Unless something not yet seen, radically changes the timeline ('what would that be?', you might ask. I can't imagine), I agree with Scott's assessment - admitting that he knows a lot more than I do about these things. Here's what he said in a posting released a little earlier today...

The Price of Peace Now Doubled
When I wrote my previous post, shortly after the 'peace talks' ended in Istanbul yesterday, only the barest details were known of the discussions made at that meeting. I concluded, based on the short duration, that 'nothing happened'. Subsequent revelations show that was not at all the case. Though there was only time for the... Continue Reading →
The US, Dumb as Ever, are just Not Listening. But they are Wasting their Time Trying to Force a Vague, ill-Considered, Peace Deal on Russia
Trump, the Chump, who thinks he is guided by Divine appointment, has set himself up for failure. I don't feel sorry for him, this is what he wanted, but it will not turn out his way. He is going to flunk it. Trump has insufficient competentcy, or influence, or power, to ever gain either a... Continue Reading →

Russia Remains Unimpressed and Unpressured by US Antics to Solve Their Own Ukraine Problem
By their nature, Russians find it difficult to be rude or dismissive to the attempts of others to influence, goad or apply pressure on themselves. Not universally so of course, but generally speaking that is not how they operate. Donald Trump on the other hand, and his ilk, tend to operate in very different ways.... Continue Reading →

Ukraine is Over – Russia Won, Decisively – But the East-West Struggle is Not Finished – So Where Will Be the Next Battleground?
Has The West Not Been Humiliated Enough Yet? Why does the West want to continue its program of endless war? Have they not been humiliated enough yet? Well, I think the answer is they must. Its inbuilt, ingrained, part of who they are. So, they must seek to dominate militarily. But, emerging only in the... Continue Reading →
It Was in Fact, Just another Nothingburger, Perhaps Even Just a Puckburger
I was pleasantly surprised that it actually turned out that way. You know I'm talking about the latest Trump-Putin conversation of course. 'Outcome of Putin-Trump call exceeds skeptics’ expectations, expert says' - TASS - March 19, 2025 It is difficult to understand how an invitation to a contest over a small piece of vulcanised rubber...
