By the way, I am your Russia Expert that no one and no one and I mean no one talks about. For if they acknowledge that I exist? They have to admit that they are wrong about literally everything to do with Russia. – kKEETON

Официальные заявления Москвы и Вашингтона по итогам очередного раунда переговоров в Саудовской Аравии подтвердили то, что и было сказано (https://t.me/EvPanina/16137):
1. США, с их челночной дипломатией, как ни пытались, не смогли претендовать на роль посредника в урегулировании конфликта на Украине и вынуждены договариваться с Россией напрямую — и явно не только по украинскому вопросу. Без привлечения к совместному процессу различных “квази”, “прокси” и “блюд на столе”.
2. Вся ответственность за выполнение киевским режимом продиктованных ему соглашений ложится на Вашингтон. Нелепые ужимки Зеленского, догадавшегося обвинять Москву в манипуляциях, лишь доказывают очевидную истину: “Всё об Украине без Украины”.
Трампу сложнее. Ему теперь придётся давить на Киев, давить на Лондон, Париж и Брюссель, давить на собственный Deep State. Если что-то сорвётся — у Москвы тут же будут развязаны руки. Мяч — уже не на стороне США, а в воротах США.
Впрочем, это тот самый случай, когда не стоит придавать бумагам слишком уж большое значение. Следует смотреть не на бумаги — а на реализацию изложенного в них. В каком виде договорённости будут воплощены — то и станет сверкающей истиной.
1. The US, with its shuttle diplomacy, no matter how hard they tried, could not claim the role of mediator in resolving the conflict in Ukraine and are forced to negotiate with Russia directly – and clearly not only on the Ukrainian issue. Without involving various “quasi”, “proxies” and “dishes on the table” in the joint process.
2. All responsibility for the implementation by the Kyiv regime of the agreements dictated to it falls on Washington. The ridiculous antics of Zelensky, who guessed to accuse Moscow of manipulation, only prove the obvious truth: “Everything about Ukraine without Ukraine”.
It is more difficult for Trump. Now he will have to put pressure on Kyiv, put pressure on London, Paris and Brussels, put pressure on his own Deep State. If something falls through, Moscow will immediately have a free hand. The ball is no longer in the US’s court, but in the US’s goal.
However, this is the very case when you should not attach too much importance to papers. One should look not at the papers, but at the implementation of what is stated in them. In what form the agreements will be implemented, that will become the shining truth.

It has always been this way. Yet recently (last 5 presidencies very obvious), as we watched and seriously realized that an extremely obviously senile Biden was not in charge as president, we now see and watch a solid confirmation that American Presidents are puppets ruled by martinets…
It has never been clearer and by Trump following Biden is has become forefront in the worlds eyes…
Sad really…

The West is in runaway mode and it seems that so many just keep pushing harder and harder in the wrong direction…

Future Chancellor Merz accuses Russia of waging war in Europe and targeting Germany with arson, contract killings & disinformation. You’re not in power yet but already lying like Goebbels. Nazi Germany attacked us like this from 1941-1945. We know how it ended. Bad start, Fritz!
Hope it ends the same way for you.

Будущий канцлер Мерц заявил об агрессивной войне, которую ежедневно ведет Россия в Европе, в виде поджогов, заказных убийств, вандализма и дезинформации. Еще ни дня не проработал, а уже врет, как Геббельс. Да, именно такую войну вела твоя, Мерц, нацистская страна против нашей в 1941-1945. Известно, чем она победно завершилась. Плохо начинаешь, Фриц!
И, надеюсь, также закончишь…

What initially drew all of these Western politicians to Ukraine and Zelensky?
Why would they put their whole societies into economic suicide for Ukraine?
Why do they oppose their compatriots having access to reliable, reasonably priced Russian gas?
Why would they ever think of sending their youth to die in a meat grinder in Ukraine?
Why do they refuse to find out who sabotaged NS2?
Why do they want to bring in so many illegal migrants against the wishes of their citizens?
Why is advancing woke homosexual ideology so important to them?
What is the reason behind their unlawful suppression and exclusion of opposition candidates from office?
Why do the general public tolerate politicians’ deception and unlawful behavior?
and a million more why’s…
Is it time to think for yourself yet?

Words are just a tossed salad and no added olive oil even. Actions will show what is actually happening and actions take time in this case and scenario…
To have an opinion about a phone call that no one else had privy to?
Shows stupidity and right now the media (alternate and or main stream and or whatnot’s) all over the world is showing serious stupidity…
Thus we wait and watch for the actions that happen. What is actually happening? Will be what it will be…
That is why I watch and wait. I have no knowledge about what really happened. Sensationalism is all over the media and Russian media jumped on the bandwagon for the excitement. So how can I say anything about what I do not know about?
Truth takes time!
