If you read between the lines above, you’ll note Ukraine barely covered a fraction of the talk, which included artificial intelligence and a host of other geopolitical issues. Likewise, Trump’s guarded remarks in press statements afterwards also left much to be desired, for instance describing the only Ukraine-related ‘achievement’ of the talks being Putin acknowledging that ‘he would like to end the killing’.
This is the clear definition of reaching: Trump’s team is trying to sell the phone chat as a much larger leap of progress than it really was. The added declaration that Putin intends to meet Trump in Saudi Arabia was empty garnish, as no urgent date was set, and they were bound to meet at some point in the future anyway. The same goes for the timed release of “political prisoner” Mark Fogel, which was meant to dress up the occasion, to add grist to the narrative that Trump is making some big ‘headway’ with Russia—nothing of the sort; this is desperate trickery to mask the major failure of Trump’s braggadocio about swiftly ending the war.
In short: the talk was the perfunctory, basic exchange of pleasantries and customary political gestures, nothing more. If you read the actual quotes and soundbites from various Russian officials, it is clear that Russia is no closer to any real negotiations, and is merely indulging the US its moment in the limelight of ostensibly ‘leading the peace charge’. In fact, I believe Trump even said he offered Putin a temporary ceasefire, which was quickly swept under the rug after Putin declined.
You are there actually quoting from Simplicius76, who failed to understand what is actually happening here: the end of the Atlantic Alliance, and of the Cold War, both of which started on 25 July 1945.
Yes - and I tried to edit the comment to make it clearer that it was the author from whose link this was quoted from - but it seems like substack is making editing a PITA - so be it - I really don't give a rat's - I'm just DaLibrarian!
I have given three answers to that questions, and here they are in increasing orders of complexity, but central to all of these explanations is the starting-date; so, here they are: 25 July 1945 (https://archive.is/jJo9a), 25 July 1945 (https://archive.is/syA3F), 25 July 1945 (https://archive.is/Fo3ou).
Finally ... 👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥

I beg to differ.

What was the point of fighting Russia over Ukraine?
