devil's lap and sucking from his tit.

No interest in peace anywhere.

Just a loving dedication to war and avid hunger for death of Russians.

Which they, of course, will get.

At the cost of the deaths of Ukrainians. Young men Old men Little babies. Old women, Young women... anyone.

Who knows who's right and who's wrong? In the fight? No one. It is a matter of perspective.

Who knows who is right overall? Everyone. Even me. I am right. We are all right that call for an immediate cessation of all fighting.

We see a different two sides. The two sides we see are Hungry killers on one side, and their victims on the other. Is all.

But here's some stuff popped up today from the more usual 'division' or 'view of sides', this from the side Graham abhors. Just by way of balance.

Peace is likely immediately after the Russians withdraw their forces from the Ukrainian territory defined in 1991 as agreed by Russia.

Talking of agreements I think what the English Nigel Farage told the EU in 2014 puts everything rather well.

tucker carlson on the ukraine/russia con trick

Tucker introducing Nigel Farage's speech to the EU

"The U.S. has never had a president as reckless as Joe Biden is. We're going to pay the price for that for a long time.

But Nigel Farage, had you asked him, could have predicted all of this. In fact, he did predict it back in 2014

as the leader of the U.K. Independence Party. Farage gave a speech to the European Parliament that year,

which unfortunately, we just saw yesterday: "

NIGEL FARAGE:

" Among the long list of foreign policy failures and contradictions in the last few years,

including, of course, the bombing of Libya, the desire to arm the rebels in Syria,

has been the unnecessary provocation of Vladimir Putin.

This EU empire, ever seeking to expand, stated its territorial claim on the Ukraine some years ago.

Just to make that worse, of course, some NATO members said they too would like the Ukraine to join NATO.

We directly encouraged the uprising in the Ukraine that led to the toppling of the president, Yanukovych,

and that led, of course, in turn to Vladimir Putin reacting and the moral of the story is if you poke

the Russian bear with a stick, don't be surprised when he reacts.

Now, just to continue with that, today we are rushing through an association agreement at undue speed with the

Ukraine and as we speak, there are NATO soldiers engaged in military exercises in the Ukraine.

Have we taken leave of our senses? Do we actually want to have a war with Putin?

Because if we do, we're certainly going about it the right way.

Perhaps we ought to recognize that the West now faces the biggest threat and crisis to our way of life that we

have seen for over 70 years.

The recent beheadings of the British and American hostages graphically illustrates the problem,

and of course, we have our own citizens from our own countries engaged in that struggle too.

In the war against Islamic extremism, Vladimir Putin, whatever we may think of him as a human being,

is actually on our side.

I suggest we grow up. I suggest we recognize the real threat facing all of our countries,

communities and societies; we stop playing war games in the Ukraine;

and we start to prepare a plan to help countries like Syria, like Iraq, like Kenya,

like indeed Nigeria, to try and help them to deal with the real threat that faces us.

Let us not go on provoking Putin, whether we like him or not. "

2022 edition of "Tucker Carlson Tonight.

Hard to say with certainty what motivated Putin to attempt a change in Ukraine. I assess things were not going his way in the Donbas toward his land corridor. His annexation of Crimea was the first act. He had a long term lease on his base that had been working. To say Crimea with it's remarkable ethnic mix was OK with being annexed is open to question after a very flawed vote. But at the time Ukraine was not able to stop that and next to Odessa the area remains important to Ukraine. Since that time Ukraine has had a series of people in control who wanted a stronger military so got help from others. Perhaps the integration of Azov into the Ukraine military was Putin's trigger point.

Tucker seems concerned that the US use it's troops in Ukraine. Even as foolish as Biden and Democrats are I don't think that will happen. The talk about use of nuclear weapons anywhere is risky. Particularly because the US sees no need for that sort of weapon given better conventional weapons. I do hope that Russia takes that into account.

But the US glee in the prospects of removal of Putin is dangerous as well. Russia is not the cause for US divisions in spite of trying to take advantage of those divisions. Hopefully wiser heads will prevail.

Russia invades Ukraine and you claim that 'No one is right and no one is wrong' and that it's all 'a matter of perspective'. This flacid, dishonest, moral equivalence is contemptable. You are an example of moral failure.
