Ukraine Blasts French President Macron for Peace Efforts

I’ll say it again because it is so important. Suez divided this country. Vietnam divided the whole free world. Iraq likewise. Yet a dead unanimity actively sneers at dissent on the Ukraine issue, which is even more dangerous than the other three.

~ Peter Hitchins

Emanuel Macron would like to see an end to the devastating Ukraine-Russia war, which is impoverishing the West as they face freezing weather without a sufficient supply of energy. To this end, he is attempting diplomacy with little support. He’s being called an appeaser for trying to work out a deal. If you try to negotiate peace, you’re either an appeaser or a sucker falling into Russia’s trap.

NATO ON RUSSIA’S DOOR IS A RED LINE FOR RUSSIA

Russia does not want the US on its doorstep.

Vladimir Putin needs “security guarantees” from the west so a peace deal can be negotiated, Emmanuel Macron has said, provoking outrage from Kyiv. He wants assurances that NATO will not be at his door in Ukraine. It needs to be part of negotiations, Macron reported the Russians as saying.

“This means that one of the essential points we must address, as President Putin has always said, is the fear that Nato comes right up to its doors and the deployment of weapons that could threaten Russia,” Mr. Macron said.

“That topic will be part of the topics for peace, so we need to prepare what we are ready to do, how we protect our allies and member states, and how to give guarantees to Russia the day it returns to the negotiating table.”

ZELENSKY REJECTS PEACE

Kyiv immediately criticized the French president for advocating making concessions to the Kremlin.

“Someone wants to provide security guarantees to a terrorist and killer state?” said Oleksiy Danilov, who serves as Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president’s national security chief.

“Instead of Nuremberg – to sign an agreement with Russia and shake hands?” he added.

Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to Zelensky, said the “civilized world needs ‘security guarantees’ from [the] barbaric intentions of post-Putin Russia.”

Ukraine rejects the suggestion that the Kremlin should be given any concessions ten months into Vladimir Putin’s bloody invasion.

Leaders in Kyiv similarly maintain negotiations will only be possible if and when Russia withdraws all of its troops. That includes Crimea, which means the war never ends.

David Arakhamia, who acted as the chief of the Ukrainian negotiating group in lapsed talks in the early days of the war, said on Telegram that for Ukraine to begin negotiations, Russia would need to “leave the territory of our country, pay reparations; punish all war criminals; voluntarily give up all nuclear weapons.”

Criticism for Mr. Macron stretched beyond Kyiv, with Alexander Stubb, the former prime minister of Finland, saying he “fundamentally” disagreed with the remarks.

“The only security guarantees we should focus on are essentially non-Russian,” he tweeted. “Russia needs first to guarantee that it does not attack others. Only then can we begin discussions on [European Security.]”

Latvia rejected the notion of peace. They say it’s just a  Russian trap. They want to launch an attack on Russia.

In other words, if you try to negotiate peace, you’re an appeaser or falling into a Russian trap.

In June, critics attacked Macron for saying we should not humiliate Russia.

THE US PUSHED US INTO WAR

On Feb 8, just weeks before Russia’s invasion, at a joint press conference with Mr. Macron in Moscow, Mr. Putin outlined three security demands: an end to Nato enlargements, no missile deployments near its borders, and a scaling back of Nato’s military infrastructure in Europe to 1997 levels, the Telegraph reports.

The United States responded that the Russian demands were “nonstarters.”

We were told Russia planned to restore the kingdom of Catherine the Great. They never showed any signs of wanting to do that. They don’t have the capability.

NATO is no longer North American Alliance; it’s expanding. The US not only expanded into Ukraine but also absorbed Finland and Sweden into NATO, making the situation far more dangerous since they are on Russia’s border.

AND BY THE WAY, PUTIN HAS NEVER SHOWN SIGNS OF ANTISEMITISM

Hate Putin all you want, but have a basis for claims, Chuck.

The American opportunists in DC and on Wall St have thrown Ukraine under the Communist bus THREE TIMES since 1930.

1)Stalin murdered up to 10 million Ukrainians in TWO years through stealing their food and taking over their means of production, yet Washinton and London sat around counting the ways they could make Stalin their buddy.

2) Then, because we were ONLY interested in making points with God by reinstating the state of Israel, we ignored Patton’s sage advice to clean out Moscow and sat by while he turned half the world into a slave state for 40+ years!!
Conveniently, our US Oligarchy made BIG bank on the Cold War at the expense of hundreds of millions inside the USSR.

3) After conning Ukraine in 1994 to give up her nukes for a promise of sovereignty by USA and UK in Budapest 1994, we AGAIN sat around while Putin crossed Ukraine’s borders and stold land in 2014.

4) And now, we have supposed goid Christian conservatives ready to throw Ukraine under the Kremlin bus AGAIN.

The first three hit and runs by America were made by Democrats of the Communist variety in Washington.

This conservative push to trash Ukraine again seems to be driven by a Nazi-phobia left over from WW2. There seems to be a fable going around that Putin is a victim and he’s the Russian version of Trump.

PUTIN AIN’T NO TRUMP, boys and girls..
He’s a ruthless murderer who wants USSR 2.0, just like his Uncle Joe used to operate.

Zelenskiy is NO fool. He knows who he’s dealing with in Washington, Brussels, Davos.

He is doing for UKRAINE what Trump was attempting here in America. Watch Ukraine and take lots of notes. They will put the Kremlin bus in the shredder where it belongs and command the respect of those who stood by and watched all those crimes against Ukraine.

Man!! WAKE UP

Great summary. Pimping for Putin is one of the most ignorant and weirdest things nominally conservative ‘pundits’ have taken up. They don’t even seem to see the paradox of draping themselves in the Red flag. Trump must be scratching his head and wondering how he can possibly win at the head of such a bunch of vacuous losers.

Emanuel Macron is worried able Germany’s lack of Energy!

As soon as France sorts out it’s Nuclear Generator problems, Germany will march into France to take them over. WWIII officially starts when France surrenders to Germany.

The NWO globalist criminal gang is not fully unified. Reasonable people have been saying Europe is going to back off their aggressive position against Russia. That leaves the USA again alone a the troublemaker. The corrupt USA DC/deep state will make it hard for Biden to back off.

Chuck Todd is a cheap sophomore collegiate level quality of reporter. He exudes inability.

At one time the left was the peace party and Americans trusted their government to protect them. That is all reversed.

The USA continues to add problems atop other ones, that is what failure is.

You got it backwards, yet again! It was the commie creep, on an ego trip, who invaded another country and is now getting his Stalinist butt whipped. You’re a stunning reflection of the impediments that will make it impossible for Trump to secure a 2nd term. ‘Conservatism’ that supports a bloodthirsty commie creep won’t float.
