US Secretly Asks Ukraine to Show They’re Open to Talks – PR Move?

According to The Washington Post, the U.S. privately asked Ukraine to show Russia it’s open to talks. Is this a PR stunt?

Why ask? Why not tell them? Are we subservient to Ukraine?

According to The Post on Saturday, The Biden administration is privately encouraging Ukraine’s leaders to signal an openness to negotiate with Russia and drop their public refusal to engage in peace talks unless President Vladimir Putin is removed from power.

The paper quoted unnamed people familiar with the discussions as saying that the request by American officials was not aimed at pushing Ukraine to the negotiating table, but a calculated attempt to ensure Kyiv maintains the support of other nations facing constituencies wary of fueling a war for many years to come.

It said the discussions illustrated the complexity of the Biden administration’s position on Ukraine, as U.S. officials publicly vow to support Kyiv with massive sums of aid “for as long as it takes” while hoping for a resolution to the eight-month conflict that has taken a big toll on the world economy and triggered fears of nuclear war.

Why just hope? End it. Sounds like mere window dressings – P R?

The article states that they know Russia is not serious, but at least make gestures beyond demanding Putin step down.

How would they know if Russia is serious or not? There has been no diplomacy and no legitimate attempt to negotiate.

THEY’RE WORRIED ABOUT UKRAINE FATIGUE

U.S. and Ukrainian officials acknowledged that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s ban on talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin had generated concern in parts of Europe, Africa, and Latin America, where the war’s effects on costs of food and fuel are felt most sharply, the Post said.

“Ukraine fatigue is a real thing for some of our partners,” it quoted an unnamed U.S. official as saying.

Zelenskiy signed a decree on Oct. 4 formally declaring the prospect of any Ukrainian talks with Putin “impossible” but leaving the door open to talks with Russia.

Is the US even serious?

Michael Tracey believes it’s just PR. I know what I think, but what do you think?

MEANWHILE, BACK AT THE USA

Meanwhile, our borders are wide open, and all our enemies can pour through if they so desire. At last night’s Trump rally, the crowd broke into the National Anthem. When will Democrats care as much about the US as they do Ukraine?

Joe Biden’s laughably “encouraging’ anyone to do anything translates to there’s no more money to pay off the race-cleansing Zelensky.

The Puppet Masters have realized that they are going to have to throw Traitor Joe under the bus. Democrats know that Republicans will Defund the War in Ukraine and by April Russia will have full control of Ukraine. The CIA and the Politicians need an exit door. They will need to build one before January or a lot of Politicians and People at the CIA will be taking the 5th come February! Once the Congress starts investigating the 2014 Coup in Ukraine all hell will break lose. This winter is going to suck for Europe and make us quite a few enemies and at this point we can’t do a damn thing about it!

Your willingness to throw Ukraine under the bus in favor of totalitarian Russia and that oh so important world popularity is noted.

America crossed a line when the CIA interfered with the 2014 Election to unseat the the Ukrainian People’s choice of a more friendly to Russia Government. The War in Ukraine did not have to happen. America is responsible for the carnage in Ukraine because we have stupid idiots in the CIA and State Department still fighting a Cold War with the USSR which no longer exist! Russia is not a friend, but we have a much bigger enemy in China to deal with! Our present Ukraine policy has pushed Russia to be friends with China and will ultimately make much of Europe our enemy before next Spring. It will be a very cold winter in Europe. If you think the US can take on the World without friends you’re very foolish. US World popularity is important! Ukraine is not of strategic importance. It’s smart for a Nation to pick its battles wisely. Fighting a proxy war in Ukraine is just plain Stupid. Democrats are stuck on Stupid! As I say a lot, “You can’t fix Stupid!”

Seriously, you’re going to blame the GuvGeek for throwing Ukraine under the bus? Just because someone is against this war doesn’t mean they’re siding with Russia. You can’t see through this bs? Zelinsky, Obama, Clintons and the Bidens . . are doing the same “Russia Russia” they used against Trump . . tell me you’re falling for it again.

What I am against is fighting battles we can’t win! We are in Ukraine because Traitor Joe is a compromised President doing all he can to protect his Puppet Masters and the Biden Family Mafia! This Conflict was started by the CIA and Obama meddling in Ukraine’s 2014 Elections so they could have their Failed Country to launder money through! Not ending this War Now, and getting oil and gas to Europe, will make enemies!

Ukraine made the mistake of getting in bed with the US and the west back in 2014. Now the US and NATO are looking for a way out as Russia has defeated them. Hopefully this is the end of the feckless, evil and outdated “NATO”.

There is a new sheriff in town….and it ain’t Joe Biden.

Unfortunately, the Traitor Joe Regime has left Russia far stronger in Europe and Asia than it was a year ago. In the end, we may have made enemies in Africa also. I see NATO being dissolved in 2 years.
