Your analysis on US conceding to Russia elements already existing (no NATO membership to Ukraine and Georgia) is just great, simple and to the point. However, the infamous fact is that US is not agreement trustworthy. This is why Russia could not accept anything less than a legal agreement.
Excellent and informative analysis.
I didn’t realize those NS2 sanctions were defeated by Filibuster. I didn’t even think that was a viable, practical option any more.
One thing the Russians need to understand is the concept of losing face and that is the reason the West bluster and cannot even state the obvious. The Russians need to be facilitators of any climb-downs.
But do they even want to climb down? and who are they?
It is up to the men in suits as Putin calls them. That is who they are really up against.
Thanks to Putin who is a great leader. However the following comment is to Mr and Mrs Russia. If in the future you ever vote in one of your oligarchs then you will become a lapdog to the USA just like the EU.
