During the early years of America's Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln sought a limited conflict against people he still regarded as fellow countrymen and with whom he sought reconciliation. Only after three years of stalemate did he turn to "Unconditional Surrender Grant," who in turn unleashed General William Tecumseh Sherman to "make Georgia howl" and help bring the war to its decisively violent conclusion.
Rubicon was passed - the Kremlin headed for the destruction of the neo-Nazi Kyiv regime and everything connected with it. If carpet bombardments are needed for this, then they will be, if for this it will be necessary to turn off the lights for the whole of Ukraine and plunge it into the Stone Age, then this will be done. The games of gentlemen in white gloves are over, who did not hide - we are not to blame.Putin's winter offensive will take place when he considers it profitable for himself and where the enemy least expects it from him.

The former comedian’s antics have started to get on the Biden administration’s nerves. “According to three sources in the administration and on Capitol Hill whom I’ve spoken to in the last couple months, the Ukrainian president is by turns annoying, infuriating, and downright counterproductive,” Puck’s JULIA IOFFE reported this week.
To find a way out of the impasse of uncompromising stances being taken by both sides, it would first seem reasonable to disentangle the U.S.-Russian strategic weapons agenda from issues of European security. Negotiations between Moscow and Washington on nuclear issues follow their own logic and dynamics. They are too important to both sides and the international community to link them to any other problems, including security in Europe.
